Ubuntu and Debian

Supported versions:

• Ubuntu 22.04, 20.04 / Debian 11, 10 and Sid - Builds are automatically generated with CI.
• Ubuntu 21.10, 21.04 / Debian 9 and below - Supported but not built automatically.

If you want to build CodeCTRL from source, you will need the following dependencies:

• libglib2.0-dev
• libpango1.0-dev
• libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-dev (on 20.04/Debian 10 use libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev)
• libatk1.0-dev
• libgtk-3-dev
• libxcb-shape0-dev
• libxcb-xfixes0-dev

Or just execute the either of the commands following depending on your distribution:

• Ubuntu 21.04+ / Debian 11+ / Debian Sid: # apt install libglib2.0-dev libpango1.0-dev libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-dev libatk1.0-dev libgtk-3-dev libxcb-shape0-dev libxcb-xfixes0-dev -y

• Ubuntu 20.04 / Debian 10: # apt install libglib2.0-dev libpango1.0-dev libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev libatk1.0-dev libgtk-3-dev libxcb-shape0-dev libxcb-xfixes0-dev -y

You will also need to install the following extra packages too:

• gcc / clang
• cmake
• build-essential

Which can be installed if you copy and paste this command into your terminal:

# apt install build-essential gcc clang cmake -y

Fedora

Supported versions:

• Fedora Rawhide and 36 - Builds automatically generated with CI.
• Fedora 34 and 35 - Supported but not generated automatically.

If you want to build CodeCTRL from source, you will need the following dependencies:

• gobject-introspection-devel
• cairo-devel
• atk-devel
• pango-devel
• gdk-pixbuf2-devel
• gtk3-devel

Or just execute the following command:

# dnf install gobject-introspection-devel cairo-devel atk-devel pango-devel gdk-pixbuf2-devel gtk3-devel -y

You will also need to install the following extra packages too:

• gcc / clang
• cmake
• The Development Tools group (# dnf groupinstall "Development Tools" -y)

RHEL - Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Supported versions:

• 7, 8 and 9 - Builds automatically generated with CI.
• 6 and below - Not supported but you may still be able to build.

If you want to build CodeCTRL from source, you will need the following dependencies:

• gobject-introspection-devel
• cairo-devel
• atk-devel
• pango-devel
• gdk-pixbuf2-devel
• gtk3-devel

You will also need to install the following extra packages too:

• gcc / clang
• cmake
• The Development Tools group (# dnf/yum groupinstall "Development Tools" -y)

RHEL 7

There’s a couple of steps to be able to build CodeCTRL on RHEL 7-based distributions.

1. Enable the epel-release repository: # yum install epel-release
2. Install cmake3: # yum install cmake3 (if you already have cmake installed. issue the following too: # yum remove cmake)
3. Soft-link cmake3 to /usr/bin/cmake: # ln -s /usr/bin/cmake3 /usr/bin/cmake

Then you can execute the following command:

# yum install gobject-introspection-devel cairo-devel atk-devel pango-devel gdk-pixbuf2-devel gtk3-devel -y

RHEL 8

Just execute the following command:

# dnf install gobject-introspection-devel cairo-devel atk-devel pango-devel gdk-pixbuf2-devel gtk3-devel -y

RHEL 9

Just execute the following command:

# dnf --enablerepo=crb install gobject-introspection-devel cairo-devel atk-devel pango-devel gdk-pixbuf2-devel gtk3-devel -y

You can now go back to the Building page and follow the rest of the instructions.
