Error compiling datetime.cpp

wxPython Users
1

Hi,

I am trying to install wyPython 2.4.0.7 on Solaris 9
(gtk++ 2.2.1, glib 2.2.1, wxWindows 2.4.0 already installed)
but the compiler(gcc 3.2) falls over with the error attached
below.
Can anyone help with this, or are there Solaris binaries
available? I couldn't find any pre-compiled Solaris binaries
on wxPython.org.

thanks,

Denis Grannell

If you have a wxWindows 2.4.0 build aready then it must not be a unicode build or was built on a system that doesn't have strptime()...

but the compiler(gcc 3.2) falls over with the error attached

Enter a bug report about this and then try doing a non-unicode build. Then wxChar will be the same as char and the code in quesion will compile.

If you have a wxWindows 2.4.0 build aready then it must not be a unicode
build or was built on a system that doesn't have strptime()...

The system does in fact have strptime() but the problem
was, as you anticipated, that the build wasn't a unicode build.
Thanks a lot for for the tip.

cheers,
