Please select a setup package depending on your platform:
Code::Blocks implements a custom build system with very important features: ultra-fast dependencies generation, build queues and parallel builds are the most important ones to mention. Debugging The debugging subsystem has been greatly enhanced in the latest version. Download the Code::Blocks 10.05 image. If you know you don't have Xcode installed, download the Developer Tools DVD from Apple. Mount the disk image, it's a standard Apple Disk Image (.dmg). Copy the application to where you want it (e.g. The 'keybinder' plugin is not working in the 10.05 release.
NOTE: For older OS'es use older releases. There are releases for many OS version and platforms on the Sourceforge.net page.
NOTE: There are also more recent nightly builds available in the forums or (for Ubuntu users) in the Ubuntu PPA repository. Please note that we consider nightly builds to be stable, usually.
NOTE: We have a Changelog for 20.03, that gives you an overview over the enhancements and fixes we have put in the new release.
NOTE: The default builds are 64 bit (starting with release 20.03). We also provide 32bit builds for convenience. The 32 bit packages have either the same 64 bit compiler as the 64 bit version included or (which is recommended) a 32 bit version of the compiler.

Note: The Linux packages above are compressed archives (tar, tar.xz or tar.bz2). When you decompress the package you downloaded on your system, you will find all the .rpm or .deb packages required to install Code::Blocks.
Note: On RedHat/CentOS older revisions of 6 (up to 6.2 as far as we know) you need to add repoforge (former rpmforge) to your repolist, to be able to install the needed wxGTK-package. See http://repoforge.org/use for an instruction.
Note: Redhat/CentOS probably also needs an installed hunspell-package, if you want to install the contrib-plugins.

NOTES:
- Code::Blocks 20.03 for Mac is currently not available due to issues caused by Apple hardening their install packages and lack of Mac developers. We could use an extra Mac developer to work on these issues.
- The provided download contains an Application Bundle (for the i386 architecture) built for Mac OS X 10.6 (and later), bundling most Code::Blocks plugins.
For older release versions please check here.
This article describes how to install a nightly build of Code::Blocks.
- NOTE: The nightly builds for Mac OS X are not official (just yet)
The packages are currently done infrequently, and not really 'nightly'.
Install steps
- Download the Developer Tools from Apple, if not installed with Mac OS X.
- For Mac OS X 10.4, you need to install Xcode Tools version 2.4 or later
- Download the latest Mac binary ZIP package of Code::Blocks, from BerliOS.
- For Mac OS X 10.4 up to 10.6 (PowerPC or Intel), download the 'Universal'
- Now unpack the zip file package, and put CodeBlocks.app where you like it.
- The suggested location is /Developer/Applications or ~/Applications.
- wxWidgets (2.8.x, dylib) is included inside the application bundle.
MacPorts
If you prefer, you can install Code::Blocks / wxWidgets using MacPorts instead:Installing_Code::Blocks_from_source_on_Mac_OS_X#Install_with_MacPorts.
There are no binary packages for MacPorts just yet, so it compiles from the source.

Known Issues
First of all, see the issues that apply to all builds of Code::Blocks:
Codeblock For Mac
- http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php?board=20.0 (release notes)
- http://developer.berlios.de/bugs/?group_id=5358 (reported bugs)
There are also some bugs that only apply to the Mac OS X version:
Open in console doesn't work with Terminal.app, only wxGTK/X11/xtermSplash window is not centered on the display- Occasional 'can't flush file descriptor 12'
- Batch building (from the terminal) crashes
Not really bugs, but some things that might require extra setup:
- There is no direct support for adding frameworks, use -framework
- The default package does not have developer files for wxWidgets
- Not all wizards have Mac tweaks to the generated code/projects
- Not all of the included contributed plugins work on Mac just yet
