e1293dcf | 23 | The following binaries can be built from the source package |
4fb788e4 RL |
24 | with the mingw32 cross compiler, but are not currently |
25 | distributed by Debian. If you feel that should change, | |
e1293dcf | 26 | please file a bug against the wxwidgets2.5 package, or |
4fb788e4 RL |
27 | append your views to a report already there if you're not |
28 | the first to do so. | |

33 | Oh and, please do *not* file bug reports for these packages | |
b8723d93 | 34 | to the Debian bts. But do feel free to email me personally |
4fb788e4 RL |
35 | if you find problems and/or have patches to fix them. |

37 | libwxmsw-dev mingw32-cross wxMSW libs. | |
38 | libwxmsw-dbg mingw32-cross wxMSW (debug) libs. | |
e1293dcf | 39 | wx-headers-msw extra headers needed for wxMSW. |

41 | You can build these extra packages using the binary-cross target |
42 | in debian/rules. | |
43 | ||
44 | ||
45 | It is also possible to build a libwxgtk-dbg-python package. | |
46 | There are some limitations (like this package cannot be installed | |
47 | concurrently with the release version), but some developers may | |
48 | find such a thing useful in any case. It will transparently | |
49 | replace the release package for installed apps that depend on the | |
50 | release package, but should NEVER be used when preparing packages | |
51 | for upload. This package may be created from the source using the | |
52 | binary-dbg-py target in debian/rules. (note that doing this will | |
53 | also destroy any release build that exists in the same tree, they | |
54 | cannot coexist there either yet) | |
55 | ||
56 | ||
57 | Finally, because all of these packages can take quite some time to | |
58 | build, the source package supports the use of distcc. The package | |
59 | builds will automatically parallelise to suit the number of hosts | |
60 | you have listed in DISTCC_HOSTS. This will work for both native | |
61 | and cross builds of the c++ libraries, if you have the relevant | |
62 | compilers on all your build hosts. wxPython builds cannot be | |
63 | parallelised at this stage and will run serially regardless of | |
64 | your configuration. | |
