Please try: $ gcc -c `wx-config2-2.4-config --cxxflags` -Wall test.cpp -o test.o I will change the ebuild to symlink to one of the non-unicode ones so at least all apps will compile. Let me know if that helps and I'll close this bug. Thanks. pythonhead@gentoo.org 2004-10-09 14:44:27 0000 This shouldn't be a problem if you use the correct wc-config. Closing. nadams@ieee.org 2004-12-22 08:10:12 0000 Please make the ebuild install the appropriate version based on the user's USE flags. Making the end-user change use flags is very un-Gentoo. :)
