This works but is unsupported. If you need need CLion, go ahead. If you’re flexible, there’s VScode and VScodium.
Download clion
for Linux OS from here and do these steps:
$ tar -xvf JetBrains.CLion.XXXX.Y.tar -C /path/to/folder
$ cd /path/to/folder
$ rm clion/jbr -rf
$ guix build icedtea
/gnu/store/xn93xpr25r21gzh6228aijcak1n3gd08-icedtea-3.7.0-doc
/gnu/store/1y4mxpqdans1q8p6wskhklsl335abgqq-icedtea-3.7.0-jdk
/gnu/store/8cvi052nr1cak2sggjy7bq8z29jp9pjz-icedtea-3.7.0
$ sudo ln -sv /gnu/store/1y4mxpqdans1q8p6wskhklsl335abgqq-icedtea-3.7.0-jdk /var/guix/gcroots
$ ln -sv /var/guix/gcroot/1y4mxpqdans1q8p6wskhklsl335abgqq-icedtea-3.7.0-jdk /path/to/folder/clion/jbr
$ /path/to/folder/clion/bin/clion.sh
Update CMake
and GDB
path in Configuration Toolchains
:
/home/panther/.guix-profile/bin/cmake
for CMake
/home/panther/.guix-profile/bin/gdb
for gdb
I assumed you installed cmake
and gdb
already.
CLion uses an embedded version of clangd
as language server for auto completion support, and it crashes due to missing library issues. a quick workaround is to disable clangd
completion and use build-in auto completion support in CLion. for this we need to go to following path
settings
> languages and frameworks
> C\C++
> clangd
and select Disable Cland completion
option in code completion
section.
If you faced with any java runtime exception the CLion version is not matched with installed JDK (icedtea
). Currently the latest version of icedtea
is 3.7
that is released for OpenJDK 8
.
One of popular errors is:
Error: A JNI error has occurred, please check your installation and try again
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: com/intellij/idea/Main has been compiled by a more recent version of the Java Runtime (class file version 55.0), this version of the Java Runtime only recognizes class file versions up to 52.0
Let’s see how the major version numbers map to Java versions:
45 = Java 1.1
46 = Java 1.2
47 = Java 1.3
48 = Java 1.4
49 = Java 5
50 = Java 6
51 = Java 7
52 = Java 8
53 = Java 9
54 = Java 10
55 = Java 11
56 = Java 12
57 = Java 13
These version tested with this approach and are working with icedtea@3.7
:
CLion-2019.3.4
CLion-2019.3.6
CLion-2020.1
