The following packages are built from the wxWidgets CVS source.
-libwxgtk wxGTK runtime shared libraries
-libwxgtk-dev extra files and static libs for building wxGTK apps
+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__
libwxgtk-python 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)
-libwxgtk-contrib wxWin contrib runtime shared libs (built with wxGTK)
-libwxgtk-contrib-dev extra files and static contrib libs for building apps
-
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 currently
distributed by Debian. If you feel that should change,
- please file a bug against the wxwidgets2.5 package, or
+ please file a bug against the wxwidgets2.6 package, or
append your views to a report already there if you're not
the first to do so.
[ you can check the current state of affairs at:
- http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=wxwidgets2.5 ]
+ http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=wxwidgets2.6 ]
Oh and, please do *not* file bug reports for these packages
to the Debian bts. But do feel free to email me personally
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 libwxgtk-dbg-python 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. wxPython builds cannot be
+ parallelised at this stage and will run serially regardless of
+ your configuration.
