| ceec2216 RL |
6 | libwxgtk wxGTK runtime shared libraries, including selected |

| 12 | obsoletes the libwxgtk-python-contrib package as | |
| b8723d93 | 13 | all python modules are built into a single monolith) |
| 050207ec | 14 | |

| e1293dcf | 21 | The following binaries can be built from the source package |
| 4fb788e4 RL |
22 | with the mingw32 cross compiler, but are not currently |
| 23 | distributed by Debian. If you feel that should change, | |
| e1293dcf | 24 | please file a bug against the wxwidgets2.5 package, or |
| 4fb788e4 RL |
25 | append your views to a report already there if you're not |
| 26 | the first to do so. | |
| 27 | ||

| 31 | Oh and, please do *not* file bug reports for these packages | |
| b8723d93 | 32 | to the Debian bts. But do feel free to email me personally |
| 4fb788e4 RL |
33 | if you find problems and/or have patches to fix them. |
| 34 | ||
| 35 | libwxmsw-dev mingw32-cross wxMSW libs. | |
| 36 | libwxmsw-dbg mingw32-cross wxMSW (debug) libs. | |
| e1293dcf | 37 | wx-headers-msw extra headers needed for wxMSW. |
| 4fb788e4 | 38 | |

39 | You can build these extra packages using the binary-cross target |
| 40 | in debian/rules. | |
| 41 | ||
| 42 | ||
| 43 | It is also possible to build a libwxgtk-dbg-python package. | |
| 44 | There are some limitations (like this package cannot be installed | |
| 45 | concurrently with the release version), but some developers may | |
| 46 | find such a thing useful in any case. It will transparently | |
| 47 | replace the release package for installed apps that depend on the | |
| 48 | release package, but should NEVER be used when preparing packages | |
| 49 | for upload. This package may be created from the source using the | |
| 50 | binary-dbg-py target in debian/rules. (note that doing this will | |
| 51 | also destroy any release build that exists in the same tree, they | |
| 52 | cannot coexist there either yet) | |
| 53 | ||
| 54 | ||
| 55 | Finally, because all of these packages can take quite some time to | |
| 56 | build, the source package supports the use of distcc. The package | |
| 57 | builds will automatically parallelise to suit the number of hosts | |
| 58 | you have listed in DISTCC_HOSTS. This will work for both native | |
| 59 | and cross builds of the c++ libraries, if you have the relevant | |
| 60 | compilers on all your build hosts. wxPython builds cannot be | |
| 61 | parallelised at this stage and will run serially regardless of | |
| 62 | your configuration. | |
