Bug 18203 – wxPython 2.4.0.6 doesn't compile with wxGTK with GTK+2 support

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Sridhar Dhanapalan 2003-03-26 03:14:40 UTC]

Compiling wxGTK with GTK+2 support works fine. However, wxPython-2.4.0.6 doesn't
honour this properly, and when I try to emerge wxPython it asks for me to use
the gtk2 USE flag, even though I already am.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE="gtk2" emerge wxGTK
2. USE="gtk2" emerge wxPython
Actual Results:  
emerge throws up an error asking to use the 'gtk2' USE flag when compiling wxPython.

Expected Results:  
Since wxGTK is compiled with gtk2 support, wxPython should compile with no problem.

This seems to be a bug in the ebuild [wxPython-2.4.0.6.ebuild]. On line 29 it says

    if [ ! -f "/usr/bin/wxgtk2u-config" ]; then

However, the file /usr/bin/wxgtk2u-config doesn't exist. If I change that same
line to say

    if [ ! -f "/usr/bin/wxgtk2u-2.4-config" ]; then

the emerge works, and wxPython works without error, even with GTK+2.
