rerun the script without having to remember the options I used
before::
- mkdir bld
- cd bld
- ../configure --prefix=/opt/wx/2.5 \
- --with-gtk \
- --with-opengl \
- --disable-monolithic \
- --enable-debug \
- --enable-geometry \
- --enable-sound \
- --enable-display \
-
+ mkdir bld
+ cd bld
+ ../configure --prefix=/opt/wx/2.5 \
+ --with-gtk \
+ --with-opengl \
+ --disable-monolithic \
+ --enable-debug \
+ --enable-geometry \
+ --enable-sound --with-sdl \
+ --enable-display \
+
On OS X of course you'll want to use --with-mac instead of
--with-gtk. For GTK2 and unicode add::
-
- --enable-gtk2 \
- --enable-unicode \
+
+ --enable-gtk2 \
+ --enable-unicode \
Notice that I used a prefix of /opt/wx/2.5. You can use whatever
path you want, such as a path in your HOME dir or even one of the
the execute bit on .make first!::
.make
- .make install
+ .make install
When it's done you should have an installed set of files under
/opt/wx/2.5 containing just wxWidgets. Now to use this version of
run the this command::
cd wxPython
- python2.3 setup.py build_ext --inplace --debug
+ python2.3 setup.py build_ext --inplace --debug
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::
- WX_CONFIG=/opt/wx/2.5/bin/wx-config
+ WX_CONFIG=/opt/wx/2.5/bin/wx-config
If you are building with GTK2 then add the following flags to the
command line::
- WXPORT=gtk2 UNICODE=1
+ WXPORT=gtk2 UNICODE=1
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
where to find the new swig executable, so add these flags::
- USE_SWIG=1 SWIG=/opt/swig/bin/swig
+ USE_SWIG=1 SWIG=/opt/swig/bin/swig
If you get errors about wxGLCanvas or being unable to find libGLU
or something like that then you can add BUILD_GLCANVAS=0 to the
PYTHONPATH to the wxPython dir in the CVS tree. For example::
export LD_LIBRARY=/opt/wx/2.5/lib
- export PYTHONPATH=/myprojects/wxWidgets/wxPython
- cd /myprojects/wxWidgets/wxPython/demo
- python2.3 demo.py
+ export PYTHONPATH=/myprojects/wxWidgets/wxPython
+ cd /myprojects/wxWidgets/wxPython/demo
+ python2.3 demo.py
OS X NOTE: You need to use "pythonw" on the command line to run
wxPython applications. This version of the Python executable is
1. Set an environment variable to the root of the wxWidgets source
tree::
- set WXWIN=e:\projects\wxWidgets
+ set WXWIN=e:\projects\wxWidgets
2. Copy setup0.h to setup.h
- cd %WXWIN%\include\wx\msw
- copy setup0.h setup.h
+ cd %WXWIN%\include\wx\msw
+ copy setup0.h setup.h
3. Edit %WXWIN%\include\wx\msw\setup.h and change a few settings.
of build (debug/hybrid, unicode/ansi). I change a few of the other
defaults to have these values::
- wxDIALOG_UNIT_COMPATIBILITY 0
- wxUSE_DEBUG_CONTEXT 1
- wxUSE_MEMORY_TRACING 1
- wxUSE_DIALUP_MANAGER 0
- wxUSE_GLCANVAS 1
- wxUSE_POSTSCRIPT 1
- wxUSE_AFM_FOR_POSTSCRIPT 0
-

-4. Make a %WXWIN%\BIN directory and add it to the PATH. My build
- scripts will copy the wxWidgets DLLs there.
+4. Make sure that %WXWIN%\lib\vc_dll directory is on the PATH. The
+ wxWidgets DLLs will end up there as part of the build and so you'll
+ need it on the PATH for them to be found at runtime.
5. Change to the %WXWIN%\build\msw directory and copy my build scripts
command-line parameter which controls what kind of build(s) to do.
Use one of the following::
- debug Build debug version
- hybrid Build hybrid version
- both Both debug and hybrid
- debug-uni Build a debug unicode library
- hybrid-uni Hybrid unicode (see the pattern yet? ;-)
- both-uni and finally both unicode libraries
+ debug Build debug version
+ hybrid Build hybrid version
+ both Both debug and hybrid
+ debug-uni Build a debug unicode library
+ hybrid-uni Hybrid unicode (see the pattern yet? ;-)
+ both-uni and finally both unicode libraries
For example::
build for (if you have more than one on your system)::
cd %WXWIN%\wxPython
- python setup.py build_ext --inplace
+ python setup.py build_ext --inplace
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
where to find the new swig executable, so add these flags::
- USE_SWIG=1 SWIG=e:\projects\SWIG-cvs\swig.exe
+ USE_SWIG=1 SWIG=e:\projects\SWIG-cvs\swig.exe
If you built a Unicode version of wxWidgets and want to also build
the Unicode version of wxPython then add this flag::
9. To run code with the development verison of wxPython, just set the
PYTHONPATH to the wxPython dir in the CVS tree. For example::
- set PYTHONPATH=e:\projects\wxWidgets\wxPython
- cd e:\projects\wxWidgets\wxPython
- python demo.py
+ set PYTHONPATH=e:\projects\wxWidgets\wxPython
+ cd e:\projects\wxWidgets\wxPython
+ python demo.py
