| imule-1.4.6 won't build from source |

Source tarball downloaded from here:
link: http://echelon.i2p/imule/1.4.6/iMule_1.4.6_src.tbz
The following is the result of running configure without any arguments:
| Code: |
checking for wxWidgets version >= 2.8.7... no
configure: error:
wxWidgets must be installed on your system but wx-config
script couldn't be found. Please check that wx-config is
in path or specified by --with-wx-config=path flag, the
directory where wxWidgets libraries are installed (returned
by 'wx-config --libs' command) is in LD_LIBRARY_PATH or
equivalent variable and wxWidgets version is 2.6.0 or above.
|
But:
| Code: |
$ wx-config --libs
-pthread -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lwx_gtk2u_richtext-2.8 -lwx_gtk2u_aui-2.8 -lwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.8 -lwx_gtk2u_qa-2.8 -lwx_gtk2u_html-2.8 -lwx_gtk2u_adv-2.8 -lwx_gtk2u_core-2.8 -lwx_baseu_xml-2.8 -lwx_baseu_net-2.8 -lwx_baseu-2.8
$ wx-config --version
2.8.10
|
I run Slackware Linux 13.1 (32-bit)
Feel free to ask for additional details if you find these incomplete.
Error message is doubled at link: http://paste.i2p2.i2p/show/492/ |

Maybe you should try --with-wx-config=/usr/X11R6/lib ?
Often also a --enable-optimize --disable-debug works but don't ask me why 
Good luck

I know that /usr/X11R6/lib looks a bit weird, but in Slackware Linux it's just a symlink to /usr/lib
Specifying explicitly --with-wx-config=/usr/X11R6/lib doesn't help, as well as specifying the path as /usr/lib.
Adding --enable-optimize --disable-debug options doesn't help as well.
In all these scenarios the configure script still fails to detect wx.
I have a pretty strong reason to claim that I DO HAVE wxWidgets installed, because:
- I have downloaded this simple hello world example: link: http://www.wxwidgets.org/docs/tutorials/hworld.txt
- I have followed compiling instructions at link: http://www.wxwidgets.org/docs/tutorials/hello.htm
As suggested there, I used the following command line to compile the example:
| Code: | | g++ hworld.cpp `wx-config --libs` `wx-config --cxxflags` -o hworld |
The trivial wx program indeed COMPILES and RUNS! |

Binding libs to a c source which it doesn't need nor use does not proove anything.
Maybe there is a wx*dev package or the like containing those header files or whatever is needed needed for compiling at your slackware system? |

Slackware doesn't split packages into <appname>.package and <appname-dev>.package.
What about this? Does the following qualify as proof that wx is installed?

Also, since you rejected my above example with a trivial wx app, which other apps that deppend on wx could I try to build? I have only robert, which is wxPython (based on wxWidgets) and which works. |

Try xCHM. |

xchm-1.14
I build from source.
configure succeeds without me passing to it any additional wx-specific command line arguments.
xchm compiles and runs fine.
Relevant snippet from the output of configure:
| Code: |
checking for wx-config... /usr/bin/wx-config
checking for wxWidgets version >= 2.6.0... yes (version 2.8.10)
checking for wxWidgets static library... no
Warning: --rezflags, along with Mac OS classic resource building is deprecated. You should remove this from your Makefile and build .app bundles instead.
checking whether build environment is sane... yes

I made some progress, but imule still fails to build.
Here is my workflow:
1. extract source from the tarball
2. edit the file configure.in:
find line
| Code: | | AM_PATH_WXCONFIG(2.8.7, wxWin=1,,$wxHost $wxDebug $wxStatic) |
change it to
| Code: | | AM_PATH_WXCONFIG(2.8.7, wxWin=1, $wxHost $wxDebug $wxStatic) |
3. Generate the new configure file, by running:
| Code: | | $ autoconf configure.in > configure |
4. Make it executable:
| Code: | | $ chmod +x configure |
5. Run it:
The check for wxWidgets passes:
| Code: | | checking for wxWidgets version >= 2.8.7... yes (version 2.8.10) |
6. Run make:
| Code: | | $ nice -n 19 make 2>&1 | tee make.log |
make compiles stuff for a while, then fails with a huge error log (hence the use of tee to capture the output).
You can download the compressed log from link: http://oregano.i2p/uploads/3270299832002363244.bz2 |

Interesting. Instead of manually editing configure.in, you might try running autoreconf, then do the standard ./configure --foo invocation.
As for your build log, all those undefined references suggest that the wxWidgets API required by iMule is different than the one presented by your installed wxWidgets, even though the configure check passes. Maybe you've got some compatibility headers for earlier (or later?) versions of wxWidgets installed? |

Update:
I have repeated the whole process one more time, adding the options
| Code: | | --enable-optimize --disable-debug |
to configure as suggested above.
It seemed to work.
I'll try running imule now and see what happens. |
