Hi there :slight_smile: ,

I’m on Linux OpenMandriva LX4.2, python3.9.1.

I tried to install wxPython 4.1.1, following the receipe :
https://wxpython.org/blog/2017-08-17-builds-for-linux-with-pip/index.html

launching command : pip wheel -v wxPython-4.1.1.tar.gz 2>&1 | tee build.log

the process failed on error :

Any idea on what happens ?

Thanks a lot in advance

It looks like you may have trimmed too much of the log and the real problem happened earlier. Look for clues in the wxWidgets part of the build, especially the output of the configure step.

Thank you Robin for your advice.

I saw in log file :

  checking for WEBKIT... configure: WARNING: webkit2gtk not found, falling back to webkitgtk
  checking for WEBKIT... yes
  checking for CAIRO... yes

So I installed the webkitgtk2-dev package.

I launched again the installation, but it failed again :

  [492/921] Compiling sip/cpp/sip_corewxLogWindow.cpp
  [493/921] Linking build/waf/3.9/gtk3/_core.cpython-39-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
  collect2: fatal error: ld terminated with signal 15 [Terminated]
  compilation terminated.

I try to figure out what is going wrong, but I can not see a clue.

So I join the log file in order someone can have a look and tell me where to detect the problem…

build.zip (372.5 KB)

Thanks again for your advises

#4

I managed to fix the installation issue :
I use VirtualBox on which I had installed OpenMandrive LX4.2 with 3 Go RAM and 1 processor associated.

Changing to 8 Go RAM and 2 processors, resolved the installation problem.

Sorry for the disturb…
