Technically this is a wxWidgets build problem, but as I am tryng to build wxPython I am hoping someone here can give me an idea as to what's going wrong.
I'm a little bamboozled. Having made one successful 2.8.5 wxWidgets build I cannot make another as I am getting syntax errors, typified by:

make: *** [basedll_appbase.o] Error 1You can avoid using the STL and the std::string by adding --disable-stl and --disable-std_string to your configure command-line.
Thanks, that got me much further. I am currently finding out what other bits and pieces I need to eliminate by a process of trial and error - there sure are a lot of options. I've also now disabled a couple of other options, and discovered I need --without-regex. The current configure is
$ ../configure --prefix=/home/wx28/ --enable-rpath=/home/wx28 --disable-stl --disable-std_string --disable-log --without-regex
and I am currently failing to compile string.cpp:
../src/common/string.cpp: In member function `bool wxString::ToULong(long unsigned int*, int) const':
../src/common/string.cpp:1722: error: `wcstoul' undeclared (first use this function)
../src/common/string.cpp: In member function `bool wxString::ToDouble(double*) const':
../src/common/string.cpp:1759: error: `wcstod' undeclared (first use this function)
make: *** [basedll_string.o] Error 1I presume that the required definitions are being omitted conditionally? I wish I'd recorded the options I used to configure the first time through.
Oh well, I'll get there in the end - though after I manage to build for Cygwin the packaging requirements look a little daunting if we want to mae it a standard component.
Hmm. Now when I use the following configure command:
$ ../configure --prefix=/home/wx28/ --disable-stl --disable-unicode --enable-optimise --enable-debug_flag --disable-sound --disable-precomp-headers
everything proceeds along fine until make tries to compile helpdata.cpp, when I see
/c/Steve/Projects/wxWidgets-2.8.5/bld-cygwin/bk-deps g++ -c -o htmldll_helpdata.o -D__WXMSW__ -I../src/tiff -I../src/jpeg -I../src/png -DWXUSINGDLL -DWXMAKINGDLL_HTML -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGE_FILES -D__WXDEBUG__ -I/c/Steve/Projects/wxWidgets-2.8.5/bld-cygwin/lib/wx/include/msw-ansi-debug-2.8 -I../include -Wall -Wundef -Wno-ctor-dtor-privacy -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing ../src/html/helpdata.cpp

This is frustrating. I compiled it correctly once, but apparently I forgot the magic formula. Let k]me know if I need to take this to some wxWidgets list. It's getting a bit beyond me ...
