[GRASS-dev] compile error in grass-6.4.0RC1/gui/wxpython

Otto_Dassau · December 29, 2008, 3:07pm

Dear developers,

I wanted to build GRASS 6.4.0 RC1 packages under OpenSuSE 11.0 and got errors in
grass-6.4.0RC1/gui/wxpython. I changed into the directory and tried with 'make'
again. I attached the error messages, maybe someone can have a look and help?

thanks a lot
Otto

What? As in, they renamed the module so it doesn't work?

elementtree.ElementTree (xml.etree.ElementTree in >= 2.5) is part of
the core Python library, which is expected to be installed alongside
Python.

Hi,

thanks Martin, the python-elementtree package was missing as you suggested. Now
there is the wxpython vdigit problem described in gui/wxpython/README. Hopefully
the final hurdle to clear. I get a

/usr/src/packages/BUILD/grass-6.4.0RC1/gui/wxpython/vdigit# make
...
/usr/lib/gcc/i586-suse-linux/4.3/../../../../i586-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find
-lgdi

is there a chance to have another solution for this wxpython vdigit problem,
than to create a symlink to _gdi_.so shared library? This seems to be quite
difficult to solve / implement in a spec file.

Maybe someone already has a solution for that?

kind regards,
Otto

hm, it seems to me that if you are using python <= 2.4 you need to
install python-elementtree package - at least on Debian.

the problem above occurs with opensuse 11.0 (python 2.5.2). Maybe this

Hi,

I have now changed the OpenSuSE build server from GRASS 6.3 to 6.4 RC1. As for
the version 6.3 I commented gui/wxpython/vdigit in gui/wxpython/Makefile to make
it build.

Packages are available for OpenSuSE 10.3, SLE_10, 11.0 and 11.1 i586 and x86_64.
Can you please add this change to http://grass.osgeo.org/download/index.php and
move the OpenSUSE Geo Repository link from 6.3 to 6.4?

thanks a lot
Otto

yes

Shouldn't --without.wxpython work?

would that mean wxpython gui won't be build at all? Is that a configure option?
At the moment everything should work, except wxpython gui vdigit.

Shouldn't --without.wxpython work?

if you configure '--with-widgets=no' wxVdigit and xwNviz will be not compiled.

At the moment everything should work, except wxpython gui vdigit.

wxGUI is available regardless --with-python/c++/wxwidgets. These
options are needed just for vdigit and nviz extension compilation.

currently no, see

http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/58

I still hope reasonable solution will be found before 6.4.0.

The solution is to take the wxPseudoDC code, change the name to avoid
conflicts, then add it to gui/wxpython/vdigit.

If the wxPython developers wanted you to use _gdi_.so as a normal
library, they would have named it libgdi.so.

The relevant configure options are --with-python and --with-wxwidgets.

These only affect C/C++ code which needs to use the corresponding
libraries and headers. They don't affect "pure" Python or wxPython
code which doesn't require compilation, e.g. most of the wx GUI.

Currently, --with-python is required for the SWIG bindings,
--with-wxwidgets is required for xganim, and both are required for the
vdigit and nviz modules for the wx GUI.

The situation is the same as with Tcl/Tk: if you use --without-tcltk,
you still get gis.m, d.m, d.rast.edit etc, but you don't get v.digit,
NVIZ or the form library, which all contain C code which links against
libtcl/libtk.
