How do I get wx/setup.h ?

[slyfox1972]

Hello!

My System is Ubuntu 7.10 and I can not compile any wxWidget Projects, it says wx/setup.h is not found.
How can I generate it or which package do I have to install?

You have to install the "-dev" packages of wxWidgets.

Code

libwxgtk2.8-dev

That install all packages that you need (with the dependences).

By the way, Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) wxWidgets packages are a bit old: "2.8.4.0-0ubuntu3", the latest stable release is 2.8.8. So I suggest you to get it from wxWidgets packages repository. For that, you have to add to your "/etc/apt/sources.list" (or go to "System->Administration->Software Sources" "Third-party Software"-tab) the following line:

Code

deb http://apt.wxwidgets.org/ gutsy-wx main

And you have to add the key for getting access to the repository. Command line:

Code

wget -q http://apt.wxwidgets.org/key.asc -O-  | sudo apt-key add -

Thank you, I have installed it, but it does not work.

The file /usr/include/wx/setup.h does not exist.

I have found a setup.h in the lib dir and set a symbolic link:

Code

ln -s /usr/lib/wx/include/gtk2-unicode-release-2.8/wx/setup.h /usr/include/wx/setup.h

But that setup.h is not ok, now the compiler brings much more errors:

Code

Did you maintain the default build options?

Did you started the project on Ubuntu?

I am on Ubuntu 8.04 and before on Ubuntu 7.10 and I never had this problem installing wxWidgets from repository.

Did you have an 'wx' environment variable?

If you use the default wxWidgets options when starting a project, it have to know the right paths.

I don't know why your project search for 'setup.h' in '/usr/include/wx/' if you have not an environment variable or bad compiler and/or linker options. And wxWidgets repository installs their include files by default in '/usr/include/wx-2.8/wx/" so I don't know why your project search for them in another location.

Can you attach the project or a sample project where this happen?
