wxUniversal

[Gerald Brandt]

Hi,

What's the status of wxUniversal?

I tried to configure it with the following line:
../configure --disable-debug --disable-debug_flag --disable-shared
--disable-opengl --enable-svg --enable-aui --enable-universal

and the output I got was:

Configured wxWidgets 3.1.0 for `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu'

Which GUI toolkit should wxWidgets use? GTK+ 2 with
support for GTK+ printing
Should wxWidgets be compiled into single library? no
Should wxWidgets be linked as a shared library? no
Should wxWidgets support Unicode? yes (using
wchar_t)
What level of wxWidgets compatibility should be enabled?
wxWidgets 2.8 no
wxWidgets 3.0 yes
Which libraries should wxWidgets use?
STL no
jpeg sys
png sys
regex builtin
tiff sys
zlib sys
expat sys
libmspack no
sdl no


Is the GTK+ 2 support right?

Thanks,
Gerald

Try --with-x11 option.
OTOH, this is a bug in configure. "--enable-universal" should not pick
the GTK+ toolkit.
What wx version is it from?

Also, why do you need wxUniversal? On Linux it uses X11 as a backend
and the GUI is ugly comparing to GTK+/QT. Also, not that X11 API direct usage
is strongly discouraged even by X11 people, AFAIK.

Thank you.

Hi,

I'm using trunk.

I'm just experimenting with universal, taking a look at it. I'd really
like to try a non-toolkit universal, where EVERYTHING is drawn via DFB
or something.

There is very basic wxDFB port, but it's not at all, complete.
And wxUniversal is based on X11 API.

Thank you.

It's essentially unmaintained. But should at least build.

Yes. Although the configure summary doesn't say so, it's going to build
wxUniversal, "on top of" GTK2.

You should not answer questions about things you do not understand.

Paul,

Maybe I worded it incorrectly.
My comment was referring to the 'summary' output which is incorrect in this
case.

It shouldn't say that the build will be GTK+2.

Thank you.
