Try to install FlameRobin under Slackware -current & have a "wxWindows" error.

Hello:

I am trying to install FlameRobin, a database administration tool for Firebird RDBMS. I downloaded: flamerobin-0.9.2-src.tar.gz and extracted it. When I do ./configure, I get this error msg:

Code:

checking for wx-config... no

configure: error:

                wxWindows must be installed on your system

                but wx-config script couldn't be found.



                Please check that wx-config is in path, the directory

                where wxWindows libraries are installed (returned by

                'wx-config --libs' command) is in LD_LIBRARY_PATH or

                equivalent variable and wxWindows version is 2.8.0 or above.

I tried to find wxWindows in SlackBuilds using SBOPKG but it wasn't there.

Am I doing something wrong? (like maybe I downloaded the wrong file or something)

If not, where can I find wxWindows for Slackware -current?

Thanks,

Does it perhaps mean wxWidgets? or is wxWindows something else?

It's called wxX11 on slackbuilds.org just to make matters even more confusing. ;)

Slackbuilds.org http://slackbuilds.org/result/?search=wx&sv=13.1

Search : wx >>> wxGTK ( 2.8.11 )

( wx-config -> is a link to $PREFIX/lib/wx/config/gtk2-ansi-release-2.8 )

wx names : wxWidgets, wxWindows, wxGTK, wxPython ... it's all about the same.

P.S. : wxX11 is a version 2.8.7 .

..

Thank you!

I installed wxX11.

Then I ran './configure' & received no errors. Then I ran 'make' and got these errors:

Any ideas about what is missing now?

Thanks,

This source : flamerobin_0.9.2.orig.tar.gz

... compiles OK with wxGTK version 2.8.11 .

'flamerobin-0.9.2' will also require libfbclient

I think the key is the wxGTK, not the source.

If you installed wx{Python,GTK} (and install the other deps as knudfl notes), it should work.
