I seem to be having a problem building wxPython on Mageia 3

http://www.mageia.org/en/

Looking for built wx2.9.4.1+ Instructions from basic install getGo.
Has anyone else successfully built wxPython greater than 2.8. on mandriva/mageia?

Help would be appreciated.

Yes successfully wxPython-2.9.1.1 on Mandriva 2010.2.
For the moment I have stopped tests with wxPython-2.9.x because my programs don't work in unicode :cry:

I modify /usr/local/wxPython-src-2.xxx/wxPython/config.py

         class MyUnixCCompiler(distutils.unixccompiler.UnixCCompiler):
             def _compile(self, obj, src, ext, cc_args, extra_postargs, pp_opts):
                 compiler_so = self.compiler_so
                 if sys.platform == 'darwin':
                     compiler_so = _darwin_compiler_fixup(compiler_so, cc_args + extra_postargs)
                 # Mandriva -----------------------------------------
                 self.linker_so = [el for el in self.linker_so \
                                   if el != '-Wl,--no-undefined']
                 compiler_so = [el for el in compiler_so \
                                if el != '-Werror=format-security']
                 # Mandriva -----------------------------------------
                 try:
                     self.spawn(compiler_so + cc_args + [src, '-o', obj] +
                                extra_postargs)
                 except DistutilsExecError, msg:
                     raise CompileError, msg

Then :

cd wxPython-src-2.xxx...
mkdir bld
cd wxPython
python build-wxpython.py --build-dir=../bld --debug --install --installdir=/usr/lib

Hope this help you ...

Hmmm. Nope. That didn’t seem to work.
I’m using Mageia 3.(May 2013)

Building from scratch instructions is what I’m looking for…

  1. Install Mageia 3(could be on a VM)
  2. Build/Install wxPython and running properly. Ex: >>>import wx
  3. Test my App.

I am at step 2.

opps… Dummy Me…
wrong directory in Konsole.
It’s building now… or doing something magically…

… taking a bit of time will get back …

5

It gave me this…at the …end of building.

You need to be root or use sudo to install to the system paths. Or you can run in-place from the build folders by setting PYTHONPATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the environment.
