Hi. I’m trying to install WxPython on my windows laptop using pip on cygwin. The issue im encountering was mentioned in the topic thread mentioned in the subject line (" issue installing 4.04 on OpenSuse 15"). However, user johnf mentioned that he solved the problem " by following Ed Leafe’s email on the list" but did not specify what that was. Can someone help me find that solution. To clarify, the issue is that when i run “pip3 install wxPython”, i receive the following:
checking for GST… configure: WARNING: GStreamer 1.0 not available, falling back to 0.10
checking for GST… configure: WARNING: GStreamer 0.10 not available, falling back to 0.8
configure: WARNING: wxMediaCtrl can’t be built because GStreamer not available
configure: error: wxMediaCtrl was explicitly requested but can’t be built.
Fix the problems reported above or don’t use --enable-mediactrl configure option.
However, i am certain that i have gstreamer 1.0 installed

Do you also have the gstreamer development package installed?
BTW, wxPython is seldomly built for cygwin, so there are likely issues that will need fixing to get it to complete.

The link is just showing the change that is part of the branch I am currently working on. If you want to try it out then I suggest that you extract everything from the 4.0.4 tarball, and then make the same changes in that source tree.
Then you can do the build directly from the source tree instead of using pip. Since you’ll likely need to make other changes to make things work for a cygwin-specific build then building this way will likely make it a little simpler to iterate through trying new changes and retrying the build again. The following can be done all at once, but doing them as separate commands may help you narrow down the source of any issues you run into:
python build.py build_wx
python build.py build_py
python build.py bdist_wheel
If you can get through that then you have a wheel file in ./dist that you can install with pip.
Good Luck

I was making progress by slowly editing out requests for gstreamer and mediactrl. Ultimately I ended at an error that took me quite a bit and was advised to take a different approach to the project altogether
