<p>This file describes how I build wxWidgets and wxPython while doing
development and testing, and is meant to help other people that want
to do the same thing. I'll assume that you are using either a CVS
snapshot from <a class="reference" href="http://wxWidgets.org/snapshots/">http://wxWidgets.org/snapshots/</a>, a checkout from CVS, or
-one of the released wxPython-src-2.6.* tarballs. I'll also assume that
+one of the released wxPython-src-2.7.* tarballs. I'll also assume that
you know your way around your system, the compiler, etc. and most
importantly, that you know what you are doing! ;-)</p>
<p>If you want to also install the version of wxPython you build to be in
will end up with a separate installation of wxPython and you can
switch back and forth between this and the release version that you
may already have installed.</p>

-plus some patches. Get the sources for version 1.3.24, and then apply

the patches in wxPython/SWIG and then build SWIG like normal. See the
README.txt in the wxPython/SWIG dir for details about each patch and
also info about those that may already have been applied to the SWIG
sources. If you install this build of SWIG to a location that is not
on the PATH (so it doesn't interfere with an existing SWIG install for
-example) then you can set a setup.py command-line variable named SWIG
-to be the full path name of the executable and the wxPython build will

+set to the full path name of the executable and the wxPython build will
use it. See below for an example.</p>
<p>In the text below I'll use WXDIR with environment variable syntax
(either $WXDIR or %WXDIR%) to refer to the top level directory where
the APIs are allowed to change) there are often significant
differences between the W.X.Y release of wxWidgets and the W.X.Y.Z
release of wxPython.</p>

<p>These platforms are built almost the same way while in development
so I'll combine the descriptions about their build process here.

+like, but using /opt this way lets me easily have multiple versions

+between them, without impacting any versions of wxWidgets that may
+have been installed via an RPM or whatever. For the rest of the
+steps below be sure to also substitute "/opt/wx/2.7" with whatever
+prefix you choose for your build.</p>
<p><strong>NOTE</strong>: Due to a recent change there is currently a dependency
problem in the multilib builds of wxWidgets on OSX, so I have
switched to using a monolithic build. That means that all of the

<p>To make the wxWidgets build be unicode enabled (strongly

<p>So you just use .make as if it where make, but don't forget to set
the execute bit on .make first!:</p>
.make install

<p>When it's done you should have an installed set of files under
-/opt/wx/2.6 containing just wxWidgets. Now to use this version of

</li>
<li><p class="first">I also have a script to help me build wxPython and it is checked in
to the CVS as wxWidgets/wxPython/b, but you probably don't want to
use it as it's very cryptic and expects that you want to run SWIG,

+you'll probably get stuck. So in this document I'll just give the

<p>We're not going to install the development version of wxPython with
these commands, so it won't impact your already installed version
of the latest release. You'll be able test with this version when
<p>If you have more than one version of Python on your system then be
sure to use the version of Python that you want to use when running
wxPython programs to run the setup.py commands below. I'll be
-using python2.3.</p>
-<p>Make sure that the first wx-config found on the PATH is the one you

cd $WXDIR/wxPython
-python2.3 setup.py build_ext --inplace --debug
+python2.5 setup.py build_ext --inplace --debug

<p>If your new wx-config script is not on the PATH, or there is some
other version of it found first, then you can add this to the
command line to ensure your new one is used instead:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
-WX_CONFIG=/opt/wx/2.6/bin/wx-config
+WX_CONFIG=/opt/wx/2.7/bin/wx-config
</pre>
<p>By default setup.py will assume that you built wxWidgets to use
GTK2. If you built wxWidgets to use GTK 1.2.x then you should add
this flag to the command-line:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
-WXPORT=gtk
+WXPORT=gtk
</pre>
-<p>If you would like to do a Unicode enabled build (all strings sent
-to or retruned from wx functions are Unicode objects) and your
-wxWidgets was built with unicode enabled then add this flag:</p>
+<p>Setup.py will assume by default that you are using a unicode build
+of wxWidgets. If not then you can use this flag:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
-UNICODE=1
+UNICODE=0
</pre>
<p>If you are wanting to have the source files regenerated with swig,
+(only neccessary if you make modifications to the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">*.i</span></tt> files,)
then you need to turn on the USE_SWIG flag and optionally tell it
where to find the new swig executable, so add these flags:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
being undeclared, or something similar then you can add
BUILD_GLCANVAS=0 to the setup.py command line to disable the
building of the glcanvas module.</p>
-<p>When the setup.py command is done you should have fully populated
-wxPython and wx packages locally in $WXDIR/wxPython/wxPython and
-$WXDIR/wxPython/wx, with all the extension modules (<tt class="literal"><span class="pre">*.so</span></tt> files)
-located in the wx package.</p>

</li>
<li><p class="first">To run code with the development version of wxPython, just set the
PYTHONPATH to the wxPython dir located in the source tree. For
example:</p>

-wxPython applications. This version of the Python executable is
-part of the Python Framework and is allowed to interact with the
-display. You can also double click on a .py or a .pyw file from
-the finder (assuming that the PythonLauncher app is associated with
-these file extensions) and it will launch the Framework version of
-Python for you. For information about creating Applicaiton Bundles
-of your wxPython apps please see the wiki and the mail lists.</p>

<p>SOLARIS NOTE: If you get unresolved symbol errors when importing

you may be able to work around the problem by uncommenting a bit of
-code in setup.py and building again. Look for 'SunOS' in setup.py
+code in config.py and building again. Look for 'SunOS' in config.py
and uncomment the block containing it. The problem is that Sun's ld
does not automatically add libgcc to the link step.</p>

<p>The Windows builds currently require the use of Microsoft Visual C++.
Theoretically, other compilers (such as mingw32 or the Borland
compilers) can also be used but I've never done the work to make that
happen. If you want to try that then first you'll want to find out if
there are any tricks that have to be done to make Python extension
modules using that compiler, and then make a few changes to setup.py
-to accommodate that. (And send the patches to me.) If you plan on
-using VisualStudio.Net (a.k.a. MSVC 7.1) keep in mind that you'll also
-have to build Python and any other extension modules that you use with
-that compiler because a different version of the C runtime library is
-used. The Python executable that comes from PythonLabs and the
-wxPython extensions that I distribute are built with MSVC 6 with all
-the Service Packs applied. This policy will change with Python 2.4
-and MSVC 7.1 will be used starting with that version.</p>
+to accommodate that. (And send the patches to me.)</p>
+<p>The standard Python 2.3 and earlier are built with MS Visual C 6.0 and
+so you must also build with MSVC 6 in order to be used with the stock
+python.exe. If you woudl rather use a different version of
+VisualStudio keep in mind that you'll also have to build Python and
+any other extension modules that you use with that compiler because a
+different version of the C runtime library is used. The stock Python
+2.4 and 2.5 executables are built with MSVC 7.1, and the same rules
+apply to it.</p>
<p>If you want to build a debuggable version of wxWidgets and wxPython you
will need to have also built a debug version of Python and any other
extension modules you need to use. You can tell if you have them
already if there is a _d in the file names, for example python_d.exe
-or python23_d.dll. If you don't need to trace through the C/C++ parts
+or python25_d.dll. If you don't need to trace through the C/C++ parts
of the code with the debugger then building the normal (or hybrid)
version is fine, and you can use the regular python executables with
it.</p>

<li><p class="first">When that is all done it will have built the main wxWidgets DLLs
and also some of the contribs DLLs. There should be a ton of DLLs
the MONOLITHIC flag with how you built wxWidgets:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
cd %WXDIR%\wxPython
-python setup.py build_ext --inplace MONOLITHIC=1
+python setup.py build_ext --inplace MONOLITHIC=0
</pre>
<p>If you are wanting to have the source files regenerated with swig,
+(only neccessary if you make modifications to the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">*.i</span></tt> files,)
then you need to turn on the USE_SWIG flag and optionally tell it
where to find the new swig executable, so add these flags:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
-USE_SWIG=1 SWIG=e:\projects\SWIG-cvs\swig.exe
+USE_SWIG=1 SWIG=e:\\projects\\SWIG-1.2.29\\swig.exe
</pre>
<p>If you built a Unicode version of wxWidgets and want to also build
the Unicode version of wxPython then add this flag:</p>
</pre>
<p>If you have a debug version of Python and wxWidgets and want to
build a debug version of wxPython too, add the --debug flag to the
-command line. You should then end up with a set of <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">*_d.pyd</span></tt>
-files in the wx package and you'll have to run <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">python_d.exe</span></tt> to
+command line. You should then end up with a set of <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">*_d.pyd</span></tt>
+files in the wx package and you'll have to run <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">python_d.exe</span></tt> to
use them. The debug and hybrid(release) versions can coexist.</p>
<p>When the setup.py command is done you should have fully populated
wxPython and wx packages locally in %WXDIR%/wxPython/wxPython and
-%WXDIR%/wxPython/wx, with all the extension modules (<tt class="literal"><span class="pre">*.pyd</span></tt>
+%WXDIR%/wxPython/wx, with all the extension modules (<tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">*.pyd</span></tt>
files) located in the wx package.</p>
