1. Ubuntu Edgy vs wxWidgets
Still gotta problem:
[quote from the wxWidgets website]
Please notice that Ubuntu packages are only currently available

[end quote]
I have Ubuntu Edgy and 32.
I tried the old fashioned way with ./configure etc.
It runs into the usual dependency problems.
Something about GTK+ development files.
I installed all the GTK development stuff that was listed
in the Synaptic Package Manager that seemed possibly relevant.
It still complains.

OK, I'll take a look at this (dl'ing an edgy vm right now). In the
mean time, you might try installing this package:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/libdevel/libwxgtk2.6-dev
Following dependencies, my guess is that you'd ultimately need the gtk+2.0
source package:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/edgy/source/gtk+2.0
It's a previous version of wxWidgets, but they probably share similar
dependencies. I saw that there's a 2.8 dev package for feisty:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/libdevel/libwxgtk2.8-dev
Once I get the vm installed, I'll try to figure out exactly what is
needed from a vanilla install.

OK, I got it to work on an Ubuntu Edgy (6.10) VMWare appliance (and this
post should be considered guide for other distros, too):
http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/directory/693
You have to have these things installed:
gcc
g++
libgtk2.0-dev
Don't try to use the Applications->Add/Remove, because it doesn't have
them. I had to go into synaptic to add these. Then do the
$ ./configure && make && sudo make install
for wxWidgets. The binary of my library didn't work, [probably] because
for whatever reason, it decided differently on whether to use the system
or wx supplied libraries for tiff and jpeg. So I had to compile from
source. There were several changes I had to make to the Makefile to get
it to build:
1. Change top_srcdir and top_builddir to point to the correct directory
2. Change the definitions of __LIB_TIPP_p and __LIB_JPEG_p to use
the wx-supplied libaries. There could be others on your system that
have the same issue, but the fix is pretty easy:
Find the _LIB_TIPP_p definition in the Makefile.
It should look something like this:
__LIB_TIFF_p \
= -ltiff
# -lwxtiff$(WXDEBUGFLAG)$(WX_LIB_FLAVOUR)-$(WX_RELEASE)$(HOST_SUFFIX)
Basically, you want it to be defined to the value that's commented out:
__LIB_TIFF_p \
= -lwxtiff$(WXDEBUGFLAG)$(WX_LIB_FLAVOUR)-$(WX_RELEASE)$(HOST_SUFFIX)
# = -ltiff
Note that thw -lwxtiff might be missing the 'wx' (my fault). If so, you
need to put it back.
Once you've made these changes:
$ make && sudo make install
...and you should be ready to go. It's not ideal, but it should at least
work for now. We need to come up with a better way to automate this
(some sort of a configure script, ideally), but I'm not sure exactly how
to go about it, so if anyone has any ideas, I'd really appreciate it.

That seemed to work.

I think I was unclear about this. You need to change the Makefile for
wxEuphoria. They should point to wherever you unpacked the source to
wxWidgets. The values there are where I have them, but you may have
done something differently.

These also were in the wxEuphoria Makefile. It's the same procedure
for __LIB_JPEG_p as for __LIB_TIFF_p.

I think the problem is that top_srcdir and top_builddir aren't set
correctly. The wxEuphoria Makefile uses these to find all of the
wxWidgets headers. If the compiler can't find them, that's how the
compiler reacts.

OK, it sounds like it wanted to use the system version of libtiff. Try
changing it back to the -ltiff way...

OK, some more Makefile tinkering, and I discovered that you don't need
to link to those at all. [slaps head]
I've streamlined the Makefile, which you can download directly from the
repository here (beware wrapping url):
http://wxeuphoria.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/wxeuphoria/wxeu/branches/wxeu280/Makefile?revision=63
There are a couple of assumptions made in this version that will be fixed
later on. I discovered the use of wx-config, which will tell you what
flags and so forth you need to have.
The ones that are interesting for the Makefile are prefix, libs and
cppflags:
$ wx-config --prefix
$ wx-config --libs
$ wx-config --cppflags
If you have problems check these three things against variables set in the
Makefile( prefix, EXTRA_LIBS_GUI and CPPFLAGS, respectively). For the
real release, I'll make sure there's a configure script that does this
for you.
Thanks for helping me figure this stuff out.

This looks like a 64-bit issue. There are some implicit assumptions,
I suppose, that we're on a 32-bit architecture. The box_int thing is
about converting a 32-bit integer to an atom (double) if it's too big
for a euphoria integer. The other cases are the same. IIRC, an int
is always 32-bits, but on a 64-bit machine, a pointer is 64-bits.
The solution isn't trivial, I think, because of the way I've got the
c calls set up, so that euphoria does the work of converting atoms
too big for integers into C_INTs. I've never worked with a 64-bit
machine, so I'm not familiar with the sorts of things that would need
to be done.

Thinking about it some more, I think part of the solution has to be making
euphoria build on a 64-bit architecture. There's not even a way for
euphoria to hold a 64-bit number in a primitive data type. An atom only
holds a double, which is itself 64 bits, but not all bits are devoted to
the mantissa.
I suppose your best bet is to see if you can get (or figure out the flags)
to get gcc to cross compile to 32-bit.

I think I am hopelessly confused.
What should these be changed to?
top_srcdir = /home/matt/euphoria/development/wxeu/wxGTK-2.8.0
top_srcdir = $(prefix)/include/wx-2.8
top_builddir = /home/matt/euphoria/development/wxeu/wxGTK-2.8.0
Where did wxGTK come from? I was using a different file.

Is wx-config supposed to be in Makefile? A search does not find it.

wxGTK was the version of wxWidgets that I had downloaded at one point. If
you installed wxWidgets (make install), then the correct values for those
variables in the Makefile should be
top_srcdir = $(prefix)/include/wx-2.8
top_builddir = $(prefix)
I should have deleted the other declarations. Those just tell the
compiler where to find certain include files.

It's actually a shell script installed by wxWidgets that reads a config
file that was also installed. The purpose is to be able to get various
parameters so that you can link against wxWidgets. Try running those
from the command line.

Hi
Adding -m32 to the CXX flags forces 32 bit compilation, and reduces the error
count. It shouldn't make a difference whether this is present or not on
32 bit machines, so try it, if it doesn't then perhaps add it (or make an
option for 64 bit machine detection)
However, it still produces a couple of errors (and I can't copy and paste on
this machine), namely
/usr/local/include/wx-2.8/wx/string.h
line 827 : wxChar& wxstring::operator[](unsigned int) cannot be overloaded
line 824 : wxChar& wxstring::operator[](size_t)
this is c++ stuff, which is hopelessly over my head. Sorry.
Nearly there!

That's weird. It's all wxWidgets stuff, which, by the way, will need
to be compiled as 32 bit, as well, which may be the problem.
I found this link,
http://www.wxwidgets.org/wiki/index.php/Compiling_WxWidgets#Linux_building_for_i386_on_an_x86_64_machine
It's semi-helpful. He mentions issues about not having 32-bit gtk.

Ok, yes it was compiled as 64 bit - will recompile with the 32 bit flags, and
get back to

Hmmm. So when you run "wx-config --prefix" it returns /usr/include? It
seems odd, because I think the default is for wxWidgets to install itself
to /usr/local rather than /usr. Do you have another version installed
(probably through your package management system)?

I think you may have another version of wxWidgets installed. Try
$ wx-config --version
I installed 2.6.3 using Synaptic to test this out. It gets put into
/usr when installed that way. If it's showing 2.6.3, try also
$ wx-config --list
It will probably show only 2.6.3. If 2.8.2 was installed in your /usr/local
path (which seems to be the default) you need to use /usr/local/bin/wx-config,
or else change your path so that /usr/local/bin is before /usr/bin.
I've made a start on using a configure script. It won't handle the case
where 2.8.2 isn't the default, but at least it's a start. You can
download directly from svn here:
http://wxeuphoria.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/wxeuphoria/wxeu/branches/wxeu280/Makefile
http://wxeuphoria.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/wxeuphoria/wxeu/branches/wxeu280/configure?revision=66
The configure script creates Makefile.gcc, which is included by Makefile
to define a few variables used in building wxEuphoria.

It returns the same response as wx-config --help

Now that I have the older version of wxEuphoria working on Ubuntu,
I'm back in production. I hope you keep that on your website.
Perhaps the problem with the new version of wxEuphoria on Ubuntu is
simply that Ubuntu doesn't yet have an easy way to install the latest
version of wxWidgets (sudo apt-get install). Perhaps that will happen
in time. If so, then the old version of wxEuphoria will do until then.

That's the issue. The problem there is that my script isn't smart enough
to pick up the wx-config in /usr/local/bin if there's already one in
/usr/bin. But, I think I've got enough information now, so I just have
to write the script. I was playing around with Ubuntu, and installed
2.6.3 through synaptic, and it gets put into /usr, so I should be able
to fix this (I'll make sure that it is by the time I officially release
this).
The new version is going to be a lot better, and it will be worth it to
make the switch...just not quite ready for prime time.

Hi
Matt
Haven't yet been able to compile a 32 bit version of wxwidgets on my 64 bit
system - my next step is to try to compile it on a 32 bit system while resolving
the almost certain dependency deficiencies.
However, I discovered a new command (on the wxwidgets site)
ldd [file]
it lists all the libraries required by an application.
ldd wxeu.so
returns a list of all the libraries reuired by this application, all present
ldd libwxeu.so
returns a list of the required libraries, of which none of the gtk2 libs can it
find. Strangely, these libraries are in /usr/local/lib.
Curiouser and curiouser. The gtk2 libs can be found, because, as I said before,
the examples in the gtk2 source package work.
My feeling is that libwxeu.so will work with the 64 bit gtk2 binaries, it just
needs a little encouragement.
