General: Precompiled binaries for Mac / Windows / Linux

codelite offers a several installers for the various OSs. Download the proper installer from here
Make sure to pick the latest version available! (currently the latest version is codelite-4.1)

Mac

Mac installation is easy:

1. download the bundle application from sourceforge
2. Extract the zip and click the application from Finder or type from Terminal:

open CodeLite.app/

Windows

For Windows, there are 3 installers that can be downloaded from SourceForge:

• An installer which only includes codelite IDE only
• An installer which includes codelite IDE + MinGW suite (GNU toolchain + WinAPI)
• An installer which includes codelite IDE + MinGW suite + wxWidgets SDK

Linux

CodeLite private repository

There is an apt repository with latest codelite version available for ubuntu lucid, oneiric, precise and quantal, plus debian squeeze and wheezy; and rpms for fedora 17 and 18, and openSUSE 12.2. See the Repository page for details.

To use codelite to build programs, you'll need to have the necessary tools installed (e.g. 'make', 'g++'). To build wxWidgets programs, you'll also need a full wxGTK installation, not just the libraries. See the next section for how to do this.

Then for a .deb, type in a terminal:

 
 sudo dpkg -i <deb file name>

If you get missing dependency errors (e.g. libwxgtk2.8-0 or libgtk), try:

 sudo apt-get -f install

The above command will attempt to install the missing dependencies (if they are available in the repositories) and will complete the codelite installation.

An rpm can be installed as usual, with:

 #> rpm -Uvh ./codelite-*.rpm

CodeLite from source

For other Linux distros, you can build CodeLite from source. There's a tarball at the above url, or you can checkout the latest CodeLite version from git:

 git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/codelite/codelitegit codelite

Once the tarball is untarred or the cloning completed, you can create a 'Release Unicode' build with:

 cd codelite/
 ./configure 
 make

 make install

For further information check "Developers/Linux" page.

Miscellaneous

wxWidgets (optional)

CodeLite uses the wxWidgets toolkit. Since the 5.0 release CodeLite requires wxWidgets >=2.9.4.
This isn't available from distros (and won't be until after wx3.0 is released) so here are wxWidgets 2.9.4 binaries and repos for recent versions of the commonest distros.

Alternatively, to build wxWidgets from source:
Install your distro's gtk2 devel package (which is libgtk2.0-dev in ubuntu) plus sensible things like 'g++' and 'make'.
Download the most recent wxWidgets tarball (t
