Package: libwxgtk2.6-0
Version: 2.6.1.2.0.1
Severity: important
The current debian package in unstable for wxWidgets doesn't include
support for OpenGL which causes compile problems for software that
requires it (like Kicad). Please use the '--with-opengl' option when
running the configure script in the next release.
-- System Information:
Debian Release: 3.1
Architecture: powerpc (ppc)
Kernel: Linux 2.6.8-powerpc-smp

Hey Bryan,
I don't want to rag on you too much in one day, I appreciate that you
are trying to help, but you do need to research these things a bit
better before reaching for reportbug (and/or read the other reports
when it prompts you to).
In this case, OpenGL support has been available for more years than
I care to think about, and you could have either checked the contents
of the .deb (dpkg -L libwxgtk2.6-0) and found the lib you require
quite in it, or looked at the source, to see the option you suggest
adding, is also quite firmly added...

I've had some contact with people working with that package, afaik
it had some work to do making its literals wxString compatible for
'unicode' builds, but I thought they were being, or had been, resolved.
That was a while ago too.

If it really is GL failing for you now, this is not the reason.
You might check:
- you really have GL libs installed. The wx .debs only suggest
them, they are not a hard dep except for apps that use it.
- your build is requesting the gl lib from wx-config when it
needs it.
Other than that, I have no information that might identify the
actual problem.
Which is the other aspect of bug reporting etiquette that you will
find in the end, significantly saves you time:
Just report _the problem_, with as much relevant first hand
detail as might be needed to describe it fully to the point
where you could not analyse it any further. Guessing at what
the answer might be, aside from being almost always wrong, or
at best incomplete, completely obscures what the original
issue may have been in ways that make it impossible to divine.
Anyway, if it turns out that this is something that documentation
would help, please let me know what needs to be pointed out better.
A lot of people have 'teething' trouble with wx, but its hard to
always guess from this end, exactly what it might be. I try to
fill in the potholes when we find them...
cheers,
Ron
