   1 wxwidgets for Debian
   2 ----------------------
   3
   4 The following packages are built from the wxWidgets CVS source.
   5
   6 libwxgtk                wxGTK runtime shared libraries
   7 libwxgtk-dev            extra files and static libs for building wxGTK apps
   8 libwxgtk-dbg            wxGTK libraries built with -g and __WXDEBUG__
   9
  10 libwxgtk-python         Python binding to wxGTK  (from 2.2.3 onward, this
  11                         obsoletes the libwxgtk-python-contrib package as
  12                         all python modules are built into a single monolith)
  13
  14 libwxgtk-contrib        wxWin contrib runtime shared libs (built with wxGTK)
  15 libwxgtk-contrib-dev    extra files and static contrib libs for building apps
  16
  17 wx-headers              common header files for building wxWidgets apps
  18 wx-doc                  HTML version of the wxWidgets manual
  19 wx-examples             wxWidgets and wxPython demos and samples (source)
  20 wx-i18n                 message catalogs for native language support
  21
  22
  23         The following binaries can be built from the source package
  24         with the mingw32 cross compiler, but are not currently
  25         distributed by Debian.  If you feel that should change,
  26         please file a bug against the wxwidgets2.5 package, or
  27         append your views to a report already there if you're not
  28         the first to do so.
  29
  30         [ you can check the current state of affairs at:
  31           http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=wxwidgets2.5 ]
  32
  33         Oh and, please do *not* file bug reports for these packages
  34         to the Debian bts.  But do feel free to email me personally
  35         if you find problems and/or have patches to fix them.
  36
  37 libwxmsw-dev            mingw32-cross wxMSW libs.
  38 libwxmsw-dbg            mingw32-cross wxMSW (debug) libs.
  39 wx-headers-msw          extra headers needed for wxMSW.
  40
  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.
