+<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://wxwindows.org/snapshots/">http://wxwindows.org/snapshots/</a>, a checkout from CVS, or
-one of the released wxPythonSrc-2.5.* tarballs. I'll also assume that

+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
+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
your site-packages dir and be your default version of wxPython, then a
few additional steps are needed, and you may want to use slightly
-different options. See INSTALL.txt for more details. If you only use
-the instructions in this BUILD.txt file then you 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>
-<p>If you want to make changes to any of the <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">*.i</span></tt> files, (SWIG interface
-definition files,) or to regenerate the extension sources or renamer
-modules, then you will need an up to date version of SWIG. Either get
-and build the current CVS version, or version 1.3.20, and then apply
-the patches in wxPython/SWIG. See the README.txt in that 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 use it. See below for an
-example.</p>

+you only use the instructions in this <a class="reference" href="BUILD.html">BUILD</a> document file then you

+<p>If you want to make changes to any of the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">*.i</span></tt> files, (SWIG
+interface definition files,) or to regenerate the extension sources or
+renamer modules, then you will need an up to date version of SWIG,
+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
+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
+your wxWidgets and wxPython sources are located. It will equate to
+whereever you checked out the wxWidgets module from CVS, or untarred
+the wxPython-src tarball to. You can either substitute the $WXDIR text
+below with your actual dir, or set the value in the environment and
+use it just like you see it below.</p>
+<p>If you run into what appears to be compatibility issues between
+wxWidgets and wxPython while building wxPython, be sure you are using
+the wxWidgets sources included with the wxPython-src tarball or the
+CVS snapshot, and not a previously installed version or a version
+installed from one of the standard wxWidgets installers. With the
+"unstable" releases (have a odd-numbered minor release value, 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>

+<li><p class="first">Create a build directory in the main wxWidgets dir, and configure
+wxWidgets. If you want to have multiple builds with different
configure options, just use different subdirectories. I normally
put the configure command in a script named ".configure" in each
build dir so I can easily blow away everything in the build dir and
rerun the script without having to remember the options I used
before:</p>
<pre class="literal-block">
+cd $WXDIR
mkdir bld
cd bld
-../configure --prefix=/opt/wx/2.5 \
+../configure --prefix=/opt/wx/2.6 \
--with-gtk \
+ --with-gnomeprint \
--with-opengl \
- --disable-monolithic \
--enable-debug \
--enable-geometry \
+ --enable-sound --with-sdl \
+ --enable-display \
+ --disable-debugreport \
</pre>
<p>On OS X of course you'll want to use --with-mac instead of
---with-gtk. For GTK2 and unicode add:</p>
-<blockquote>
-<p>--enable-gtk2 --enable-unicode </p>
-</blockquote>
-<p>Notice that I used a prefix of /opt/wx/2.5. You can use whatever
+--with-gtk and --with-gnomeprint.</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
+core wxWidgets code is placed in in one shared library instead of
+several. wxPython can be used with either mode, so use whatever
+suits you on Linux and etc. but use monolithic on OSX. To switch
+to the monolithic build of wxWidgets just add this configure flag:</p>
+<pre class="literal-block">
+--enable-monolithic \
+</pre>
+<p>By default GTK 2.x will be used for the build. If you would rather
+use GTK 1.2.x for some reason then you can force configure to use
+it by changing the --with-gtk flag to specify it like this:</p>
+<pre class="literal-block">
+--with-gtk=1 \
+</pre>
+<p>To make the wxWidgets build be unicode enabled (strongly
+recommended if you are building with GTK2) then add the following.
+When wxPython is unicode enabled then all strings that are passed
+to wx functions and methods will first be converted to unicode
+objects, and any 'strings' returned from wx functions and methods
+will actually be unicode objects.:</p>
+<pre class="literal-block">
+--enable-unicode \
+</pre>
+<p>Notice that I used a prefix of /opt/wx/2.6. You can use whatever
path you want, such as a path in your HOME dir or even one of the
standard prefix paths such as /usr or /usr/local if you like, but
using /opt this way lets me easily have multiple versions and ports

<p>If you want to use the image and zlib libraries included with

example, to reduce dependencies on 3rd party libraries) then you
can add these flags to the configure command:</p>

all for me so I don't forget anything. This time it is called
-".make" (I use the leading ". so when I do <tt class="literal"><span class="pre">rm</span> <span class="pre">-r</span> <span class="pre">*</span></tt> in my build

<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/2.5 containing just wxWindows. Now to use this version of
-wxWindows you just need to add /opt/wx/2.5/bin to the PATH and set

<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

<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>

+<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>

-WXPORT=gtk2 UNICODE=1
+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>
+<pre class="literal-block">
+UNICODE=1
</pre>
<p>If you are wanting to have the source files regenerated with swig,
then you need to turn on the USE_SWIG flag and optionally tell it
<pre class="literal-block">
USE_SWIG=1 SWIG=/opt/swig/bin/swig

<p>OS X NOTE: You need to use "pythonw" on the command line to run

<p>SOLARIS NOTE: If you get unresolved symbol errors when importing
wxPython and you are running on Solaris and building with gcc, then
you may be able to work around the problem by uncommenting a bit of

there are any tricks that have to be done to make Python extension

+<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
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>
+<p>Starting with 2.5.3.0 wxPython can be built for either the monlithic
+or the multi-lib wxWidgets builds. (Monolithic means that all the
+core wxWidgets code is in one DLL, and multi-lib means that the core
+code is divided into multiple DLLs.) To select which one to use
+specify the MONOLITHIC flag for both the wxWidgets build and the
+wxPython build as shown below, setting it to either 0 or 1.</p>
<p>Just like the unix versions I also use some scripts to help me build
-wxWindows, but I use some non-standard stuff to do it. So if you want
-to use them too you'll need to get a copy or 4DOS or 4NT from
-<a class="reference" href="http://www.jpsoft.com/">http://www.jpsoft.com/</a> and also a copy of unix-like cat and sed
-programs. You can also do by hand what my scripts are doing, but
-there are a lof steps involved and I won't be going into details
-here. There is a copy of my build scripts in wxWindowswxPythondistribmsw</p>
+wxWidgets, but I use some non-standard stuff to do it. So if you have
+bash (cygwin or probably MSYS too) or 4NT plus unix-like cat and sed
+programs then there is a copy of my wxWidgets build scripts in
+%WXDIR%\wxPython\distrib\msw. Just copy them to
+%WXDIR%\build\msw and you can use them to do your build, otherwise
+you can do everything by hand as described below. But if you do work
+by hand and something doesn't seem to be working correctly please
+refer to the build scripts to see what may need to be done
+differently.</p>
