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
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. These are instructions on how to build Code::Blocks under Apple Mac OS X. They have been tested under Mac OS X version 10.4 (PowerPC and Intel), and should work similarly on the newer Mac OS X. The 17.12 version of CodeBlocks for Mac is provided as a free download on our website. This application's bundle is identified as org.codeblocks.app. Codeblocks-10.05-p1-mac.dmg is the most common filename for this program's installer. This free Mac app is an intellectual property of The Code::Blocks team. Double-click on the Code::Blocks icon. The first time you do this, the Mac OS will ask, 'Are you sure you want to open it?' Select Don't Warn Me When Opening Applications on This Disk Image and click Open. Code::Blocks should start and find the gcc compiler installed with the Command Line Tools. Select the gcc compiler, as shown in the.
Codeblocks Download For Mac
- 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.
Mac Os Block Website
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:
- 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: Ricochet download for mac.

- 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
