28 Note that static libraries are no longer supplied in these
29 packages. Please read, or have understood:

31 among others before reporting this as a bug.

35 as a part of the main Debian distribution.

37 Please do *not* file bug reports for these packages to the
38 Debian bts. But do feel free to email me personally if you
39 find problems and/or have patches to fix them.

45 You can build these extra packages using the binary-cross target
46 in debian/rules.

48
6de5430b 49 It is also possible to build a python-wxgtk-dbg package.

50 There are some limitations (like this package cannot be installed
51 concurrently with the release version), but some developers may
52 find such a thing useful in any case. It will transparently
53 replace the release package for installed apps that depend on the
54 release package, but should NEVER be used when preparing packages
55 for upload. This package may be created from the source using the
56 binary-dbg-py target in debian/rules. (note that doing this will
57 also destroy any release build that exists in the same tree, they
58 cannot coexist there either yet)

61 Finally, because all of these packages can take quite some time to
62 build, the source package supports the use of distcc. The package
63 builds will automatically parallelise to suit the number of hosts
64 you have listed in DISTCC_HOSTS. This will work for both native
65 and cross builds of the c++ libraries, if you have the relevant
6de5430b
RD
66 compilers on all your build hosts.
67 You may override that heuristic by setting the CONCURRENCY_LEVEL
68 environment variable to the number of jobs you wish make to fork.
69 That variable is also supported by the kernel-package scripts and
70 is respected for consistency here.
71
72 wxPython builds cannot be parallelised at this stage and will run
73 serially regardless of your configuration.
