    Hmmm, can't seem to find this unofficial version. On my system (MX Linux 18) libwxbase3.0-0v5 is installed.

    Any ideas, fix..?

    Hi,

    I make 'unofficial' builds of wxWidgets, mostly to build a different program, the CodeLite IDE. So to answer the "Where is it?" question, see https://wiki.codelite.org/pmwiki.php/Main/WxWidgets30Binaries (there's also https://wiki.codelite.org/pmwiki.php/Main/WxWidgets31Binaries or one of its links).

    But, as you imply, 4Pane normally uses the distro's wxWidgets packages. A quick look at the MX repo page suggests it tracks debian stable, and so should have an official 4pane package that depends on the official libwxbase3.0 and libwxgtk3.0-gtk3. However I have no MX experience so I may be wrong.

    Where did you get the 4Pane binary that you're trying to run?
    Or are you building from source? If so, any libwx3* install should work (though you'll need the -dev packages too).

    Regards,

    David

    The binary I tried to install that threw the error is the .deb from:
    https://www.4pane.co.uk/6.0/debian/pool/x11/4/4pane/4pane_6.0-1unofficial.stretch_amd64.deb
    linked from the page (tried both buster and stretch - both threw the error RE: "libwxbase3.0.0-unofficial")

    I see what you mean about stretch; it's confirmed by dpkg -I.
    I must have had 'alternatives' point to the wrong wxWidgets install when I built the stretch package. The buster and ubuntu packages are OK though.

    Thank you for reporting it. I've added a note about needing the extra repo to the 'Getting 4Pane' page.

    4Pane is working great and I much appreciate your work.

    I'm glad you like it!
