I’m not able to build anything, i’ve followed your instructions on Ubuntu 12.04. If you have any problems, please post them in this forum and let me know. You can then create a ready-to-build Arduino project by proceeding with the project wizard. Now launch CodeBlocks, click Create Project and you will see Arduino Project marked in red. RegisterWizard(wizProject, _T('arduino'), _T('Arduino Project'), _T('Embedded Systems')) 4. Insert following line in the range of function RegisterWizards(). The file to be modified is located at: /usr/share/codeblocks/templates/wizard/config.script Modify the CodeBlocks project wizard configuration script # svn checkout svn://.net/p/arduinodev/code/trunk/cbaddons ~/.codeblocks 3. codeblocks directory if you have subversion installed. # tar jxvf 2Īs an alternative to the aboves, you can check out the latest code directly into. You need to put all the files in ~/.codeblocks which is the user data directory of CodeBlocks. There are two ways to get the package which I put all my addon and tweaks in, either by downloading the release file or checking out latest files from subversion. Get and extract the Arduino addon files for CodeBlocks You can use Ubuntu’s Software Center to search and install all these packages, or you can simply pull in all these packages with one command line: # sudo apt-get install codeblocks g++ gcc-avr avr-libc avrdude cutecomĪfter a confirmation prompt, these packages will be fetched and installed like a charm.Ģ. Hoping this won’t piss off the Arduino IDE developers.

Yes, you don’t need to install Arduino IDE package. AVRDUDE (the AVR download/upload utility).G++ (C++ compiler for host machine, used for building simulation target).Code::Blocks (the open-source IDE, why on earth do they like two commas in between).

Here is a guide showing all the steps for setting up a productive Arduino development environment with CodeBlocks on a Linux box. I put all my addons and tweaks on CodeBlocks IDE into a single downloadable package, so it’s easy for everyone to get this done from scratch. Thanks to Ubuntu that makes life a lot easier on Linux, I have the chance to get this done in one day. After maintaining CodeBlocks Arduino Edition, which is an out-of-box distribution for Windows only, for several months, I finally got everything to work on Linux.
