Description

I'm building wxWidgets 3.2.2.1 from source for the first time.

mkdir -p buildgtk
cd buildgtk
../configure --with-gtk --enable-stl --disable-compat30 -h

Questions:

there are many --enable-xyz and --with-abc from configure, how do I know which one is enabled? do I need manually enable them one by one?
if I add --enable-mediactrl the configure complains no gstreamer, but I have all gstreamer lib installed.

Platform and version information

wxWidgets version you are building: 3.2.2.1
wxWidgets port you are building:
OS and its version: ubuntu 22.04
Compiler being used: gcc12

@laoshaw ,

The configure output used to be bigger and it was displaying all those options with the status.
Most of those options are enabled by default (like 99% of them).

BTW, if you are building for the first time - you better use "--enable-debug" option. It really helps being able to step inside wxWidgets code or find what is going on with your program, becuse of the crash/assert failure.

Thank you.

in my case it's caused by clang-16's libunwind, I had to use the default libunwind from ubuntu 22.04 instead, after that gstreamer is properly detected. Thanks!
