wxPython/pseudodc.h not found

[neteler]

I have taken the wxPython 2.8.7 SRPM from Mandriva 2008.1 and compiled on my 2007.1 box. Using the new configure, still wxPython/pseudodc.h is not found:

./configure --with-wxwidgets=`which wx-config` ...
...
checking whether to use Python... yes
checking for python-config... /usr/bin/python-config
checking for Python.h... yes
checking whether to use wxWidgets... yes
checking for wx-config... /usr/bin/wx-config
checking wxWidgets version... 2.8.7
checking for wx/wxprec.h... yes
checking for wx/wxPython/pseudodc.h... no
configure: error: * Unable to locate wxWidgets includes.

But:

locate pseudodc.h
/usr/lib/wxPython/include/wx-2.8/wx/wxPython/pseudodc.h

And:

wx-config --cflags
-I/usr/lib64/wx/include/ -I/usr/lib64/wx/include/gtk2-ansi-release-2.8 -I/usr/include/wx-2.8 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGE_FILES -D_WXGTK_ -pthread

I assume that we need something line --with-wxpython-includes.

As hack:

ln -s /usr/lib/wxPython/include/wx-2.8/wx/wxPython /usr/include/wx-2.8/wx/

makes it work.

I have submitted this also to Mandriva: ​http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=37833

As this problem is solvable on Mandriva, it should not be the reason to hold the configure backport to 6.3-release branch.

modifying Makefile manually is unacceptable. It seems that at least for Mandriva we need something like --with-wxpython-includes (?)

sorry I think I completely misunderstood, you can use

--with-wxwidgets=/usr/lib/wxPython/bin/wx-config --cflags

but then probably wx/wxprec.h will be not found.

I meant

--with-wxwidgets=/usr/lib/wxPython/bin/wx-config

but then probably wx/wxprec.h will be not found.

This should be "fixed" by adding local copy of pseudodc.h, see #58.

Check for wx/wxPython/pseudodc.h removed in r35556. Any objections to backport to devbr6 and relbr64? Martin

If the wxPseudoDC elimination has been backported, the check for the header file should also be backported.

Done in r35582 and r35583. Closing ticket.
