CT on Mageia 6

Contents[Hide]

We test Lab CodeTyphon 6.20 on Mageia 6

Mageia is a fork of Mandriva Linux formed in September 2010 by former employees and contributors to the popular French Linux distribution. Unlike Mandriva, which is a commercial entity, the Mageia project is a community project and a non-profit organisation whose goal is to develop a free Linux-based operating system.

System: Middle level PC with 1 CPU (8-Cores) / 8 Gbyte RAM / 120 Gbytes Hard Disk / 1600x1200 pixels Monitor
OS : Mageia 6 64bits with MATE as frontend Desktop

 

 

 

1. OS things and stuff..

Mageia 6 Linux is a true Multi-CPU and Multi-Platform OS.
We install all big Desktops in this installation
GNOME 3, Xfce, KDE (QT5), Cinnamon, MATE and LXDE

 

 

2. Preparation-Give "sudo" root privileges

Open a terminal and exec

sudo nano /etc/sudoers

 

add at the end of /etc/sudoers the line

username ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

Ctl-X to exit and Y to save

 

 

 

3. Download-Unzip-Install

Download CodeTyphonIns.zip and unzip to your home directory

 

Open a terminal, and go to new CodeTyphonIns directory

cd CodeTyphonIns

Start CodeTyphon Installation with command

sh ./install.sh

Give zero "0" to Install CodeTyphon

 

 

 

4. Setup and Build (for GTK2)

After CT install you can start CTCenter or to continue with the open terminal

We select "MultiArch" option but this is our choice.

warningPlease remember Mageia 6 + CodeTyphon Multiarch need more than 30 Gbites on your Hard Disk

Select "12" for Multi-Architecture Setup page

 

Select "1" to enable Multi-Arch

 

It's the first installation of CodeTyphon on this PC, so we install "system libraries" select "0".

 

Select "8" to build all...

 

 

 

5. Finally

 

CTCenter, Typhon32 and Typhon64 for GTK2, with ALL Docked Option (single Window)

 

 

 

6. Libraries tests (GTK2)

We test some of about 1300 CodeOcean samples...

7. Build Typhon IDE for QT4 (KDE4)

a) Switch Typhon IDE Host Platform to QT4

CodeTyphon Center => Setup Dialog

and select QT4 Platform

b) Only for the first time, install OS System Libraries

CodeTyphon Center =>HostPC=>"Install System Libraries"

c) Remove and Build Typhon IDE for new Platform (QT4)

CodeTyphon Center =>Typhon IDE=>"Remove and Build"

Finally...

Typhon32 and Typhon64 for QT4 (KDE 4) with ALL Docked Option (single Window)

 

 

 

8. Build Typhon IDE for QT5 (KDE5)

 

Mageia 6 Linux use QT version 5.6.2, CodeTyphon 6.2 use QT5 version >= 5.7.0

So, it's NOT possible to build Typhon IDE for QT5 Platform
