[Hemadri Saxena]

hey..

GStreamer is a full multimedia framework for encoding and decoding video and sound.

GStreamer comeswith both console and GUI interface, and currently supports a wide range of formats including mp3, ogg, avi, mpeg and quicktime.

Do I really need this...My app won't require any video and sound

I have download gstreamer http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/6.2.0/multimedia/gstreamer.html

and tried to install it (installing both pre required s/w first )gave a following of error

Well that is a permission error, but i bet you can disinclude gstreamer with a compile flag.

I thought the relevant portion of that discussion was:
'
Taking the "--enable-mediactrl" option out allows me to compile.
'

[Hemadri Saxena]

using that option it says :

Usage : build-wxpython.py [options]

build-wxpython.py:  error no such option:  --enable-mediactrl

even when not in help as well 

python2.7 build-wxpython.py --help

I run following command now 

it again says :

Well that seems reasonable, since it doesn't look like you removed that flag.

If you don't need media controls try:

python build-wxpython.py --extra_setup=disable-mediactrl

or

python build-wxpython.py --extra_setup="--disable-mediactrl"

The idea is to turn OFF mediactrl.

Excuse me for jumping late into this thread. I run Slackware and build
wxPython (among other packages) using the SlackBuilds.org script.
Regardless, I also build a lot of applications from scratch with the
three-step configure; make; make install. I see two errors in the above set
of configuration options:

1) rather than --enable-mediactrl, either comment out that line by placing
a '#' to the left or change it to read --disable-mediactrl.

If I don't want to add a specific capability (e.g., one of the tools I use
does not like the readline here), I leave it off the list of configuration
options. However, if it's a default option then I'll explicitly disable it.

2) If you read './configure --help | less' just above the list of
configuration options you'll see the default for --prefix. This is where the
binaries (i.e., executables) will be installed. Your system, regardless of
distribution, will not look for them in /opt/; that's for optional tools.
The default is probably /usr/local/ or /usr/. That's what you want for the
prefix.

Keeping your source code in /opt/wx/3.0/ is fine; but that's not where the
kernel looks for the files it needs to load the application.

If you read the configure file you'll see options for changing where
libraries, headers, and other necessary files are installed, and they're all
relative to --prefix.

HTH,

Rich

This is the next (last?) error. If you have gstreamer installed, you need
to tell configure where it is. What is the result if you run 'locate
gstreamer'? Or, if your system is not on overnight when the file database
is0updated, as root (or 'sudo' if that's how your system is set) run this
command:
find / -name gstreamer
and let us know the result.

On my system, gstreamer-0.10.36 is installed. Note that the name is all
lowercase.

'Cause it ain't on your system. :-) See the message I just posted on how
to find it.

[Hemadri Saxena]

Question is : if mediactrl is disable why its looking for GStreamer ??

anyways I did find / -name gstreamer 

its says permission denied 

and at last

find: WARNING: Hard link count is wrong for /opt/gnu: this may be a bug in your filesystem driver.  Automatically turning on find's -noleaf option.  Earlier results may have failed to include directories that should have been searched.

Hemadri,

Did you run it with root privileges?

Ah, embedded system development. That's an area about which I know
nothing. My suggestion, though, is to find gstreamer source (if there is no
Wind River-specific build for it) and install that first.

HTH,

Rich

[Nathan McCorkle]

find(ing)on / it is normal to get permission denied if you aren't root or using sudo.

[Hemadri Saxena]

Hi 

I don't have root privileges..I will ask my administrator to do that for me...

Yes I tried to install GStreamer from the I have download gstreamer http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/6.2.0/multimedia/gstreamer.html

and tried to install it 

Its get installed in \usr\lib\gstreamer-0.10

I am not whether it went successful or not but when I type gst-launch it says

-> gst-launch

(process:26535): GStreamer-WARNING **: The GStreamer function gst_init_get_option_group() was

        called, but the GLib threading system has not been initialised

        yet, something that must happen before any other GLib function

        is called. The application needs to be fixed so that it calls

           if (!g_thread_supported ()) g_thread_init(NULL);

        as very first thing in its main() function. Please file a bug

Hi Hemadri,

Did you try using anaconda and using conda to install WxPython?

There are some issues, you can see my recent post, yet this works good enough.

And as far as I understand, you may not need rot privileges for this as long as you do this from you account.

The procedure should be:

1. Install Anaconda - you can do this in your home directory - just follow the instructions

2. If you are using CentOS Linux type the following:

conda install wxpython

    if you are using Ubuntu you will need a specialized build that you can get if you type the following:

conda install wxpython -c asmeurer

It is not perfect and may not work on all distributions, yet if this does work it will save you so much time and you will not need to build wxpython

I hope you find this helpful

              Jacob

Installation went fine...but still when i do import wx its says no module

[Hemadri Saxena]

omg its really sucks now...

Now I switched to wxPython 2.8 and followed the following page for installation:

http://wxpython.org/BUILD-2.8.html

./configure give no error 

make

make install work fine and I am able to install wxWidgets..

Now I run 

cd wxPython

Hi Hemadri,

WxPython does have differences between versions and platforms, some are unavoidable issues, yet some can be fixed. moving versions and platforms around is painful. I suggest that you define your end goal so people can help you better.

For example, do you need your system to work on multiple platforms and WxPython versions?

Do you have to build WxPython? Or you just need one version that works in certain configuration?

Declaring your end goal will be helpful.

Hi Jacob,

I need wxPython working on Linux...I have tried almost everything..but it simply do not come at all on Linux.

Please help me with whatever release(2.8 or 3.0) python(2.7 or 2.4)...or with any method....I want to see this wxPython working on Linux.

Let me sum up

1. with wxPython 3.0 and Python 2.7

  --It give it GStreamer issue (I tried all the diable-media ctrl .commenting etc and even installing GStreamer which went well as gst-launch is working as expected but still when I insatll wxPython 3.0 its shows GStreamer missing)

2. so I shifted on the lower version wxPython 2.8

 --In this wxWidge works fine ./configure , make and make install went well but when I do python setup.py install this give a whole lots error for missing files.

3. then finally I serched some rpm file for my OS and I manged to install it..anyhow it get installed but when do import wx

>>> import wx

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?

  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode/wx/__init__.py", line 45, in ?

    from wx._core import *

  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode/wx/_core.py", line 4, in ?

    import _core_

ImportError: libwx_baseu_xml-2.8.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

>>> 

Thanks and Regards

Hi Hemadri,

You are in a similar situation to mine. I was also having issues with WxPython on Linux for a while. 

In the past WxPython 2.8 was working on Ubuntu 12.04. You may be able to install it from a package manager such as synaptic. Just look for WxPython. Yet a couple of years ago I started having issues - I think it was an upgrade, yet I do not remember by now.

Anyway, I currently have WxPython working on 2 Linux systems: Ubuntu 14.04LTS and CentOS7. In both cases I used anaconda to install it:

On Ubuntu I used the conda command I sent you before to install WxPython. On CentOS the command is simpler:

conda install wxpython

There are, however, compatibility issues as you can see from my latest posts to this list. I tried building like you for quite a while and it seems only a handful of people can do those builds successfully since those require knowledge of the WxPython libraries and the Linux distribution libraries and those change from distribution to distribution. 

In my eyes, it seems that there are too many platform versions for the current WxPython development team to support.Therefore there is no stable solution for all Linux systems. I may be wrong in this assessment, yet I spent many hours in the last few months trying to do what you are trying to do and also encountered many issues such as the gstreamer issue you report. 

If you have flexibility is selecting a Linux distribution I suggest you select one of the two I mentioned and use anaconda for your python distribution and use conda install. 

You mentioned you have constraints such as which python distribution to use. If you cannot lift this constraint I know no simple solution - although using anaconda I was able to build a WxPython version where the demo ran on the native python on ubuntu Linux I think - it was a few weeks ago so I don't recall all details. 

I hope you are flexible enough to use one of the simple solutions I provided.

Are you sure you are using the Python version to which the wxPython
package was installed?

I use wxPython for years but just about only on Windows, recently I
wanted to check out some things with wxPython Phoenix and wanted to also
do that on Linux.

I posted the following install instructions on the wxPython dev list and
if you are willing to use wxPython Phoenix (which is still in
development and not all widgets have been ported) you might want to give
this a try.

One of the improvements of wxPython Phoenix is that it uses 'wheels'
which are installed with pip and for me (no Linux guru:-( ) that worked
relatively easily.

So, first I thought that I could just do 'pip install' but realized that
a bit more was needed.

So, after a bit of googling I found that the following page gave me some
useful hints.
http://wiki.wxpython.org/CheckInstall

I did the following install on a new install of Linux Mint 17
(Cinnamon), which is based on Ubuntu 14.04 - Trusty Thar).

Install prerequisites for Python 2.7:

- basic development things:
sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev build-essential python2.7-dev

- some image libraries
sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev libtiff-dev

- GTK 2
sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev

- Media stuff
sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev

- wxPython Phoenix latest snapshot:
pip install --pre -f http://wxpython.org/Phoenix/snapshot-builds/
wxPython_Phoenix

- verify installation, which should give something along these lines:
python2
>>> import wx
>>> wx.VERSION_STRING
'3.0.2.dev76974'

As mentioned before Phoenix is in development and by no means finished,
so don't use if you that is a problem for you, but maybe the above will
help you getting wxPython classic installed.

First, I apologize for the lengthy post. Second, this is a guide I had written and have been unable to post on the wxPython wiki. This guide is geared for Ubuntu 14.04 but can be adapted for any Linux Distro and in theory any version of wxPython.

Here it is:

Greetings, and thank you for reading this guide. It is currently a rough

draft and could use some improvements, but will get wxPython built and

installed on Ubuntu 12.04 and 14.04 computers. Keep in mind that these

are the only versions I have tested this guide with, so it may or may

not work with other Ubuntu version or Linux distros. Again this is a

rough draft and could benefit from someone more experienced with building

wxPython from source reviewing / editing it, but I hope it helps the

wxPython community.

***IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER***

sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev

** This was optional, but I noticed the build script mentioning it and I

** figured, "Why not?":

sudo apt-get install libnotify-cil-dev

** Time to get wxPython built and installed!

** Lets go to the /opt folder,this way we are less likely to move/mod/delete the

** wxPython files after we're done:

cd /opt

** Create the directory we will be working in:

sudo mkdir /opt/wxPython

** Take ownership, this is very important and makes things easier for us:

sudo chown <your username> /opt/wxPython

** Lets go into the folder we created:

cd /opt/wxPython

** Download the source into our current working directory:

wget http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/wxpython/wxPython/2.9.5.0/wxPython-src-2.9.5.0.tar.bz2

** Now we need to unpack the source

tar xjf wxPython-src-2.9.5.0.tar.bz2

** Which should create a new directory of wxPython-src-2.9.5.0 in our current

** working directory.

** Lets head straight to the build scripts directory now:

cd wxPython-src-2.9.5.0/wxPython

** Run the build script:

sudo python2.7 build-wxpython.py --build=../bld --force_config

** You may / may not notice the script telling you certain variables may

** need modified / added. Such as:

To run the wxPython demo you may need to:

 - set your PYTHONPATH variable to /opt/wxPython/wxPython-src-2.9.5.0/wxPython

 - set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH to /opt/wxPython/wxPython-src-2.9.5.0/bld/lib

** This is fairly painless to do, lets go back to your home directory:

cd ~/ (or cd /home/<your username>)

** Here I used nano, but you can use any editor you are comfortable with:

nano .bashrc

** See if this file already has lines that start with:

** NOTE: You need to use : to separate the directories

PYTHONPATH=

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=

** If they exist then append the directories to them, if not scroll to the bottom

** and add:

PYTHONPATH=/opt/wxPython/wxPython-src-2.9.5.0/wxPython

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/wxPython/wxPython-src-2.9.5.0/bld/lib

** From here we have a few options available that will reload the environment

** variables and allow us to try loading the wxPython demo.

** First option:

source .bashrc

** Using 'source .bashrc' should not only refresh the environment variables

** but also verify that the directories added are valid. If it reports any

** errors with the directories please verify that they were added correctly.

** If the issue(s) persist try option #2, rebooting the pc:

** To do this from the terminal:

sudo shutdown -r now

input password

wait...

** Minor explaination of the previous command, 'shutdown' is a command in

** Linux that will do as it says and turn your pc off. The option '-r' tells

** the computer to restart instead of turning off completely. The last

** option, 'now' informs the computer to do so immediately, otherwise you

** would need to specify a time frame for the process to occur. Refer to

** 'man shutdown' or 'shutdown --help' for more details.

** We can now try to run the wxPython demo! So in a terminal you can either

** navigate to the folder:

/opt/wxPython/wxPython-src-2.9.5.0/wxPython/demo

** and run:

python demo.py (or 'python2.7 demo.py')

** Or you can run it from your current directory with:

python /opt/wxPython/wxPython-src-2.9.5.0/wxPython/demo/demo.py

** or:

python2.7 /opt/wxPython/wxPython-src-2.9.5.0/wxPython/demo/demo.py

** If everything ran successfully the demo will load allowing you to

** view the various widget demos and source code.

** If you do not see the demo or happen to see errors produced I would

** recommend checking out the wxPython-users group on Google Groups.

** Located at: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/wxpython-users

** Or doing a quick Google search of the error(s).

That is all for now, wish you the best of luck!

Thanks Mike,

Yet note that this is WxPython 2.9.5.0. I think you need a patch for this version installation. 

However, such procedures are also dependent on Linux distribution. Here is a very similar example of a build that breaks:

https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/wx-users/75mT1NpbbBo

If you are just trying to install WxPython on Linux, the best solution I found that works on Ubuntu 12.04, Ubuntu 14.04, Fedora 21 is:

conda install wxpython 

You will need anaconda for this. If you need to actually build, unless you know the details it will take lots of time and effort. 

I hope wxpython build will be standardized on all Linux distributions in the near future.

To build from scratch first read the file, in the source distribution, called "README.1st.txt" in there it states:

For more details about building and installing wxWidgets and wxPython
please see this file::

      wxPython/docs/BUILD.txt

That file tells you:

Building of both wxWidgets and wxPython is now handled by the
wxPython/build-wxpython.py script in the source tree.  It takes care
of all the nasty and confusing details that used to be documented in
this file.  Pretty much all you need to worry about now is having the
build tools and dependent libraries installed on your system and
specifying where to install the results, if other than the standard
location.
:
:
To build wxPython, simply run the build script something like this::

    cd wxPython-src-2.9.0.1/wxPython
    python2.6 build-wxpython.py --build_dir=../bld

Note that you will probably need to change the 2.9.0.1 to something like 3.0.0 and python2.6 to either python2.7 or just python.  Since the prerequisites are dependant on your specific OS the simplest method is to try building and if/when it fails look for the first error message to see what was missing and install it.  Minimum prerequisites will include glib & gtk+ libraries, (make sure you get the -dev installs to have all the headers), and either OpenGL or Mesa3D, (also -dev) plus pyOpenGL.

Hope that helps - it worked for me.

Thanks Steve,

Yet you should be more specific with what worked. And there is a limit to how specific you can be - the list of dependencies may be too long. The minor changes you mention, may cause things not to work. Linux systems and versions are different. If something worked for you, this means your system had a unique set of libraries and versions that made it work. Unless you provide a copy of a VM with that system that people can reuse and reproduce, it may not work for someone else. 

Nevertheless thanks for sharing, when I needed to build, I was looking for recopies like you provided to follow. Such text helped me understand what issues I have and resolve many of them. So even though it is probably not perfect, it is good to have such reference.

Jacob,

What worked for me was an iterative process:

1. try to build
2. when it breaks look to find what is missing
   
3. install what was missing
4. goto 1 until it don't break.

As you say every version of every distro of Linux is unique to start with then every user has a different history of what they have installed so an exhaustive list of the exact dependencies would be prohibitively long, complex and difficult to maintain (unless we took the MS approach of "You WILL have the exact tools we specify and use them the way we tell you and upgrade on the day we say..."

Thanks Steve,

This is proper clarification.

You are lucky for being able to perform steps 2 and 3. Many cannot do this an need the help of people like you to build the package so it will work for them on a specific platform. This is where a simpler installation process that works pretty good on many platform helps.

The less users need to know about the library the more users the library will have. Experts can figure out a solution in most cases, yet true wizards can make it such that everyone thinks it is trivial.

I think the conda solution I mentioned before is more along these wizardry lines. It may not be perfect, yet it still allows people to build their own and even publish their own builds for different platforms. For example, you can make your own WxPython package that you build and publish it so others can install with a single conda command - even as a dependency.

I gave up attempting to build WxPython on different platforms and used the conda solution. For a new user who just wants to use WxPython for Linux, I suggest you do not try to build WxPython, one should leave the building to experts like you Steve.

Jacob,

You can always check the contents of
http://wiki.wxpython.org/CheckInstall it seems to give a reasonably
comprehensive list of actions for building wxPython 2.9.4.1 & 3.0.0.0
for Ubuntu 12.4, 12.10 & 13.10 and Debian Squeeze plus telling you how
to build your own .deb package for local distribution.

Steve

[Work]

Thanks Steve,

This is useful. If I knew of this check list a while ago it may have saved me time.

Yet compare this long list to:
1. Install anaconda
2. Type in a terminal: conda install wxpython.

Which one of the installation options would you choose?

Yet thanks for sharing this with others. It opens options for expert users and is a useful piece of documentation.
