Hi there, I’m new to Clear Linux and wanted to install CodeLite for programming with.
According to their site they have Linux versions but I don’t know how I would get any of these to work with Clear Linux. They have releases for Debian, Fedora and Arch but most can only be installed through the terminal in those systems. Latest - CodeLite Documentation
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks.
I tried to build codelite from source following https://docs.codelite.org/build/build_from_sources/#linux and got this error [Bug]: build error on latest master using GCC 14.1.1 · Issue #3363 · eranif/codelite · GitHub
.../codelite/dtl/dtl/Diff.hpp:168:27: error: assignment of member ‘trivial’ in read-only object

The reporter was able to get around this issue by using clang instead of gcc so you can try that
Building with clang harder than it looks

Clone the repo and setup for building
git clone https://github.com/eranif/codelite.git --recursive
cd codelite
git checkout 17.10.0 #(latest release at time of writing)
mkdir build
cd build

Notes: 17.0.0 stable doesnt build with clang 17 or gcc 14, so autospec fails
The dependencies are taken directly from autospec, so I might be missing a few. Let me know if you get any errors
UPDATED deps in bundle-add command with pkgconfig requires
sorry about that, here you go
sudo swupd bundle-add devpkg-glib devpkg-at-spi2-core devpkg-gdk-pixbuf devpkg-gtk3 devpkg-pango flex
lets see how it goes now
NOTE: If you want to reset your build in case your cmake not acting nicely, just delete the build folder and try again
cd codelite
rm -rf build
mkdir build
cd build
