a) Do a fresh checkout using the command
- cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.wxwidgets.org:/packs/cvsroots/wxwidgets co wxGTK
+ cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@cvs.wxwidgets.org:/packs/cvsroots/wxwidgets co wxGTK
NB: if you realize later that some needed files were not checked out
by this command, please modify CVSROOT/modules to include the missing
You also need the samples, demos and contrib directories, so change to
wxWidgets directory created by the first cvs command and do "cvs up -d"
- for each of them.
+ for each of them. Of course, you can also check out everything (use
+ wxWidgets module name instead of wxGTK) if the bandwidth and disk space
+ are not a problem.
b) Create a build directory under wxWidgets, e.g. I use "gtk-release",
"cd" to it and run configure: the options don't really matter, you can use
something like
- ../configure --no-recursion
+ ../configure -C --without-subdirs
to make it run a bit faster.
you'll have to restart from the very beginning because rpm doesn't allow
to short circuit the package generation).
- If everything goes well, the following files are produced:
-
- SRPMS/wxGTK-${version}-1.src.rpm
- RPMS/i386/wxGTK-${version}-1.i386.rpm
- RPMS/i386/wxGTK-devel-${version}-1.i386.rpm
- RPMS/i386/wxGTK-gl-${version}-1.i386.rpm
- RPMS/i386/wxGTK-static-${version}-1.i386.rpm
+ If everything goes well, this should produce many files in SRPMS and
+ RPMS/i386 subdirectories.
Use "rpm -ba --with gtk2" to build GTK+2 version of wxGTK and use
- "rpm -ba --with gtk2 --with unicode" to build GTK+2 Unicode build.
+ "rpm -ba --with gtk2 --with unicode" to build GTK+2 Unicode build
+ (these are defaults, you can use --without option to change this).
Note: you may want to set the environment variable SMP to 3 or 4 on an
SMP machine to speed up the build (it uses "make -j$SMP" if the
