Compiling Fahmon problems

I keep trying to compile Fahmon and the problem i am having is about wxWidgets. I compiled and installed the latest wxWidgets yet the configure script from Fahmon tells me it cannot find it in the proper library path. I checked ld.so.conf and seen that /usr/local/lib and /usr/lib64 are listed in there. I ran ldconfig as well.

Here is the error im getting and proof to show that i have 2.8.8 installed.

checking dependency style of g++… gcc3
checking for wx-config… /usr/local/bin/wx-config
checking for wxWidgets version >= 2.8.0… no
configure: error:
wxWidgets must be installed on your system.

            Please check that wx-config is in path, the directory
            where wxWidgets libraries are installed (returned by
            'wx-config --libs' or 'wx-config --static --libs' command)
            is in LD_LIBRARY_PATH or equivalent variable and
            wxWidgets version is 2.8.0 or above.

unimatrix:~/FahMon-2.3.2b # wx-config --version
2.8.8
unimatrix:~/FahMon-2.3.2b #

any ideas?

OS: openSuSE 64bit 11

Hi
You probably need the devel version installed as well.

when compiling wxWidgets from source you would have the binary installed as well as the libraries. :confused:

Ty for the reply though…this has me confused.

Hi
Missed the bit where you compiled the wx-Widgets. Have you tried adding
the option to tell it where the libraries are? See ./configure --help
and that should give you an option to tell it where wx-Widgets is eg
–libdirs=/usr/lib64

Hi
Why not uninstall the wxWidgets you compiled from source and try the
rpms from openSUSE Search including the
devel one from the Application:Geo repository (Best to add it to
pickup any dependencies, which seem to be a few…(compat, gl,
gl-compat etc)

The error I got was “checking for wx-config… no” Once installed as
above configured without issues.

Thank you for all your help but i solved the solution. Suse 11 doesnt come standard with wxwidgets with unicode support. Actually you cant find the rpm for it.

I compiled the latest version of wxwidgets 2.8.8 with the --enable-unicode support flag and then installed it. Fahmon is compiling as i type this :slight_smile:

for more information: #143 (Building of fahmon2.3.2b fails on openSUSE 10.3 (x86_64) using wxWidget version 2.8.0) - FahMon - Trac](http://trac.fahmon.net/ticket/143)

Hi
Glad you have it sorted. I would like to make a comment though re the
rpms, I had a look at the src spec file, it does enable unicode as
long as using gtk2. So I would guess if you built from the src rpm
all should be enabled.

ty for the reply…just for the record though i used the source tarball. I never did like source rpms.
