wxWidgets for Debian ==================== The following packages are built from the wxWidgets source: libwxbase3.0- wxBase runtime shared libraries libwxbase3.0--dbg detached debugging symbols for libwxbase3.0- libwxbase3.0-dev extra files required for building wxBase apps libwxgtk3.0- wxGTK runtime shared libraries libwxgtk3.0--dbg detached debugging symbols for libwxgtk3.0- libwxgtk3.0-dev extra files required for building wxGTK apps libwxgtk-media3.0- wxGTK runtime shared libraries for wxMediaCtrl - these are in a separate package as they pull in a lot of large dependencies libwxgtk-media3.0--dbg detached debugging symbols for libwxgtk-media3.0- libwxgtk-media3.0-dev extra files required for building wxGTK apps using wxMediaCtrl libwxgtk-webview3.0- wxGTK runtime shared libraries for wxWebView - these are in a separate package as they pull in a lot of large dependencies libwxgtk-webview3.0--dbg detached debugging symbols for libwxgtk-webview3.0- libwxgtk-webview3.0-dev extra files required for building wxGTK apps using wxWebView wx-common common helper files and support applications. wx3.0-headers common header files for building wxWidgets apps wx3.0-examples wxWidgets demos and samples (source) wx3.0-i18n message catalogs for native language support Note that static libraries are no longer supplied in these packages. Please read, or have understood: http://people.redhat.com/drepper/no_static_linking.html among others before reporting this as a bug. Notable changes from the wxwidgets2.8 packages ---------------------------------------------- In the wxwidgets2.8 packaging, there were -dbg packages which contained binaries built with __WXDEBUG__ and -g. Upstream now enable __WXDEBUG__ by default, so the 3.0 -dbg packages just contain detached debugging symbols. For more information on the upstream __WXDEBUG__ changes since 2.8, please see: http://docs.wxwidgets.org/3.0.0/overview_debugging.html In the 2.8 packaging, the HTML docs were packaged in wx2.8-doc. There's currently no corresponding wx3.0-doc - for now you can fetch these docs from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/wxwindows/files/3.0.0/wxWidgets-3.0.0-docs-html.tar.bz2/download Cross-compiling with mingw32 ---------------------------- The following binary packages can be built from the source package with the mingw32 cross compiler, but are not distributed as a part of the main Debian distribution. Please do *not* file bug reports for these packages to the Debian BTS. But do feel free to email me personally if you find problems and/or have patches to fix them. libwxmsw-dev mingw32-cross wxMSW libs. wx-headers-msw extra headers needed for wxMSW. You can build these extra packages using the binary-cross target in debian/rules. -- Olly Betts Wed, 21 May 2014 03:39:14 +0000
