-wxwindows for Debian
+wxwidgets for Debian
----------------------
-The following packages are built from the wxWindows CVS source.
+The following packages are built from the wxWidgets CVS source.
-libwxgtk wxGTK shared library
-libwxgtk-dev Headers and static lib for building wxGTK apps
-libwxgtk-python Python binding to wxGTK
-wxwin-doc HTML version of the wxWindows manual
-wxwin-examples wxWindows and wxPython demos and samples (source)
+libwxbase wxBase runtime shared libraries
+libwxbase-dev extra files and static libs for building wxBase apps
+libwxbase-dbg wxBase libraries built with -g and __WXDEBUG__
+
+libwxgtk wxGTK runtime shared libraries, including selected
+ contrib libs.
+libwxgtk-dev extra files required for building wxGTK apps
+libwxgtk-dbg wxGTK libraries built with -g and __WXDEBUG__
+
+python-wxgtk Python binding to wxGTK (from 2.2.3 onward, this
+ obsoletes the libwxgtk-python-contrib package as
+ all python modules are built into a single monolith)
+python-wxversion The wxversion.py version selector, new to wxPython2.6
+python-wxtools The ancillary tools from the wxPython distribution.
+
+wx-common common helper files and support applications.
+wx-headers common header files for building wxWidgets apps
+wx-doc HTML version of the wxWidgets manual
+wx-examples wxWidgets and wxPython demos and samples (source)
+wx-i18n message catalogs for native language support
+
+
+ Note that static libraries are no longer supplied in these
+ packages. Please read, or have understood:
+ http://people.redhat.com/drepper/no_static_linking.html
+ among others before reporting this as a bug.
+
+ The following binaries can be built from the source package
+ with the mingw32 cross compiler, but are not distributed
+ as a part of the main Debian distribution.
+
+ Please do *not* file bug reports for these packages to the
+ Debian bts. But do feel free to email me personally if you
+ find problems and/or have patches to fix them.
+
+libwxmsw-dev mingw32-cross wxMSW libs.
+libwxmsw-dbg mingw32-cross wxMSW (debug) libs.
+wx-headers-msw extra headers needed for wxMSW.
+
+ You can build these extra packages using the binary-cross target
+ in debian/rules.
+
+
+ It is also possible to build a python-wxgtk-dbg package.
+ There are some limitations (like this package cannot be installed
+ concurrently with the release version), but some developers may
+ find such a thing useful in any case. It will transparently
+ replace the release package for installed apps that depend on the
+ release package, but should NEVER be used when preparing packages
+ for upload. This package may be created from the source using the
+ binary-dbg-py target in debian/rules. (note that doing this will
+ also destroy any release build that exists in the same tree, they
+ cannot coexist there either yet)
+
+
+ Finally, because all of these packages can take quite some time to
+ build, the source package supports the use of distcc. The package
+ builds will automatically parallelise to suit the number of hosts
+ you have listed in DISTCC_HOSTS. This will work for both native
+ and cross builds of the c++ libraries, if you have the relevant
+ compilers on all your build hosts.
+ You may override that heuristic by setting the CONCURRENCY_LEVEL
+ environment variable to the number of jobs you wish make to fork.
+ That variable is also supported by the kernel-package scripts and
+ is respected for consistency here.
+
+ wxPython builds cannot be parallelised at this stage and will run
+ serially regardless of your configuration.
