21 | Note that static libraries are no longer supplied in these |
| 22 | packages. Please read, or have understood: | |
| 23 | http://people.redhat.com/drepper/no_static_linking.html | |
| 24 | among others before reporting this as a bug. | |
| 25 | ||
| e1293dcf | 26 | The following binaries can be built from the source package |
| 4fb788e4 RL |
27 | with the mingw32 cross compiler, but are not currently |
| 28 | distributed by Debian. If you feel that should change, | |
| 337afe57 | 29 | please file a bug against the wxwidgets2.6 package, or |
| 4fb788e4 RL |
30 | append your views to a report already there if you're not |
| 31 | the first to do so. | |
| 32 | ||
| 33 | [ you can check the current state of affairs at: | |
| 337afe57 | 34 | http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=wxwidgets2.6 ] |

35 | |
| 36 | Oh and, please do *not* file bug reports for these packages | |
| b8723d93 | 37 | to the Debian bts. But do feel free to email me personally |
| 4fb788e4 RL |
38 | if you find problems and/or have patches to fix them. |
| 39 | ||
| 40 | libwxmsw-dev mingw32-cross wxMSW libs. | |
| 41 | libwxmsw-dbg mingw32-cross wxMSW (debug) libs. | |
| e1293dcf | 42 | wx-headers-msw extra headers needed for wxMSW. |
| 4fb788e4 | 43 | |

44 | You can build these extra packages using the binary-cross target |
| 45 | in debian/rules. | |
| 46 | ||
| 47 | ||
| 48 | It is also possible to build a libwxgtk-dbg-python package. | |
| 49 | There are some limitations (like this package cannot be installed | |
| 50 | concurrently with the release version), but some developers may | |
| 51 | find such a thing useful in any case. It will transparently | |
| 52 | replace the release package for installed apps that depend on the | |
| 53 | release package, but should NEVER be used when preparing packages | |
| 54 | for upload. This package may be created from the source using the | |
| 55 | binary-dbg-py target in debian/rules. (note that doing this will | |
| 56 | also destroy any release build that exists in the same tree, they | |
| 57 | cannot coexist there either yet) | |
| 58 | ||
| 59 | ||
| 60 | Finally, because all of these packages can take quite some time to | |
| 61 | build, the source package supports the use of distcc. The package | |
| 62 | builds will automatically parallelise to suit the number of hosts | |
| 63 | you have listed in DISTCC_HOSTS. This will work for both native | |
| 64 | and cross builds of the c++ libraries, if you have the relevant | |
| 65 | compilers on all your build hosts. wxPython builds cannot be | |
| 66 | parallelised at this stage and will run serially regardless of | |
| 67 | your configuration. | |
