RE: [Discuss-gnuradio] wxPython in Cygwin issue

[HL_Wu]

Johnathan:
         After choosing not to use opengl, I successfully build the wxWidgets
under Cygwin (I think in the wx world, this is called wxGTK+), but I can't 
build 
wxPython under Cygwin. I just begin to wonder if I take the wrong approach: 
because I also posted the below message to the wx-dev mailing list and it looked
nobody did this successfully before. Johnathan, would you mind trying to recall
how you achieved this one year ago?

1). Related package version:
     WINDOWS: Window 2000 SVR4
     OS: CYGWIN_NT-5.0 Hl_Wu_pc 1.5.21(0.156/4/2) 2006-07-30 14:21 i686 Cygwin
     Compiler: gcc (GCC) 3.4.4 (cygming special) (gdc 0.12, using dmd 0.125)
     GTK+: 2.6.10
     Python: 2.4.3
     wxPython: wxPython-src-2.6.3.3
     SWIG Version 1.3.29
2). Tweak about wxWidget compile
     Since the Python package didn't link the libraray 
/usr/lib/python2.4/config/libpython2.4.dll.a
to the library /usr/lib/libpython2.4.a, the compile process for wxWidget would 
encounter
link error. After fixing this, the wxWidget compilation is ok.

Sorry for the delay in responding to your email.

I successfully built wxPython on Cygwin about a year ago.  I don't
recall *having* to use --with-opengl for it to work, though I think
there are some wxPython features that get disabled if you don't. (I
think it's the wxGlCanvas stuff or whatever it's called.)
