Howto install from source skipping opengl

wxPython Users

Hi from France,

I need to install wxPython from source on a linux machine. My build stops at “OpenGL librairies not available”.

I read in an older documentation (http://www.wxpython.org/download-2.6.4.0.php) “If you are building wxPython yourself and don’t care to use OpenGL/Mesa then you can easily skip building it and can ignore this step. See the build instructions for details.” That’s my case I do not care about OpenGL

Unfortunately this page points to today’s build instructions which gives no clue about skipping OpenGL.

I have started looking at the code but could not find a quick answer. Could someone instruct me on how to make the build script skip openGL ?

Thanks

Vincent

Vincent,
Have you tried adding
to the flags you
give to ./configure ?

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your contribution

Actually the build instructions now only detail the installation through build-wxpython.py. Would you have a pointer to a more detailed procedure involving configure step ?

Cheers
