-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Prior to version 2.3.3 of wxPython I had always made my Linux/Unix
|
|
binaries based on the released binary of wxGTK and wxGTK-gl. This
|
|
imposed a few restrictions and so starting with 2.3.3 I have decided
|
|
to do a combined binary that inlcudes wxGTK as well as wxPython. This
|
|
allows me a bit more flexibility and is consistent with how the
|
|
Windows and Mac OS X binaries are built.
|
|
|
|
If you are reading this file then you are probably interested in
|
|
building your own copy of wxPython from the sources contained in this
|
|
archive. If you wish to use the released wxGTK binary as has been
|
|
done in the past then you can still follow the old build directions in
|
|
wxPython/BUILD.unix.txt. If you are building for Windows or Mac OS X
|
|
then you should look at wxPython/BUILD.win32.txt or
|
|
wxPython/BUILD.osx.txt respectivly. In all these cases you should use
|
|
the IN_CVS_TREE=1 flag since this archive is really just a modified
|
|
CVS snapshot.
|
|
|
|
If, on the other hand, you would like to build Linux/Unix binaries
|
|
with a private copy of wxGTK like what I am now distributing then
|
|
you'll want to follow the instructions in this file.
|
|
|
|
Clear as mud? Good. Let's get started.
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. We'll be making a private copy of wxGTK so it doesn't conflict with
|
|
one used by wxGTK C++ apps that expect to have the default binary
|
|
installed from RPM or whatever. I put it in /usr/lib/wxPython, but
|
|
you can use whatever you like. I'll just set a variable to our wx
|
|
prefix to reference later:
|
|
|
|
export WXPREF=/usr/lib/wxPython
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Make a build directory and configure wxGTK.
|
|
|
|
cd wxPythonGTK-2.3.3 # or whatever the top-level dir is
|
|
mkdir build
|
|
cd build
|
|
../configure --with-gtk \
|
|
--prefix=$WXPREF \
|
|
--enable-rpath=$WXPREF/lib \
|
|
--with-opengl \
|
|
--enable-geometry \
|
|
--enable-optimise \
|
|
--enable-debug_flag \
|
|
|
|
You may want to use --enable-debug instead of --enable-optimise if
|
|
you need to run though a debugger and want full debugging symbols.
|
|
|
|
if you want to use the image and zlib libraries included with
|
|
wxWindows instead of those already installed on your system, (for
|
|
example, to reduce dependencies on 3rd party libraries) then you
|
|
can add these flags to the configure command:
|
|
|
|
--with-libjpeg=builtin \
|
|
--with-libpng=builtin \
|
|
--with-libtiff=builtin \
|
|
--with-zlib=builtin
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Build and install wxGTK. (You may need to be root for the last
|
|
step, depending on where your WXPREF is.)
|
|
|
|
make
|
|
cd ../locale
|
|
make allmo
|
|
cd ../build
|
|
make install
|
|
|
|
4. Build and install wxPython. If you want to use a different version
|
|
of Python than is found by default on the PATH then specify the
|
|
whole pathname in these steps. The version of Python that runs
|
|
setup.py is the version wxPython will be built and installed for.
|
|
(You will need to be root for the install step unless your Python
|
|
is not in a system location.)
|
|
|
|
cd ../wxPython
|
|
python setup.py \
|
|
IN_CVS_TREE=1 WX_CONFIG=$WXPREF/bin/wx-config \
|
|
build install
|
|
|
|
5. That's all!
