Bug 46942 – ebuild file for wxActiveX extension to wxWidgets library cross-compiled to win32 using xmingw (new)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Description Adrian Smarzewski 2004-04-06 04:05:12 UTC]

this is an ebuild file for wxActiveX/wxIE extension to wxWidgets library cross-compiled to win32 using xmingw. Now you can easly build win32
applications with ActiveX support and Internet Explorer embedded on gentoo
host). It requires my previously send cross-compiled wxWidgets library
ebuild (bug 46420), and a patch fixing ole headers in xmingw-win32api
package (bug 46886). wxActiveX library needs a non-trivial patch to compile
using mingw. The patch is attached and ebuild is applying it. I will send it
to library author too.


Reproducible: Always

Adrian, this compiles fine, I just need to test wxIE.exe on a Windows machine
and I can add it. I'll have to change the copyright header like on wx-xmingw too
of course.

Added to CVS.
Thanks again Adrian!

Hello,
I'm using dev-cpp 4.9.9.2 with mingw 3.4.2 and WxWidgets 2.6

I have download wxactivex_1.0.zip and apply the patch "wxActiveX patch fixing 
mingw compiling and linking"

It's compiling and linking fine with 1 warning :
SetTransparent();
on void wxActiveX::CreateActiveX(REFCLSID clsid)
in the file wxactivex.cpp line 300

SetTransparent function is deprecated in wxwidgets 2.6 so I have comment the 
line.

The problem is when I execute the .EXE compiled whith dev-cpp, nothing appears 
on the screen and in the windows task manager.
(I'm on Windows XP home SP2)

Have you any idea...

I need to embedded IE control in my wx application so it's my problem.

Thank you for your help.

new ebuild - wxWidgets 2.6, debug flag added

News:

- changes in makefile to make it compatible with wxWidgets 2.6 - see http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46420
- changes in makefile - always compile with ansi build of wxWidgets (can not compile wxActiveX with unicode version)
- debug flag to choose build od wxWidgets that will be used - debug or release.

Ebuild was prepared as SILVERCODERS (http://silvercoders.com) company
contribution to Gentoo project.

Reopening because of new ebuild (see attachment above).

dev-libs/wx-xmingw needs to be punted, not updated

[Comment 11 Adrian Smarzewski 2006-09-17 02:45:13 UTC]

Any reason?

# Mike Frysinger <[e-mail]> (23 Sep 2006)
# Use `emerge crossdev && crossdev mingw32`
dev-libs/wx-xmingw
dev-util/xmingw-binutils
dev-util/xmingw-gcc
dev-util/xmingw-runtime

Ebuild p.masked as it depends on deprecated package. Closing this bug.
