Hi there,
I’ve been looking for a way to do dockable windows
under win32 for awhile and finally came across Aleksandras Guchovas’ FL
library that has been added to the contrib section of wxwidgets as of 2.3.2. Then
I came across a patch on sourceforge from 2003 for adding FL bindings to
wxpython: http://lists.wxwidgets.org/archive/wx-dev/msg38781.html
Has this patch made it into the main distribution of wxpython? Is there a
reason for this?
I’m willing to try compiling my own wxpython with this
patch, but if it’s already been done it would save me a lot of time
learning the build system (it’s probably in a FAQ but can I build a win32
version under linux or do I need something like VSC++?)
Thanks,
CN

I don’t believe it has yet. I can only speculate as to why, but my guess is that it was a combination of a lack of time, and the fact that FL itself hasn’t been actively maintained for some time.

A patch from 2.3.2 will not work with the current wxPython. Exactly how much work would need to be done, I’m not sure, but it might be more worthwhile to try and get software like wxDockit (http://wxextended.sourceforge.net/), which has had changes recently and seems to be maintained, running instead.
It might be worth asking the author if they’re interested in that.
