Description Cyrius 2007-05-12 11:18:55 UTC

wxwidgets.eclass use the old fashion "set-wxconfig" tool and report the error :
Compile wxGTK with unicode USE flag.
But This error doesn't correspond to the real problem.



Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
When emerging pgadmin3, the ebuild call "need-wxwidgets unicode".
This fail in error with a bad error message.

Expected Results:  
Compile and run

Not portage.

Also, please attach a unified diff, instead of the whole eclass.

In fact, the problem come from wxGTK which is the 2.8 version

Comment 6 Cyrius 2007-05-12 13:43:05 UTC

This is needed to be able to use wxGTK 2.8

thanks, but we have a completely rewritten eclass we're in the process of testing right now.  it'll be ready for the public pretty soon, so stay tuned.

thx

The premise of this patch is unfortunately completely wrong anyway.
There is nothing old in set-wxconfig - it is a bash function inside the very same eclass. wx-config is a configuration utility which we can NOT use inside portage installations as it is heavily dependent on which SLOT was last installed and so on. It also does not accept things like gtk-ansi as an argument (well it does, but spits out nonsense for the lib names then).
Thanks for the concern though and I hope this information helps for future patches from you in this area after the rework is in :)
Marking bug as closed.
