Dear wxPython people,
I am currently trying to incorporate some scripting language
into a large wxWidgets (not wxPython) program. My first attempts
were successful, I have integrated some sort of python interpreter
and was able to call basic functions of the program using
boost::python modules. However, it was not possible to access
wxWidgets features, e.g., opening a dialog etc.
I have seen an example of this in wxPython/samples/embedded, and
it seems to me that this is what I am looking for. Unfortunately,
my program is written in MinGW/C++ and it is not possible to compile
python/wxPython directly from MinGW.
Recently, a python patch for MinGW has been published:
http://jove.prohosting.com/iwave/ipython/pyMinGW.html
1. I had success compiling python using this patch. Worked out
of the box. [some python extensions did not work things like
bsddb, but I didn't need them...]
2. I had success compiling boost::python using the pyMinGW
version of python. [smaller problems with bjam.exe, a strange
"make" replacement which the boost::people are using. I solved
the issue using a binary.]
3. Finally, I was successful compiling wxPython using the pyMinGW
version of python. wxWidgets had to be compiled with 2.4 compatibility
enabled, and a few things had to be changed in config.py.
4. However, I was unable to launch the wxPython demo, the program crashes
at startup. I tracked it down: It seems that dllInit does not get called
the moment the wxPython module is loaded. As a consequence, a function
called wxSetHandle [I forgot the exact name] is not called.
5. Ironically, the "embedded" example worked. dllInit is not necessary
here, because the wxWidgets dll is initialized before in a wxWidgets
program which embeds wxPython.
Question: Is anyone interested in a MinGW patch for wxPython? I am willing
to share my experience. Issue 4 should be solved, though. Any help would
be greatly appreciated. Those who can help me are invited to contact me
personally, matthias.xgondan@psychologie.uni-regensburg.de [please remove
the x before gondan]
Best wishes,
Matthias Gondan
