Hi,

There are certain resource files and a special application package structure necessary on Mac OS. A default Linux makefile won't work. This post contains a makefile template for compiling apps on Mac OS.

HTH, Chris

wxWidgets needs some work on that area. It is frustrated when wxGTK is already installed for 2.6.1 that there is no way to specify an alternative wxGTK. I do not know how the versions are resolved in Linux for seperate libraries, but it's worth looking at. Hi Jorgen, I'm far from being a Linux guru...

Sounds like simply a bug in gdb. You could try to install a newer version of gdb. There's a snapshot version (6.3.1) available at MinGW's download page:

You can't, just like you can't compile Mac binaries on Linux.
The only cross compiling that works and I know of is compiling for Windows on Linux.

Can't you suspend the process in gdb when it hangs?
I know your desktop is blocked, but couldn't you run the app in a ssh session w/ X11 forward? That way you should still be able to ctrl-z the session in gdb.

This seems to be a problem with executing, not compiling, if I read correctly. It looks like /usr/local/lib - where the wx libraries are installed to - isn't in the library search path of fc5. Try adding the line "/usr/local/lib" (without quotes) to /etc/ld.so.conf (that file is a list of ...

I think SuperPat meant compiling executables for Mac on Linux -- that's what cross compiling is all about. wx' whole purpose is to be source compatible on different platforms, that's the easy part. Back to the question: I don't know of a way to do this. It would be great if it was possible, but I do...

Hi,

I recommend running the app in gdb and posting a backtrace showing where exactly the hanging occurs.

If it works with Visual C++ in Unicode mode, then it's indeed an Unicode issue. Installing a Unicode devpack for wxDevCpp should make it work there, too. I honestly don't know why you are getting this error message, so I propose you ask for help in the wxDevCpp subforum on this board.

Good luck!

If you are using a vanilla wxDevcpp install then you are using an ANSI build. Download and install the Unicode release devpak from this thread and then try again.

Is wxWidgets compiled in Unicode mode?
How did you build it or which package do you use?

Hi Jamie,

Yes, this is fixed for me in HEAD by your changes in datetime.cpp.

Many thanks for your time!

Hi eco, I've been thinking of a copy ctor issue, too, but wxDateTime *now=&wxDateTime::Now(); textctrl->AppendText(now->Format(_T("%x %X: ")+somestring); works as intended without calling a copy ctor, so it can't be related to that. And thanks for looking into this and posting to wx-de...

Whoa...you are right. I don't understand this at all. What's the big difference between wxDateTime now = wxDateTime::Now(); textctrl->AppendText(now.Format(_T("%x %X: ")+somestring); and textctrl->AppendText(wxDateTime::Now().Format(_T("%x %X: ")+somestring); except that one uses...

Hi Phoenix_pl,

It's good to know I'm not the only one having this problem. Are you using wxMSW, too?
I guess it's time to post a bug to the tracker...

Chris

edit: I'm sorry, but I fail to see why that should lead to a different behaviour. It's sematically identical to the call in my first post.
