Hi,

I am trying to build wxPython 3.0.1.1 on Solaris 11.

It seems to choose Motif as its widget interface. I do have Motif libraries
(pkg:/library/motif) installed.

The first significant error is:

"/workspace/tpcook/build/wxPython-3.0.1.1/build.solaris.sparc/include/wx/chkconf.h",
line

: cannot find include file: "wx/motif/chkconf.h"

I concur with this as the directory found via the include dirs (-I) that
would be relevant only contains a "setup.h".

The full output of python build-wxpython.py is attached.

Any clues/pointers appreciated.

Cheers,
Tim

Wow! is anyone stil using Motif these days? More to the point, is the
wx-motif well maintained? I'd check on that.

But you are probably better of using wxGTK anyway, unless you need to build
Motif-compatible apps. There has got too be be a way to force that.

@Chris:

So GTK 2.20.1 is present on my Solaris 11 system - can anyone tell me how
to get the wxPython build to use it and not motif?

Thanks,
Tim

I did a bit of snooping and it seems the default type of config for
Linux/Unix is "gtk2".

Is there a way to tell whether the attempted config/build went ahead with
this default and did not instead choose "x11", which is reported to not
work?

Thanks,
Tim

Did more snooping - what do I modify so that build-wxpython.py calls
configure with "--with_gtk"?

I'm no expert, but in build_options.py I see:
WXPORT="gtk2"

and in some of the other files I see 'port' being used as a variable
