I'll report some difficulty I had trying to use the WxEuphoria.
Some lines that need to be modified in the install.txt file, not to confuse the newbies like me.
"You must have installed wxWidgets 2.8, Either from your distribution's package ......"
With the file "libwxeu.so" only, the library wxEuphoria already works. The words "You must have" above, confuses the beginner who will try to install wxWidgets.
This installation is very difficult and did not seem necessary to me.
Is that correct? If not correct, write about the reason to do this installation.
It sounds like wxWidgets was already installed on your system. There are other applications that depend on it, so it's not terribly surprising.
I had another problem within the file "install.txt" in line:
"Put: wxEuphoria/include/wxeud.e into the directory ... $ EUINC on your path. "
In this case, I like the goofy, I did so:
EUINC = /home/sergio/wxEuphoria/include/wxeud.e
And, of course, does not work. The Right is:
EUINC = /home/sergio/wxEuphoria/include
Also would be nice, remember the beginner to make a new login, to reset these variables.
For now it is just that.
If you wish, I keep telling my suggestions to help beginners. But if I'm bothering you, let me know.
All of the references to $EUINC should be removed, actually. You should really be managing your include directories with eu.cfg files. Those changes take effect immediately, which is one (major, IMHO) advantage over environment variables.
Thanks for the heads up.
