Package: libwxgtk2.8-0
Version: 2.8.12.1+dfsg2-2
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I have been having an issue with official builds of wxWidgets on Debian-based
systems for a couple years now. The wxSound object does not work. It does not
produce any audio output. I don't see any error output when building an app
using the module nor when it is used at runtime.
The bug only seems to affect Debian-based systems. Namely, I have tested it on
Debian, Ubuntu, and Linux Mint, on none of which it works. I have also tested
builds on non-Debian systems; Fedora, FreeBSD, Windows XP, and Windows 7. On
all of these systems the wxSound module works fine.
To further investigate the problem I custom built wxWidgets on my Debian
system using source from http://www.wxwidgets.org/. Running binaries produced
with the Debian build and custom build successfully executed the wxSound
module when linked to the custom libs. For these reasons I believe that there
is an error in the official Debian build of wxWidgets's shared libs:
- Only Debian-based systems are affected.
- A custom build of wxWidgets (wxGtk) produces a working wxSound module.
For reference, the build command/options that I used follow:
../configure --enable-shared --enable-unicode --disable-gtktest \
--disable-sdltest --with-gtk --with-sdl --with-opengl \
--with-gnomeprint --with-gnomevfs
I am unsure if current builds of the newer libwxgtk3.0-0 share this same bug.
The project for which I am using wxWidgets and wxSound is located here for
reference as well: https://sourceforge.net/projects/myabcs
