wxbase28uh.lib ?!?

Hi,

i try to build and install wxPython-2.8.8.0 from source on MS Win32.

I used the descriptions in the build instructions and some mails
from this list.

First i configured on compiled wxWidgets by copying setup0.h to
setup.h and applying the changes described in
wxPython\distrib\all\functions.inc.

I then compiled wxWidgets:

set WXDIR=c:\tmp\wx\wxPython-src-2.8.8.0
set WXWIN=%WXDIR%
set PATH=%WXDIR%\lib\vc_dll;%PATH%
cd %WXDIR%\build\msw

nmake -f makefile.vc OFFICIAL_BUILD=1 SHARED=1 MONOLITHIC=0
USE_OPENGL=1 USE_GDIPLUS=1

I got several libraries now in C:\tmp\wx\wxPython-src-2.8.8.0\lib\vc_dll:

01.07.2008 23:52 <DIR> .
01.07.2008 23:52 <DIR> ..
01.07.2008 22:44 <DIR> mswd
01.07.2008 22:42 1.240.933 wxbase28d.exp
01.07.2008 22:42 2.084.278 wxbase28d.lib
.....

After that i tried wxPython, in wxPython:

C:\tmp\wx\wxPython-src-2.8.8.0\wxPython>python setup.py build_ext --inplace
MONOLITHIC=0 UNICODE=1

Preparing GLCANVAS...

And that is correct, there is no wxbase28uh.lib on my system. The libs
that were created are wxbase28d.lib and so on.

Did i use incorrect options to configure wxPython?

What do i need to do/change to compile wxPython?

Thanks for any hints,
Torsten.

The letters after the version number in the library names are significant and reflect the major build options. "d" == ansi,debug and "uh" == unicode,hybrid (where "hybrid" is a build mode of my own invention where it uses optimization flags and no debug info like a release build, but turns on the __WXDEBUG__ define like a debug build.)

So you need to decide what kind of build you want. To use your existing wxWidgets build you'll need to add "UNICODE=0 --debug" to the setup.py command line. If you want something else then you'll need to adjust the flags used for the wxWidgets build.

Thanks a lot for that hint, i'll try to go for "uh".
