Compile fails in OpenSUSE Tumbleweed wxPython-4.2.0

Hello to the community,

I’ve tried to compile the wxPython-4.2.0 source code on Tumbleweed and it fails. I am including the o/p bellow:

user@pc-116:~> python -m pip install -U  wxpython

The directory ~/.local/include/python2.7/wxpython does not exists after the above process so I cannot access any log files probably from some kind of clean up.

Am I missing something or is a known problem for Tumbleweed?

It looks like some code was introduced that isn’t Python 2-compatible.

Are you really intending to use Python 2?

Yes, from the documentation of wxPython I have read that it is mandatory to use 2.7 in order to compile. I do have both 3.10 and 2.7 in my system but I used 2.7.18 python in order to compile the package.

I’ll give it a try with both latest pip and 3.10 python to see if it works.

Thanks

Nope,

I’ve got the following this time:

I did try to install all the dependencies as attrdict, attrmap and mapping successfully for python3 but the result keeps coming the same

You need attrdict3 not attrdict.

Thanks to your guidance I’ve managed to proceed to the compilation only to stuck further down with the following o/p:

I installed python-config and run the installation once more but it failed with the same result. I did not find anything on the net for this issue relevant. Is there another package missing too?

Found it! Had to install the header files and static libraries for python dev only to stuck just further down with the following o/p:

Version of gtk installed is:

It seems that there is a symbolic link that points to the directory the script is trying to access but its the first time that I see symbolic links with an asterisk and I do not know what that is in Tumbleweed. Changing folder manually does not either work:

But I already have installed setuptools

(builder_py) user@pc-116:~/tmp> pip install -U setuptools
Requirement already satisfied: setuptools in ./builder_py/lib/python3.10/site-packages (65.6.0)

A pick in the directory where setuptools is installed in this virtual python environment found the following list:

Is there a possibility because of my previous failed installation in the system to now fail compile the code? If so is there anything that can be done?

On your last run, it looks like possibly wxWidgets did not compile properly. It is indeed possible that a previous failed installation could be causing a problem. You might try clearing your pip cache, although I’m not sure exactly how to do that.

Yes I suppose wxWidgets is the package that did not compile correctly. Though I found it on YaST and installed it altogether. The result in this venv of python is the same. It always fails on [11/937].

Trying to “clean” pip on my local account seems dangerous as I have read on the net.

Just for clarity, I stopped trying to build with python3 and went back to python 2.7 interpreter since the displayCAL program requested from the beginning of their documentation that it requires python 2.7. I used wxPython 4.1.0

I run to this problem https://discuss.wxpython.org/t/building-wxpython-4-1-0-nixpkgs/34706 which seems unsolved from 2020 so I suppose I will stop looking into it too.
