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. | |

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. |

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. | |
