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 Please do not flag out of date just because version 4.x is out; this is intentionally a version 3.x package.

Compiling the package fails for me:

Is this related to the restructuring of wxWidgets packages in the official repos?

All these wx things are basically broken. Some needs a newer version, some needs the old one. A long chain of dependency made it impossible to even switch from old to new or new to old, without uninstalling nearly the OS

@lfom, thanks for mentioning.

I now have added gstreamer0.10-base to the dependencies.

Regarding building for GTK2 and GTK3: It is correct, this is a split package. The way how makepkg works, when building a split package (i.e. a $pkgbase which contains both the GTK2 and the GTK3 package), everything gets build, but after building sub-packages can be installed selectively.

Solution would be providing two seperate packages, but since everything is almost the same for both variants I decided to make it into one PKGBUILD which generated two packages.

@dreieck Thank you for maintaining the package. gstreamer0.10 is not enough, I had to install gstreamer0.10-base manually in order to be able to build it successfully. But even if I pick the GTK3 version it seems to build for GTK2:

==> Starting build()...
  -> Building for GTK2 ...
...
checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.6.0... yes (version 2.24.33)
checking if GTK+ is version >= 2.18... yes

Thanks, @ShareDVI, for reporting.

I added gstreamer0.10 as dependency.

Missing dependency on gstreamer0.10-base, I think

checking for GST... configure: WARNING: GStreamer 0.10 not available, falling back to 0.8 checking for GST... configure: WARNING: GStreamer 0.8/0.10 not available. configure: error: GStreamer not available ==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build(). Aborting...

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 Please do not flag out of date just because version 4.x is out; this is intentionally a version 3.x package.

Adopted the orphaned package and incorporated -Werror-related changes to the $CFLAGS and $CXXFLAGS by

  # Disable build flag that's causing build to fail.
  CFLAGS+=' -Wno-error=format-security'
  CXXFLAGS+=' -Wno-error=format-security'
  export CFLAGS
  export CXXFLAGS

To be safe, I also added -Wno-error-statements for other warnings I encountered.

Note that those changes need to go after the ./configure call.

Also, python2-setuptools was a needed makedependency.

I transformed it to a split package providing a GTK2 and a GTK3 variant.

Regards!
