[SOLVED]: Building CodeLite from sources on Linux

Hi,
My Linux machine crashed and I had to redo the install of GNOME3.
Now tonight I downloaded the source code for CodeLite - latest stable version and tried to build it by following the instructions found
here.
However I got this:
Code: Select all
igor@IgorReinCloud ~/codelite-12.0/build-debug $ cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug -DWITH_MYSQL=1 -DPREFIX=/home/igor/codelite/
CMake Error: The source directory "/home/igor/codelite-12.0/build-debug" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.
Any idea on how to work around?
Also, it looks like the pinned thread in this forum has a broken URL for the WiKi.
Thank you.

Hi,
If your paste is accurate, you missed the terminal '..' from the cmake command. CMakeLists.txt is in the parent dir.
Also, it looks like the pinned thread in this forum has a broken URL for the WiKi.
Thanks, it was a broken link pointing to the recently-broken wiki. Now fixed.
Regards,
David

Thank you, David.
For some reason, I missed those - maybe I was in a hurry.
One more thing -
this page does not list DbExplorer as available plugin. Or it is intentional because there is no documentation on it?
Thank you.

It is just missing the documentation.
Working with the DB explorer plugin is pretty straightforward:
Open a connection to the database and you will have the DB / schema layout in the DbExplorer tab.
Double click a table and it will open a SQL panel where you can type any SQL command and execute them

Hi, Eran,
Maybe some basic stuff.
DbExplorer is a plugin that let you do this and this.
It does support such and such databases version X and Y.
Otherwise not many people will know about it - especially newcomers.
Maybe even a screenshot somewhere on its usage inside the CodeLite...
Thank you.

Hi, guys,
I just tried to do the build.
That's what II received:

1. Why does it needs libssh? Can I turn it off?
2. If not - what package is required: libssh or libssh2? Or just one of them?
Thank you.

CodeLite requires libssh for the SFTP plugin
The package needed is libssh-dev not libssh2

You can disable it by passing:
