Description Dirk Schoenberger 2006-03-22 13:16:59 UTC

I would like to see WxWidgets for Native Aqua applications (i.e. no X)
WxWidgets supports a Carbon and a Cocoa based Mac implementation with varying feature completeness.
I attach a basic ebuild which could be used to emerge WxWidgets-2.6.3-rc2

The package builds, but somehow doesn't install any files. This may or maybe not have to do that the package has not found a place yet (I used a local overlay and app-misc/wxwidgets as package)

The ebuild has no dependencies yet.

perhaps a better package name ould be wxCocoa resp. wxMac

Comment 3 Dirk Schoenberger 2006-03-24 12:44:46 UTC

The problem of the not installed files seems to be a sandbox problem. 
emerge seems to install into a temporary image folder, as in 

>>> Install wxwidgets-2.6.3 into /var/tmp/portage/wxwidgets-2.6.3/image/ category app-misc
man:
prepallstrip:
/usr/lib/portage/bin/prepstrip: line 1: scanelf: command not found
>>> Completed installing wxwidgets-2.6.3 into /var/tmp/portage/wxwidgets-2.6.3/image/


while the "make install" of wxWidgets copies directly into the prefix.

evuild, v2

A second try for an ebuild, based on wxWidgets eclass.
Doesn't  emerge cleanly on my system because of some package collisions

Dirk,
I'm trying to clean up some bugs here. Is this working better yet or even still requested? Let us know the status.
