Hi,

2008/1/14, Glynn Clements <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

current trunk ./configure --help says that --with-python will enable
Python support (Python bindings?).

Yes.

Still I don't see any switch to enable/disable wxpython. Shouldn't
there be one?

It isn't needed. The Tcl/Tk and Python checks in gui/Makefile are both
bogus; those directories should be processed regardless of whether or
not Tcl/Tk or Python are installed on the build system.

now gui/Makefile checks for wxPython instead of Python. wxPython stuff
is installed only if --with-wxpython is given.

I think Glynn's point was that the installation should simply be unconditional with no checks in gui/Makefile - the wxPython stuff is just scripts and doesn't need Python to be installed on the compilation system for the scripts to be processed in any way (unlike C compiling) - the requirement for wxPython is only on the system that GRASS is run on so it should be a runtime check rather than a comile-time check.

Of course if the wxPython stuff does require Python on the compilation system, then what I've said is totally wrong...
