The build documentation at:
http://www.wxpython.org/BUILD.html
could use a bit of a refresh. I realize that people are likely focussing all efforts on Phoenix, but I know it took me quite a while to get all these bits and bobs figured out.
The doc should include the set of dependencies needed, this seems to be:
apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev libgstreamer0.10-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev
though there are likely things such as build-essential required as well for a clean Ubuntu 12.04 build.
Also, tell the user how to install into a virtualenv. What I did, which doesn’t seem correct, but does seem to work is to active the venv, then:
python ./build-wxpython.py --install --prefix=/home/mcfletch/tmp/testinstall/
where the prefix is the full path to the venv, then:
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/tmp/testinstall/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
to use the resulting virtualenv-based installation. I’m sure there’s a better way to do that, but for now it lets me make RunSnakeRun 3.0.0 compatible and call it a day.
Thanks all,
Mike
