This is the latest version of wxPython3, which some packages still need. Please do not flag out of date just because version 4.x is out; this is intentionally a version 3.x package.

I also get the error

In file included from src/helpers.cpp:17:
include/wx/wxPython/wxPython_int.h:35:10: fatal error: wx/wx.h: No such file or directory

Regards!

Nope, it conflicts with wxwidgets3.0 because it has to build its own compatible version.

When building it searches for its same headers, so currently it needs wxwidgets3.0 in makedeps.

@Mailaender check this updated PKGBUILD.

I resolved all ABI incompatibility by building the included wxWidgets sources according to the original .spec file. Downside is that I now conflict with other wxWidgets 3.0 packages.

The problem was compiling against an incompatible wxWidgets API. I had to drop GTK 2 support as wxWidgets 3.0 as it is only built against GTK 3. We can make this a split again when the dependencies are updated.

I have no idea. I disown, since I have no need anymore.

Getting the same error when trying to build python2-wxpython3-gtk2 or python2-wxpython3-gtk3, GTK+ version doesn't matter. Also, it can be seen from the error output that GTK+2 part is probably the culprit behind this error.

We probably only need a wxwidgets3.0-gtk2 or wxwidgets3.1-gtk2 package, depending on whether this can be built at least against wxWidgets 3.1 or not.

Fails to build for me

I have the same error and could not fix it.

I tried/changed two things and gave up after that:

• Create missing /usr/bin/wx-config-gtk3 manually, although all package dependencies were met.

• Adapt the first (as in _build_gtk3()) configure script to set wx_minor_version=2 match with installed wxwidget version

After these steps, the first configure script ran without any warnings from wx-config.

But I ran in similar problems in

_build_gtk3() {
[...]
  cd wxPython
  python2 setup.py WX_CONFIG='/usr/bin/wx-config-gtk3' WXPORT=gtk3 UNICODE=1 build

I stopped here.

From my point of view I think this error is caused by a version mismatch between the installed wxwidgets version (3.2) and the wxPython version to be compiled (3.0.2). And unfortunately can only be solved with a downgrade of wxWidgets to 3.0.2.

My setup:

$ pacman -Q | grep wx
python-wxpython 1:4.1.1-3
wxwidgets-common 3.2.0-4
wxwidgets-gtk2 3.2.0-4
wxwidgets-gtk3 3.2.0-4

PS: The PKGBUILD has a typo: shabeng -> shebang

@IngoMeyer: Thanks for reporting.

Although I managed to fix that wx/wx.h: No such file or directory-error by making the build scripts use the correct variants of wx-config with correct version information, I just cannot make it build anymore against the wxwidgets-3.2 version. I think it requires wxWidgets 3.0.

I will work on that.
