wxwidgets for Debian ---------------------- The following packages are built from the wxWidgets CVS source. libwxbase wxBase runtime shared libraries libwxbase-dev extra files and static libs for building wxBase apps libwxbase-dbg wxBase libraries built with -g and __WXDEBUG__ libwxgtk wxGTK runtime shared libraries, including selected contrib libs. libwxgtk-dev extra files required for building wxGTK apps libwxgtk-dbg wxGTK libraries built with -g and __WXDEBUG__ python-wxgtk Python binding to wxGTK (from 2.2.3 onward, this obsoletes the libwxgtk-python-contrib package as all python modules are built into a single monolith) python-wxversion The wxversion.py version selector, new to wxPython2.6 python-wxtools The ancillary tools from the wxPython distribution. wx-common common helper files and support applications. wx-headers common header files for building wxWidgets apps wx-doc HTML version of the wxWidgets manual wx-examples wxWidgets and wxPython demos and samples (source) wx-i18n message catalogs for native language support Note that static libraries are no longer supplied in these packages. Please read, or have understood: http://people.redhat.com/drepper/no_static_linking.html among others before reporting this as a bug. The following binaries can be built from the source package with the mingw32 cross compiler, but are not distributed as a part of the main Debian distribution. Please do *not* file bug reports for these packages to the Debian bts. But do feel free to email me personally if you find problems and/or have patches to fix them. libwxmsw-dev mingw32-cross wxMSW libs. libwxmsw-dbg mingw32-cross wxMSW (debug) libs. wx-headers-msw extra headers needed for wxMSW. You can build these extra packages using the binary-cross target in debian/rules. It is also possible to build a python-wxgtk-dbg package. There are some limitations (like this package cannot be installed concurrently with the release version), but some developers may find such a thing useful in any case. It will transparently replace the release package for installed apps that depend on the release package, but should NEVER be used when preparing packages for upload. This package may be created from the source using the binary-dbg-py target in debian/rules. (note that doing this will also destroy any release build that exists in the same tree, they cannot coexist there either yet) Finally, because all of these packages can take quite some time to build, the source package supports the use of distcc. The package builds will automatically parallelise to suit the number of hosts you have listed in DISTCC_HOSTS. This will work for both native and cross builds of the c++ libraries, if you have the relevant compilers on all your build hosts. You may override that heuristic by setting the CONCURRENCY_LEVEL environment variable to the number of jobs you wish make to fork. That variable is also supported by the kernel-package scripts and is respected for consistency here. wxPython builds cannot be parallelised at this stage and will run serially regardless of your configuration. -- Ron Lee <ron@debian.org>, Sun, 13 Feb 2000 18:40:00 +1030
