Description Frederic DEGHETTO 2003-02-12 09:23:28 UTC

Hello,

I have emerged wxGTK-2.4.0 without any problem. But i am not able to compile
wxwindows programs. For example, if i try to compile the example program bomb, i
obtain this message:
 make -f makefile.unx
g++ -c `wx-config --cxxflags` -o bombs.o bombs.cpp

And it's the same for another wx program.

My conf is :

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge wxGTK-2.4.0
2.install demos-2.4.0
3.and make -f makefile.unx in the bomb directory

I did not have a similar problem.  Please paste the output of "emerge info" to this bug.

Comment 2 Nick Hadaway 2003-02-12 21:33:50 UTC

nm the emerge info thing... i see you already did...

Comment 3 Nick Hadaway 2003-02-12 21:39:27 UTC

You might have a problem with the fact that you have gtk2 enabled in USE.
Make sure that wxGTK is build -gtk2 and then re-test the bombs demo.

Comment 4 Nick Hadaway 2003-02-13 00:49:33 UTC

I have now verified this on a couple machines differnt test boxes.

Comment 5 Frederic DEGHETTO 2003-02-13 02:36:34 UTC

Hello,

Now wxGTK is compiled with "USE=-gtk2 emerge wxGTK" and all is OK.
Thanks you for your help. Like we say in france : merci pour votre aide.

Frederic
