Installing CodeBlocks

Apple has nothing to do with Code::Blocks.

The last available binary Code::Blocks available for Mac download was released in 2013 and it is for i386 (32-bit) installations — so that excludes Catalina. According to the Code::Blocks site, they have not updated their Mac builds due to lack of resources and demand — so no version 17 is available for Mac.

Use Xcode, Xcode command-line tools with a suitable programmer's editor, or some other C++ IDE that has been kept current and is compatible with the 64-bit Catalina.
