Hi,

2008/1/13, William Kyngesburye <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
From what I could figure out about configure and make for GRASS Python:

--with-python enables wxpython.  See gui/Makefile.

The swig bindings are manually built -- see the note in swig/
makefile.  And they don't appear to have any connection with --with-
python.

I added --with-wxpython option to configure script. wxPython requires
--with-python, also checks for python version >= 2.4 and wxpython >=
2.8.

Hi,
current trunk ./configure --help says that --with-python will enable
Python support (Python bindings?). Still I don't see any switch to
enable/disable wxpython. Shouldn't there be one?

Currently, the wxPython GUI needs a separate installation of Python and wxPython. I don't think the Python SWIG interface makes any difference to the GUI (or does it do something with the digitizing module?). So what does this switch do?

Ultimately, I suppose we'll move to building this with runtime/ compiled versions so that users of prebuilt binaries don't have to install Python and wxPython. In the meantime, I don't understand the point of the switch.
