Hi,

at [1] is written

python2.6 build-wxpython.py --build_dir=../bld

I would expect that it should be

python2.6 setup.py build

or not?

build-wxpython.py is a tool that is the "one script to rule them all" as it is a front-end to the wxWidgets build as well as the wxPython build. So it is able to be the one step that takes care of the entire process for you.

OK, and where the script is located?

$ tar tjf wxPython-src-2.8.12.1.tar.bz2 | grep build-wxpython.py

-> no file found

It was added in the 2.9 series. Since the subject of your message said "2.9" I assumed that is what you are using. If you're building 2.8 instead then see wxPython/docs/BUILD.txt

ops, sorry for noise, I completely overlooked "2.8/2.9". Thanks for
patience. Martin
