Installing #wxwidgets 3.0.x under #gentoo , default is 2.8

If you install wxwidgets with emerge wxGTK on gentoo default is 2.8

emerge -p =x11-libs/wxGTK-3.0.2.0

add /etc/portage/package.accept_keywords

# required by =x11-libs/wxGTK-3.0.2.0 (argument)

Compiling Flamerobin with wxWidgets 3.0.x

wxWidgets 3.0.2 final is released


This is guide compiling the flamerobin version from git with wxwidgets 3.0.2 final on ubuntu 14.04/debian sid

install flamerobin dependencies

sudo apt-get build-dep flamerobin


Download source code for wxwidgets 3.0.x




tar -jxvf wxWidgets-3.0.2.tar.bz2

cd wxWidgets-3.0.2

./configure --enable-debug --enable-unicode --prefix=/opt/wxwidgets

make -j4

sudo make install


create this file /etc/ld.so.conf.d/wx3.conf


with this line /opt/wxwidgets/lib/


and run sudo ldconfig







clone flamerobin from git




./configure --with-wx-config=/opt/wxwidgets/bin/wx-config --enable-debug --prefix=/opt/flamerobin




make

make install



sudo ldconfig


/opt/flamerobin/bin/flamerobin &

Building Flamerobin for static release

To build flamerobin for static release we use wxWidgets 3.0.2 like in previous post but with the following configure option for wxWidgets

./configure --prefix=/opt/wxwidgets --disable-debug --disable-shared --enable-unicode \
--with-libjpeg=builtin --with-libtiff=builtin --with-expat=builtin \
--with-libpng=builtin --with-zlib=builtin

We build with buildin libraries for jpeg,png,tiff,zlib,expat

make -j4
make install

Download boost
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/boost/boost_1_55_0.tar.bz2
Install Boost by running the following commands:

./bootstrap.sh --prefix=/opt/boost &&
./b2 stage threading=multi link=static

Now, as the root user:

./b2 install threading=multi link=static

after that we build the flamerobin from git with debug enabled

mkdir debug
cd debug
../configure --with-wx-config=/opt/wxwidgets/bin/wx-config --with-boost=/opt/boost --enable-debug

and the following commands for a build in release configuration

mkdir release
cd release
../configure --with-wx-config=/opt/wxwidgets/bin/wx-config --with-boost=/opt/boost --disable-debug

I have used the --prefix=/opt/flamerobin and then created the tar.xz

cd /
strip /opt/flamerobin/bin/flamerobin
tar -cJvf ~/Desktop/flamerobin-0.9.3-ff8df8e-x86_64.tar.xz ./opt/flamerobin
