Hi Guys,
wxWidgets 3.0.1 came out last week with a few nice fixes in it.
I have hacked the Alien install files for Linux, which was quite
simple. The Mac script also looks as though it is the same as Linux, so
that probably works too. It may even work for Windows, but I doubt it.
The result is here: https://github.com/SteveBz/Alien-wxWidgets, on the
github repository Eric set up for us. Its in the repo I called
Experimental-Dev, in case there is any confusion.
Windows has a file called wxMSW-3.0.0-makefiles.patch, which varies
slightly from build to build, but I don't know why, so I haven't created
a wxMSW-3.0.1-makefiles.patch which I imagine is needed. In the
meantime I've left the install script pointing at the 3.0.0 patch in
case it might work. If Anybody who knows how it works, please say.
Sadly I don't have a Windows environment to test it on.
So if you have Alien-wxWidgets running 3.0.0, it should be quite simple
to upgrade to 3.0.1. If you don't have 3.0.0, you probably need to
remove your old wx files in "/usr". I do it like this, with sudo:
# Remove old wx installation (it will also remove wx-based systems!!!!)
Eg wxGlade, wxPython etc.
# I have avoided the removal of wxPython with the | grep -v -i python
line, so if you have any other systems, put in similar lines.
cd ~
find /usr | grep -i wx | grep -v -i python | grep -v -i soffice > rm_wx.sh
sed -i -e 's/\/usr\//rm -rf \/usr\//g' rm_wx.sh
sh rm_wx.sh
cd ~
Script follows.
Good luck and please let me have any feedback.
Regards,
Steve.
