[Matplotlib-users] wxPython.h: No such file or directory

From: Nils W. <nw...@me...> - 2005-09-08 07:09:10

Hi all,

I am trying to build matplotlib from cvs on SuSE 9.1.

python setup.py build results in

src/_wxagg.cpp:55:34: wx/wxPython/wxPython.h: No such file or directory
src/_wxagg.cpp: In member function `Py::Object
_wxagg_module::convert_agg_to_wx_image(const Py::Tuple&)':

this function)

Where can I find wxPython.h ?

Summary     : Cross Platform GUI Toolkit for Python Using wxGTK
Description :
wxPython is a GUI toolkit for Python that is a wrapper around the
wxWidgets C++ GUI library.  wxPython provides a large variety of window
types and controls, all implemented with a native look and feel (and
native runtime speed) on the platforms it is supported on.

Additional documentation is available in package python-wxGTK-doc and
demos and examples are in package python-wxGTK-examples.

It's included in SuSE 9.3 at least. It might have been left out of the
9.1 release, but you'll have to take that up with SuSE.

could that one be in a corresponding python-wxGTK "-dev" package?

(For debian sarge it was necessary to download
the source package and copy the corresponding files
from  wx/wxPython/ to the right place)

Best,

Have you installed python-wxGTK-devel as well? The include files should be 
there. Btw. the rpm packages from wxpython.org work without problems on SuSE and 
are more recent than those shipped.

On 9.2 I'm using those:

wxPython2.6-gtk2-unicode-2.6.1.0-1_py2.3
wxPython2.6-devel-gtk2-unicode-2.6.1.0-1_py2.3
wxPython-common-gtk2-unicode-2.6.0.1-1_py2.3

There aren't any for SuSE, I'm using the RH9 ones.

Nils, if you don't specifically want the wxagg animated blit
functionality (as described here
http://www.scipy.org/wikis/topical_software/Animations), you can set
'BUILD_WXAGG = 0' in setup.py.  Otherwise, you'll need to get the
devel headers as others have suggested.

Kevin, Do you think it would be possible to make the BUILD_WXAGG logic
a little smarter so that it doesn't kill the build process?  Or
perhaps set BUILD_WXAGG to False by default.  I'm afraid this one will
bite a lot of people who have wxpython installed but not the devel
headers (as noted in previous discussions, the debian devel packages
appear broken with respect to wxPython.h).

I will review buildext.py and see if I can add a check for the presence 
of `wxPython.h'.  For now, you should probably set BUILD_WXAGG to False 
by default.

Maybe I should get this Kevin guy to help  ;-)

I'm working with Ron Lee to get that fixed.  It looks like it may be an 
upstream issue, in that the wxPython distutils script doesn't even try 
to install the headers.  It probably won't be a hard fix, once I've 
made sure I understand the problem.

John,

I just submitted a (lightly tested) patch to sourceforge which tries to 
detect that wxPython.h is missing.  This situation is handled the same 
way a missing `wx-config' is, in that the build is only killed when 
BUILD_WXAGG is True (as opposed to just emitting a message when it's 
"auto").

OK, I just committed this.  There was a minor correction

    flags = getoutput(wxconfig + ' --cppflags').split()
