Help for a new Ubuntu user

[WeekendWarrior]

Hi all.

I am, for all intents and purposes, a 'new to linux' user. I am working with a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04. I am working with Codelite 6.1 from the repository and have also installed build-dep packages using:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get build-dep codelite

I am trying to follow the initial 'hello world' tutorial found here - http://codelite.org/LiteEditor/WxCrafterHelloWorld

Following this tutorial brings up the following errors on compilation:

Code: Select all

/bin/sh -c '/usr/bin/make -j4 -e -f  Makefile'

I have tried to follow the through multiple times reading various forum posts and websites as it seems like a common initial problem, but I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Can comeone please help me with this issue?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Warning: No config found to match: /usr/bin/wx-config --libs --debug

You're trying to make a 'debug' build of the project. However that isn't available on your system, so calls to the wx-config script asking for debug wx-libs will fail.

One solution is to build in 'release' mode. At the top of the Workspace View, which is probably on the left of CodeLite, you'll see a wxChoice which contains 'Debug' and 'Release'. Yours is set to 'Debug', so...

Alternatively install the CodeLite debug packages.

Regards,

David

Hi DavidGH,

Thank you for your fast and clear reply to my question

I can confirm that, running in release mode, the source compiled correctly and I am up and running.

Thank you very much!
