Bugzilla Bug 55716

just found out that plucker has it's ebuild now, so checked it out; it failes
to compile already with the first file (see additional info for the complete
log):

checkbox_message_dialog.h:82: error: invalid type `const char[2]' for default
   argument to `const wxString&'

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge plucker

Actual Results:  
failes to compile

Expected Results:  
compile

the compile gives:

what version of wxGTK do you have?

the latest stable:

# emerge -p wxGTK

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] x11-libs/wxGTK-2.4.2-r1

can I help with anything more?

I'm getting the same error trying to compile this.  I have wxGTK version
2.4.2-r2 installed.

-r2 didn't work for me; however
I didn't have any problems with wxGTK 2.4.2-r3.

I just tried with wxGTK-2.4.2-r3 and it still fails for me with the same error
message:

In file included from checkbox_message_dialog.cpp:64:
checkbox_message_dialog.h:82: error: invalid type `const char[2]' for default 
   argument to `const wxString&'

Were you perhaps using wxGTK-2.5.1-r1?

Same problem here with wxGTK-2.4.2-r2

Just re-emerge wxGTK without "unicode"-flag. It work for me. I hope for you
too.

okay... and if I would like unicode support in my wxGTK?

Created an attachment (id=56051) [edit]
non-unicode.diff

This patch to plucker-1.8-r1.ebuild will force the ebuild to use the ansi
(non-unicode) version, so no re-emerging of wxGTK is necessary.

This is now fixed in plucker-1.8-r1

I used Rob's need-wxwidgets fix, plus a sed to the Makefiles to call
$(WX_CONFIG) instead of wx-config
