Building packages from source on Arch linux

I've recently set up Arch linux on my desktop PC as a project over the summer, and I'm trying to figure out how to install programs from source. From what I've gathered I have to get the tarball file, extract it, run ./configure, then make, and make-install. I can get past the ./configure, but when I try to run the make command for a codeblocks install I get what looks like a whole bunch of compiler errors. According to the guide on the codeblocks wiki I have to install wxGTK2-2.8.12 before I can install codeblocks itself, and it tells me to run ../configure --prefix=/opt/wx/2.8 --enable-xrc --enable-monolithic --enable-unicode Which to me seems to work alright, here is the terminal output. I then try to run make from the same folder, and the output is really extensive, so sorry if it a pain to read, but the errors are at the end, just not sure whether you will need to see the previous outputs, so here is the entire make output.
