wxPython build trouble

[snaps]

I am having trouble getting wxPython to install properly on my x86_64
fedora linux box. When I run "python setup.py build_ext --inplace --
debug UNICODE=0", I see the output/errors below. Does anyone know how
to fix the install problems?

Thanks.
Mike

My guess is that you are using an older version of wxWidgets than your
wxPython version.

Hi Robin,

I am using wxPython version 2.8.10.1 with wxWidget 2.8.10 with python version 2.6.2.  If I look inside the "_gdi_wrap.cpp" file, I do *not* see a function called "CreateBitmap" in the "wxGraphicsBitmap" class (as indicated by the errors below).  Furthermore, I notice the include guards in the file  "/usr/local/include/wx-2.8/wx/graphics.h".  Please advise on how to continue.

Thanks.
Mike

Do you have the headers for any other version of wxWidgets on your
system that it might be finding by accident? If you're using the 2.8.10
headers then wxABI_VERSION should be 20810 so it should be seeing that
method prototype.

I also ran into this problem trying to build 2.8.10.1 on both Solaris
9 x86
and RedHat 4. I think the issue is that the wxGraphicsRenderer C++
stub
class in _gdi_wrap.cpp does not have a stub for CreateBitmap, and for
whatever reason my build/configuration does not have
wxUSE_GRAPHICS_CONTEXT
set, so it uses the stub in _gdi_wrap.cpp and I get the error.

I see wxGraphicsContext does have a stub for CreateBitmap -- so maybe
coping that into wxGraphicsRender (in _gdi_wrap.cpp) will take care
of the problem. I will give that a try tomorrow.

I am curious as to why my wxPython build isn't setting
wxUSE_GRAPHICS_CONTEXT.
Looks like my wxWidgets build has it enabled (from config.log):

wx_cv_use_graphics_ctx=wxUSE_GRAPHICS_CONTEXT=yes

Do I need to configure that explicitly for my wxPython build somehow?

Thanks!

Joe

Ah, good catch. I didn't think about checking the stub version.

Configure will override the setting it if it is unable to find the libs
and headers for Cairo. Check the output of configure or its log file to
be sure.

I ran into the same issue trying to build 2.8.10.1 on Solaris, and I
can confirm that copying the CreateBitmap stub from
wxGraphicsRenderer to wxGraphicsContext in _gdi_wrap.cpp solves the
problem.

[Jason R. Coombs]

For clarity, I think A Brett meant "copying the CreateBitmap stub from
wxGraphicsContext to wxGraphicsRenderer."

Here's the patch I used against the 2.8.10.1 tarball sources to
accomplish the same.

I ran into exactly the same problem on Ubuntu 9.04, no other wx
[Python] headers installed.

The problem was solved by the suggested patch. Here is yet another
downloadable version of it:
