Right. I realize that to get wxPython, you also need wxWidgets on
Linux. On the Mac, this is not a separate install.
FWIW, Gentoo's wxGTK ebuilds use the wxPython sources:
2.8.7.1:
# we use the wxPython tarballs because they include the full wxGTK
sources and
# docs, and are released more frequently than wxGTK.
SRC_URI="mirror://sourceforge/wxpython/wxPython-src-${PV}.tar.bz2"
2.6.4.0:
# we use the wxPython tarballs because they include the full wxGTK
sources and
# are released more frequently than wxGTK.
SRC_URI="mirror://sourceforge/wxpython/wxPython-src-${PV}.tar.bz2
doc? ( mirror://sourceforge/wxwindows/wxWidgets-${BASE_PV}-
HTML.tar.gz )"
If you install wxPython, it treats wxGTK as a separate dependency, but
they both get built from the same sources.
Looks like there are only wxWidgets binaries for Debian and Ubuntu.
None for Mac or other platforms (maybe a special installer for
Windows).
I'm trying to see if there is some way to compile vdigit for the Mac
without having to compile the entire wxWidgets package (or wxPython)
from source. Among other things, I'm worried what this might do to my
existing wxPython (and I think wxWidgets) installation.
wxPython 2.5.3 onwards is designed to support having multiple versions
installed. So you should be able to have one <2.5.3 version and any
number of >=2.5.3 versions installed concurrently.
I have 2.4.2.4, 2.6.4.0 and 2.8.7.1, and haven't noticed any problems.
But these would be the same versions in different places. And I'm
speaking of wxWidgets, not wxPython. How would a source build of
wxWidgets interact or not interact with the wxWidgets pieces
installed with wxPython? Maybe not a problem, but I don't know. If
this situation can be avoided it would be nice.
FWIW, I emailed Robin Dunn to see if the dev package could be made
available with the Mac binaries. I don't know whether Robin maintains
the Mac binaries or it's someone else.
