Re: [Vxl-maintainers] New wxWidgets toolkit

[Miguel A. Figueroa-V. <mi...@ie...>]

Hello Gehua,

Yes, I've been watching the dashboard, and first it was breaking at
the configuration step because of an older version of cmake probably.
I think I fixed this and that is why it went through last night to
compiling the sources... now the problem is, as you suggest, an older
version of wxWidgets than the one I'm using (2.6.3, I guess its not
hard to find something older than that ;) ).

I already downloaded a version of wxWidgets 2.5.3 and 2.4.2. I'll
"take a crack at" making the code compatible to these versions which
might still be popular, before deciding to deprecate them. I'll try to
fix this asap, but if you want to turn it off temporarily you can add
VGUI_USE_WX:BOOL=OFF to the CTEST_INITIAL_CACHE in the ctest script
your using.

Now, I have no idea if the FindwxWidgets module is working correctly
in the unix platforms... I copied this and made a few changes from the
cmake distributed FindwxWindows.cmake module, but I don't currently
use this platform so I can't test it. It seems it is doing the right
thing, but I would appreciate it if you can send me (off-list maybe)
the CMakeCache.txt so that I can inspect it.
