problems building wxpython-2.8.8.0

Heinz_Wiesinger · June 26, 2008, 5:56pm

Hello!

I am the maintainer of the wxPython build-script for Slackware, which is
available here: http://slackbuilds.org/repository/12.1/libraries/wxPython/

I just saw the update to 2.8.8.0 and tried updating the script for it, but it
wouldn't build. Here's the error I get:

I took a closer look and thought this might be somehow related to
libgnomeprint. I checked whether wxPython configured with "--with-gnomeprint"
and it did. So I tried "--without-gnomeprint", as I didn't have libgnomeprint
installed. However, it wouldn't work either; same error.
Next thought was, maybe libgnomeprint is now a hard dependency, so I installed
libgnomeprint (2.18.0) and tried again. But I would still get the same error.

Can anyone help me please?

Grs,
Heinz

Try installing the dev files for libgnomeprintui too. The wxPython sources will be fixed shortly to not need it, but for now it is expecting that the wxGnomePrintDC class is available, and it is automatically disabled if not all of the support libs/devs are installed.

Hello,

Hello!

I am the maintainer of the wxPython build-script for Slackware, which is
available here: SlackBuilds.org - wxPython

Small request for the Slackware build. In the past I have noticed that it doesn't build wxWidgets with '--enable-graphics_ctx' which causes the GraphicsContext classes to be not available and raise a NotImplementedError when they are called from wxPython. In order to improve compatibility with the official release could you please add '--enable-graphics_ctx' to the configure step for the wxWidgets build scripts.

Thanks,

Cody Precord

Thanks. That did work.
Will there be a 2.8.8.1 release including the fix?

Grs,
Heinz

Small request for the Slackware build. In the past I have noticed that
it doesn't build wxWidgets with '--enable-graphics_ctx' which causes
the GraphicsContext classes to be not available and raise a
NotImplementedError when they are called from wxPython. In order to
improve compatibility with the official release could you please add
'--enable-graphics_ctx' to the configure step for the wxWidgets build
scripts.

Actually it's already in my local script for 2.8.8.0. I must have overlooked
it in the Documentation when searching for the right configure-options last
time.

Grs,
Heinz

It was going to be last weekend, but I didn't get a couple things finished that I wanted to do. On Monday my DSL died and it took until today to get it repaired. Now I need to figure out where I left off on the wxPython work and see what still needs done...
