Building wxPython-4.0.4 on Mint 19.1 64 bit

[gloimon]

I have successfully built wxPython-4.0.4 on the Raspberry Pi and Mint 19.1 32 bit but I am running into an error when I build on Mint 19.1 64 bit.

I am building using python 3.7.2 built form source

Building waf:

waf 2.0.8 (abi 20, python 30702f0 on linux)

using /home/eric/Dev/wxPython-4.0.4/bin/waf-2.0.8 --verbose --wx_config=/home/eric/Dev/wxPython-4.0.4/build/wxbld/gtk3/wx-config --verbose --jobs=4 --gtk3 --python=/home/eric/p37/bin/python3 --out=bui\

ld/waf/3.7/gtk3 configure build

I get the following error shown in config.log

3.6.7 (default, Oct 22 2018, 11:32:17)
[GCC 8.2.0]
Python’s architecture is 64bit
cfg.VERSION: 4.0.4

I have verified my package list Mint 19.1 64 bit is the the save as Mint 19.1 32 bit. I also verified I have the same python packages installed on both versions. Everything in requirements.txt loads successfully

Have I overlooked something simple? Should I install the libraries and build a 32 bit version instead?

Thank you,

Did you use the --enable-shared configure option when building Python?

What command line are you using to do the wxPython build?

Where is your wxPython source coming from? (The source tarball from PyPI? A checkout or archive created from GitHub?)

If I try to build using the python 3.6 as supplied in the distribution I get the following error building waf:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘sip/cpp/_core.sbf’

This file is included in the PyPI source tarball, but since it is a generated file it is not checked in to git. If you’re using wxPython source code from GitHub then you’ll need to run extra steps to generate the missing files.

Python’s architecture is 64bit

As long as you’re using a 64-bit version of Linux and a 64-bit build of Python then the 64-bit build of wxPython would be the preferred configuration.

I rebuilt python with --enable-shared and the wxPython build is now past the point where it failed.

Thank you for the suggestion.

No, I assumed that was the default.

What command line are you using to do the wxPython build?

./configure --enable optimizations

Where is your wxPython source coming from? (The source tarball from PyPI? A checkout or archive created from GitHub?)

source from:

Python source from https://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.7.2/Python-3.7.2.tgz

If I try to build using the python 3.6 as supplied in the distribution I get the following error building waf:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ‘sip/cpp/_core.sbf’

This file is included in the PyPI source tarball, but since it is a generated file it is not checked in to git. If you’re using wxPython source code from GitHub then you’ll need to run extra steps to generate the missing files.

This error came from using the version of python that came with the distribution. I guess this version will not work for building wxPython.

It should. The error message indicates that either you’re using source from git that hasn’t yet had the generated files created, or that something has happened to your local source tree.

Thank you. The build finished and it works now.

Sorry
