[Bug 438365] Re: erlang should not depend on wxwidgets2.8
I agree with the other posters that this is an unfortunate situation. Is there any way to provide an alternative, non-crippled version of Erlang/OTP that includes the wx module. erlang-wx is required for some useful programs. Would it be possible to package up another erlang in universe using the alternatives system? I notice that there is a version of erlang-base with HIPE enabled, could something similar be done with wx? I would be willing to devote time to such a project and even maintain such a package if someone would be willing to mentor me. I know I could just create a PPA, but I think this would be useful to enough users that it should really be part of the Universe repos. -- erlang should not depend on wxwidgets2.8 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/438365 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 503227] Re: Erlang sudoku example fails to start
As Andrey Pampukha pointed out, this is due to a decision made back in Karmic that doesn't make sense any more. Erlang is in Universe now, so there is no reason not to compile it with support for wxWidgets. Also, there's the erlang-nox package for those who don't want to install an erlang-wx package. Is there a good reason why the maintainers can't turn this back on? Heck, if I get confirmation that it will be accepted, I'll write a patch to fix this myself. I know about the repo that Erlang Solutions provides, but it'd be nice to just be able to use the version of Erlang that is provided by Ubuntu itself. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/503227 Title: Erlang sudoku example fails to start To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/erlang/+bug/503227/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 438365] Re: erlang should not depend on wxwidgets2.8
Please disregard my last comment. I found that there is an 'erlang-dev' PPA available which I intend to use. That should pretty much take care of my erlang development needs.
