What is CodeLite?
====

[CodeLite][1] is a free, open source, cross platform IDE specialized in C, C++, PHP and JavaScript (mainly for backend developers using Node.js) programming languages, which runs best on all major platforms (Windows, macOS and Linux).

You can download pre-built binaries for Windows, macOS and Linux from our **[Download Page][2]**.

----------

Building CodeLite on Linux
----

To build CodeLite on your computer you will need these packages:

 - wxWidgets 3.0 or later development packages (or a self-build)
 - The GTK development packages: often called libgtk-3-dev or gtk3-devel, or similar
 - pkg-config (which usually comes with the GTK dev package)
 - The build-essential package (or the relevant bit of it: G++, Make etc)
 - CMake
 - Git.

You should have wxWidgets 3.0 or later built on your machine. If you don't know how to build (or you're just lazy...) you can [download wxWidgets from CodeLite's repository][6].


On Ubuntu / Debian you can install all of the above by typing:

    sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev pkg-config build-essential git cmake libssh-dev libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev libsqlite3-dev

Git clone the sources:

    git clone https://github.com/eranif/codelite.git

Run CMake and build CodeLite:

  ```bash
  cd codelite
  mkdir build-release
  cd build-release
  cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
  cmake --build . -j $(nproc)
  sudo cmake --build . --target install
  ```

----------

Building CodeLite on macOS
----

Prerequisites:

 - wxWidgets 3.1 or later
 - CMake
 - Git
 - Xcode
 - Xcode command-line tools
 - Homebrew.

Preparation:
 - (Optional) Make a separate folder for building if you want to get rid of all except the .app file after building
 - Install Xcode from Mac App Store
 - Install Xcode command-line tools: `xcode-select --install`
 - Install Homebrew:
```
 ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
```
 - Update Homebrew: `brew update`
 - (Optional) Upgrade Homebrew packages: `brew upgrade`
 - Install Git: `brew install git`
 - Install CMake: `brew install cmake`
 - Install wxWidgets: `brew install wxmac --dev --use-llvm`


Clone the repo (lets assume that you have a folder `/Users/YOU/src`)

  ```bash
  cd /Users/YOU/src
  git clone https://github.com/eranif/codelite.git
  ```
 the above will create the folder `/Users/YOU/codelite`

 To build CodeLite:

  ```bash
  cd /Users/YOU/codelite
  mkdir build-release
  cd build-release
  cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
  cmake --build . -j $(sysctl -n hw.physicalcpu)
  cmake --build . --target install
  ```

You should now have an app bundle `/Users/YOU/codelite/build-release/codelite.app`

To launch CodeLite:

`open /Users/YOU/codelite/build-release/codelite.app`

----------

Building CodeLite on Windows
----

Git clone the sources:

    git clone https://github.com/eranif/codelite.git

 - Download CodeLite installer for Windows from our [Download Page][8]
 - Build wxWidgets 3.1 or later. See build instructions [here][7]
 - Open the workspace **CodeLiteIDE.workspace** (located in the CodeLite's folder)
 - Make sure that the project **CodeLiteIDE** is selected (the active project uses **bold** font)
 - Select the **Win_x64_Release** or **Win_x86_Release** (depending if you want to build a 32 or 64 bit version of CodeLite) and hit **F7**
 - When the compilation is over, close the workspace
 - Close CodeLite
 - To update your installation with the new CodeLite, close CodeLite and from a cmd.exe window navigate to codelite-sources/Runtime/ and run the file **update64.bat** OR **update.bat** (again, depending on your selected arch).
