Release fails to build.

[farmer_boy]

I downloaded both the release as the svn version, but they both have the same problem:
 
I installed wx-2.9 and I verified that I can build and run the demos that come with wx. I have also not been able to find a setup.h file anywhere, so why it refers to that is a mystery to me.

Platform: Ubuntu 10.10 x86-64

make -f makefile.unix
g++ -c -O2 -Wno-invalid-offsetof -Wformat -g -D__WXDEBUG__ -D__WXGTK__ -DNOPCH -DFOURWAYSSE2 -DUSE_SSL -I"/usr/local/include/wx-2.9" -I"/usr/local/lib/wx/include/gtk2-unicode-debug-static-2.9" -DGUI -o obj/util.o util.cpp

Can you fix the release?

On Fedora Linux I get that error if I build wxWidgets 2.9.1, but the error goes away if I build wxWidgets 2.9.0 which is available here:
http://biolpc22.york.ac.uk/pub/2.9.0/

I don't know whether that will solve the problem on Ubuntu also.

I got my 2.9.0 now from wxwidgets.org, removed the old installation in the correct way, but I still get the same error. From my point of view it is simply not correct C++ code in combination with the makefile.unix for Ubuntu, and I don't think Ubuntu is doing anything non-standard, that is outside of the Linux Standard Base.

You may have to edit makefile.unix to fix the include paths for wx. They are hard-coded and probably wrong for your system.

That should have given a different error message. The problem is that there is no such thing as setup.h below /usr/local/include/wx-*.

setup.h is in another location, in my case I installed wx in /opt/wx, and they were here:

INCLUDEPATHS= \
 -I"/opt/wx/include/wx-2.9" \
 -I"/opt/wx/lib/wx/include/gtk2-unicode-2.9"

For you it is probably:

INCLUDEPATHS= \
 -I"/usr/local/include/wx-2.9" \
 -I"/usr/local/lib/wx/include/gtk2-unicode-2.9"

The problem is that there is no such thing as setup.h below /usr/local/include/wx-*.

For what it's worth, on Fedora the makefile puts setup.h in /usr/local/lib, not in /usr/local/include:

Code:

/usr/local/lib/wx/include/gtk2-unicode-debug-static-2.9/wx/setup.h
/usr/local/lib/wx/include/gtk2-unicode-static-2.9/wx/setup.h
