hugin 2013.0.0 build fail: cannot convert ‘const wxString’ to ‘const char*’ in initialization

[Ludo]

Hello

My hugin 2013.0.0 build fails at 75%, upon building target PTPatcherGUI, with this error:

[ 75%] Building CXX object src/hugin1/ptbatcher/
CMakeFiles/PTBatcherGUI.dir/PTBatcherGUI.cpp.o
~/hugin-2013.0.0/src/hugin1/ptbatcher/PTBatcherGUI.cpp: In member function ‘virtual bool PTBatcherGUI::OnInit()’:
~/hugin-2013.0.0/src/hugin1/ptbatcher/PTBatcherGUI.cpp:174:5: error: cannot convert ‘const wxString’ to ‘const char*’ in initialization

I have followed the instructions from:
http://wiki.panotools.org/Hugin_Compiling_Ubuntu

I had compiled wxWidgets 3.0 myself from source, following the instructions from:
http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/Compiling_and_getting_started

I would rather compile hugin myself rather than installing the package, but I am really struggling.

Could someone help me?

Hi,

(It's not neccessary to post twice, and within 24 hours. It's the christmasdays and people might be busy doing other things.)

I'm afraid that hugin is not ready yet for wxwidgets 3.x. It is ready for 2.9.x and below.

It is of high priority to get hugin ready for wxwidgets 3.0 before the next release cycle so we have to look into it.

best,

Harry

Hi Harry,

Thanks for this key information. I may then try to build hugin against
an earlier version of wxwidgets.

Realizing that on christmas very few member would read this forum, I
deleted my first post and edited the title to include the hugin
version i tried to build. My apologize if this may have sound like
insisting or inappropriate.

So it seems wxwidgets isn't backward compatible.

Thank you again,

Ludo

Hugin is ready for 2.9.x and 3.x. It compiled fine with MSVC and wxWidgets 3.0. (The 2.9.x series is the development series for 3.0, so there should no incompatibly from 2.9.5 to 3.0).
So I assume that gcc treats the code other than MSVC compiler.
I committed a fix to the default branch (2013.1 series, changeset 383415863131), but this is untested on *nix/gcc toolchain.

At least it compiles fine with wx2.8 with gcc/unix.

I just built the up-to-date 2013 default branch on Ubuntu 13.10 64bit against libpano13-2.9.19_beta1 and against wxwidgets 3.0.0.

Everything builds fine.

Please check whether you still have your wxwidgets 2.8 and or libwx<library>2.8-dev installed.

And also: did you build against a mercurial latest development 2013 version or against the hugin-2013 release tarball?

Harry

[Harry van der Wolf]

I also built the release tarball 2013.0 against the default libpano13-2.9.18 and the wxwidgets 3.0.0, again on Ubuntu 13.10 64bit.

That one built fine as well.

Thanks for your feedbacks.
The build still fails at 75% with the error

In member function ‘virtual bool PTBatcherGUI::OnInit()’:

hugin.hg/src/hugin1/ptbatcher/PTBatcherGUI.cpp:174:5: error: cannot convert ‘const wxString’ to ‘const char*’ in initialization.

The problem is clearly on my side then.
I document step by step what I did, all following http://wiki.panotools.org/Hugin_Compiling_Ubuntu

• Installed wxwidget3.0 from source.
• Installed latest libpano13 from source.
• Installed latest enblend from source.
• Installed all build time dependencies except libpano13 and wxwidget.

sudo apt-get install libtiff4-dev libpng12-dev \
  libopenexr-dev libexiv2-dev freeglut3-dev libglew-dev libboost-dev \
  libboost-thread-dev libboost-regex-dev libboost-filesystem-dev \
  libboost-iostreams-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-signals-dev \
  gettext liblapack-dev libxi-dev libxmu-dev libtclap-dev liblensfun-dev

• Used hg to clone hugin 2013.0, updated it.
  

hg clone http://hg.code.sf.net/p/hugin/hugin hugin.hg (followed by hg update -C 2013.0)

• Create a separate build directory and prepare the environment for the build:

cmake ../hugin.hg -DENABLE_LAPACK=YES -DCPACK_BINARY_DEB:BOOL=ON -DCPACK_BINARY_NSIS:BOOL=OFF -DCPACK_BINARY_RPM:BOOL=OFF -DCPACK_BINARY_STGZ:BOOL=OFF -DCPACK_BINARY_TBZ2:BOOL=OFF -DCPACK_BINARY_TGZ:BOOL=OFF -DCPACK_BINARY_TZ:BOOL=OFF -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo -DBUILD_HSI:BOOL=ON -DSWIG_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/swig2.0

Then make package

But then it fails with the above mentioned error...

Building a big project like hugin is for me a first, but from looking at the result of the cmake, it seems nothing is missing. So I can't understand why this error I get: "convert ‘const wxString’ to ‘const char*’ in initialization"...

Can anyone spot what I missed, or did wrong?

It looks like you have the 2013.0.0 branch.
The recent revision which includes a fix (if I understand it correctly)
that attempts to overcome wxwidget compile issues, is 6415:383415863131,
and is in the default branch.

Yes. Thanks a lot. This did it. I did:

hg update -C default

And re-cmake and re - make package and no more issue.

Thank you again.

hugin installed.

But when I run it (from the command line), I get a lot of messages in the consol:

And when I quit, I get
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Is this normal behaviour?
