Hi,

(I presume that, by Linux 12.04, you mean ubuntu 12.04...)
We don't provide recent CodeLite debs for ancient ubuntu versions. If for some reason you can't update your ubuntu to something more recent, you will need to build CodeLite yourself.

To do that, you will need to have the wxWidgets toolkit installed: wx3.0.0 or higher (the current stable release is 3.0.3). If that has been backported to 12.04 then just install it: apt-get install libwxgtk3.0-dev and its dependencies. Otherwise we supply wx3.0.0 packages.

Then follow the CodeLite build instructions, though the versions of some dependencies may be different for 12.04.

Regards,

David

Ubuntu 12.04 is no longer reviving security updates and so it's highly recommended that you upgrade your system. If you upgrade to Ubuntu 16.04 you will have support until 2021 and CodeLite 9.1 (10.0.7 is also an option via PPA) is available from it's built in repository.
