Hi all, I've gotten a more stable build of wxPython 3.0.2 and wxWidgets 3.0.4 to build now. wxPython is now also built against the version of wxWidgets that is installed on the system, avoiding ABI mismatch warnings and strange behaviour/freezes hat I was experiencing before.
The test packages can be downloaded from https://hamishmb.com/files/cygwin-temp/. I say "various other packages", because building wxPython also builds the following packages: libwx_baseu3.0_0, libwx_gtk3u3.0-devel, python-wxversion, libwx_baseu3.0-devel, python2-wx, libwx_gtk2u3.0_0, python2-wxversion, libwx_gtk2u3.0-devel, python-wx3.0, wxWidgets3.0-debuginfo, libwx_gtk3u3.0_0, python-wx-tools The build process is a bit strange because wxPython 3.0.2 ships with wxWidgets 3.0.2 instead of the system version (3.0.4), so my build script downloads and re-patches the wxWidgets source before proceeding with the build. As a result of using wxWidgets 3.0.4 instead of 3.0.2, many patches are no longer needed as they were included upstream. Removed patches and the reason for removal are listed at the end of this email. I've probably got some of this wrong, but it does seem to work well at least :) I eagerly await feedback - I'm sure there's some stuff I could improve in this packaging, and I'm excited to soon be maintaining some Cygwin packages. Patches removed and the reasons why: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/wxGTK3.git/plain/wxGTK3-3.0.2-abicheck.patch - No longer needed as we're now using the same ABI for runtime and build versions. http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/wxGTK3.git/plain/wxGTK3-3.0.2-upstreamfixes.patch - No longer needed in new wxwidgets source - already applied. http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/wxGTK3.git/plain/wxGTK3-3.0.2-getbestsize.patch - No longer needed in new wxwidgets source - already applied. http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/wxGTK3.git/plain/wxGTK3-3.0.2-media-docs.patch?h=f25 - No longer needed in new wxwidgets source - already applied. http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/wxGTK3.git/plain/wxGTK3-3.0.2-size-alloc-fix.patch - No longer needed in new wxwidgets source - already applied. http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/wxGTK3.git/plain/wxGTK3-3.0.2-font-enumerator-stop.patch - No longer needed in new wxwidgets source - already applied. http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/wxGTK3.git/plain/wxGTK3-3.0.2-init-from-font.patch: - No longer needed in new wxwidgets source - already applied. http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/wxGTK3.git/plain/wxGTK3-3.0.2-gtk-show-uri1.patch - No longer needed in new wxwidgets source - already applied. http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/wxGTK3.git/plain/wxGTK3-3.0.2-draw-elliptic-arc-crash.patch - No longer needed in new wxwidgets source - already applied. http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/wxGTK3.git/plain/wxGTK3-3.0.2-fix-percent-dnd2.patch - No longer needed in new wxwidgets source - already applied. http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/wxGTK3.git/plain/wxGTK3-3.0.2-scrolwin-sizing-loop.patch - No longer needed in new wxwidgets source - already applied. http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/wxGTK3.git/plain/wxGTK3-3.0.2-background-color.patch?h=f25 - No longer needed in new wxwidgets source - already applied. http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/wxGTK3.git/plain/wxGTK3-3.0.2-paint-clipping-region.patch?h=f25 - No longer needed in new wxwidgets source - already applied. http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/wxGTK3.git/plain/wxGTK3-3.0.2-wxpgchoicesdata-protected-destructor.patch?h=f25 - No longer needed in new wxwidgets source - already applied. http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/wxGTK3.git/plain/wxGTK3-3.0.2-check-radio-button-rendering.patch?h=f25 - No longer needed in new wxwidgets source - already applied. http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/wxGTK3.git/plain/wxGTK3-3.0.2-blank-menubar-toolbar.patch?h=f25 - No longer needed in new wxwidgets source - already applied. The few remaining wxGTK* patches: - No longer apply without error and don't seem to be needed with the newer wxwidgets version. Hamish McIntyre-Bhatty
