Installing CodeBlocks

Skava · 2015-12-15 16:01:00

Is there a way to install CodeBlocks? I found something on the CrunchBang forum but not sure if the same method would apply here (http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=18189)

Have you tried the repositories?
Could work

sudo apt-get install codeblocks

I should've mentioned that that was the first things I did but I get this error:

Package codeblocks is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'codeblocks' has no installation candidate

I tried updating the repositories but still get the same error messages

The package is in `jessie-backports`. Have you enabled that repo?

apt-cache policy is telling me that codeblocks is available in jessie-backports; try adding jessie-backports to your /etc/apt/sources.list.

EDIT: ninja'd by damo.

I read this page:https://pkg.bunsenlabs.org/#jessie-backports which says I should add the repo into /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bunsen-jessie-backports.list

I then tried doing a

sudo apt-get -t jessie-backports install codeblocks

and even tried

sudo apt-get install -t jessie-backports codeblocks

(saw hhh mention this with regards to the power management icon) but I still get the same error as shown in my second post

edit: just had a look into the jessie-backports repository and I don't see codeblocks in there. Checked under Development and Editors. Prehaps it wasn't there in the first place?

edit2: nevermind, I see it now but can't install it

^ You need to re-run

sudo apt-get update

after changing your /etc/apt/sources.list before APT can find packages in the newly added repositories.

EDIT: It's in the devel section of jessie-backports.

Yeah I already did that after putting the line in my sources.list but it doesn't install anything

edit:

is only available from another source

Did you retry with -t jessie-backports?

Could you post the output that is displayed when you run $(sudo apt-get update)?

You have the BunsenLabs jessie-backports repository -- you need to add the official Debian version.

Use:

sudo apt edit-sources

Then add this line:

deb http://httpredir.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main

Then update your package database and install:

sudo sh -c 'apt update && apt install codeblocks/jessie-backports'

Yes I have been using -t jessie-backports throughout all this. As requested, here's my output when doing a sudo apt-get update

@Head_on_a_Stick I think there may be a problem with the repository link you gave since I get a 404 error when trying to update the repo

There's a typo in your sources. It's a common one actually.

Well we got there eventually, it was the definetely a typo, although I don't remember adding that specific link to my /etc/apt/sources.list file. Anywho, not going to think about it too much now. Thanks for the help
