Where are dev builds for Windows and Linux?

1

Buildbot used to build for macOs, Windows and Linux, but I can only see recent builds for macOS in buildbot and the snapshots folder.

Where have Windows and Linux builds gone?

2

They haven’t gone anywhere, it’s likely that the builders for Linux and Windows have failed for some reason. Paging @Robin to please investigate and fix.

Sure, but previously they all showed up in buildbot and one could look at the log output to determine what has failed and why. Now, there isn’t even any mention of the Windows or Linux builders.
Hopefully, someone can attend to it and get it back.

Still looks like there are no builds for Windows and Linux.
Isn’t anyone interested in these “niche” platforms? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

A couple of issues have been raised about this on GitHub:

I don’t think there is anything that can be done until @Robin has some free time to investigate the problem.

I see its a common problem.
This is an unofficial pre release to get the speedmeter bug fix:
wxPython-4.2.2a1-cp311-cp311-linux_aarch64.whl

Here are the wheels for normal Linux with Python >3.09
wxPython-4.2.2a1-cp311-cp311-linux_x86_64.whl

I am not an expert. i hope it works.

I notice that wxPython-4.2.2a1 snapshot builds for Windows (in addition to macOS) have started appearing in https://wxpython.org/Phoenix/snapshot-builds/.

Yep, those are now being built by the GitHub Actions. :slight_smile:

When can we expect a wxPython-4.2.2 wheel for Linux distributions? Is anyone working on this?

@ZDabrowski, I’m assuming you’re referring to the distribution-specific ones normally hosted on extras.wxpython.org? If so, which Linux distribution(s) and version(s) are you interested in? That build process will have to be re-created and tested on GitHub infrastructure.

11

@swt2c,That’s true. I’m interested in: Ubuntu 20.04 and Ubuntu 22.04.

12

Copy that. I’ll prioritize those (and probably Ubuntu 24.04 too).

One further follow-up: for those folks interested in Linux distribution wheels - are you only interested in wheels for the default Python version for each distribution (e.g., Python 3.8 for Ubuntu 20.04), or are you needing wheels for a variety of Python versions for each distro?

14

I have managed to build and install 4.2.2 using pip, but it took 22 minutes on my oldest PC, so Linux distribution wheels would be great going forward.

Python 3.12 on Ubuntu 24.04 (for Mint 22) meets my current requirements.

For my purposes, I need a different Python versions for each distribution, as it was previously provided with wxPython-4.2.1 (3.8, 3.9, 3.10, 3.11). Thanks in advance!
