How to compile under Fedora Core 14 ?

[markm]

Has anyone managed to compile wxWidgets under Fedora 14 ?

With some messing around I managed to get the command line bitcoind to compile, but nothing I can find with google helps in getting wxWidgets 2.9.0 to compile. Some suggestions about pkg-config --libs indicate some libraries are not mentioned that should be but no amount of adding them in works.

( http://groups.google.com/group/wx-users/browse_thread/thread/506221a2b84c7505/cb86f1b4247d9e50 )

wxWidgets site itself doesnt seem to really know how to compile for Fedora, one message said something was deliberately cut out way back when from git, but that is just about the pangocairo libraries and adding all them back in does not fix the problem.

You have to change the Makefile in utils/wxrc to include Pango-Cairo, Cairo and X11. Change line 35 to this

Code:

EXTRALIBS_GUI = -pthread -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -latk-1.0 -lgio-2.0 -lpangoft2-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lm -lpng12 -lpangocairo-1.0 -lcairo -lpango-1.0 -lfreetype -lfontconfig -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lgthread-2.0 -lrt -lglib-2.0 -lX11 -lXxf86vm -lSM -lpng -lz -ljpeg -ltiff

and Wx should compile.

For what it's worth, when I compiled wxWidgets under Fedora 12, it worked by exactly following the instructions in file build-unix.txt, except that I had to do the whole thing as root (not just the make install step).

I haven't compiled it under Fedora 14.

Why bother compiling it when it's in the Fedora software repository already?

Aha! I had changed the main Makefile, I didnt realise some deeper one would re-define that.

I made the fix, but that just moves along to another error:

[root@desktop buildgtk]# make

Adding -lXinerama doesnt fixes that.

So thanks! Looks like it compiled.

As to using the distribution wxWidgets, it is the wrong version, one specifically said not to work. The one required is missing, I can yum the previous one and the latest one but not the required one.

EDIT: to make bitcoin compile I also had to add all those lib specifications to the makefile.unix - maybe not all were really needed but trying to pick and choose which was too painful, putting them all in worked.
