Hi,

2008/11/5 Moritz Lennert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Below discussion comes from the DebianGIS mailing list. It raises an issue
about documentation of the configure options.

./configure --help shows:

--with-wxwidgets[=path/wx-config] enable wxWidgets support (wx-config with
path, e.g. '--with-wxwidgets=/usr/local/bin/wx-config', default: no)

but this does not seem to work, while below solution does. Looking through
the configure file, I don't really understand why this is so (but then
again, I can't claim that I understand everything in that file).

So, is the documentation wrong, or does below solution just work by chance ?

Yes, I liked that better too.  However, modifying that target as:

It should be:
--with-wx=/usr/lib/wx/config/gtk2-unicode-release-2.8\
--with-wxwidgets \

Yes, this worked.  The packages built fine.  The only problem reamining
is the clash betwee grass-preview-doc and grass-doc I posted earlier.
Thanks everyone for your help.

there is no --with-wx just --with-wxwidgets which takes as argument
*path to wx-config* (similary e.g. to --with-gdal)

But what is weird is that the above combination works, whereas giving the path to wx-widgets doesn't...

Here's what Seb wrote:

still resulted in this at build time:

---<---------------cut here---------------start-------------->---
checking whether to use wxWidgets... yes
checking for wx-config... /usr/bin/wx-config
checking wxWidgets version... 2.6.3
configure: error: *** wxWidgets 2.8.1 or later is required.
make: *** [config-stamp] Error 1
debuild: fatal error at line 1301:
couldn't exec fakeroot debian/rules: ---<---------------cut here---------------end---------------->---


And both for him and for me it works with with-wx.

???

IIUC, configure looks for the string wx-config in the path given to wxwidgets, but as you can see in Debian (when you have several version of wxwidgets installed) you the file might not be called *wx-config*.
