Compiling 3.1.1 under Ubuntu with debug symbols

[Widgets]

In an effort to get some issues resolved by tracing into the wxWIdgets code, I have installed wxWidgets 3.1.1 from

Code: Select all

https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/releases/tag/v3.1.1 as a zip file.

After unzipping I am trying to compile it with:

Code: Select all

 ...... /wxWidgets-3.1.1/gtk-build$ ../configure --enable-debug --prefix=$(pwd) && make -j

but I run into a show stopper with

Code: Select all

......
-I/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/freetype2 -D_GNU_SOURCE -fvisibility=hidden ../src/regex/regfree.c
make: *** No rule to make target '../src/jpeg/jaricom.c', needed by 'wxjpeg_jaricom.o'.  Stop.
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

TIA for any pointers or suggestions

Hi,

See this wxBlog post about submodules.

BTW, wx3 builds for non-Windows platforms are debug by default, so you don't actually need the --enable-debug option. However it certainly does no harm, and I suspect that using it makes the wx samples build with debug symbols too.

Regards,

David

Hi, David,
The OP said that he installed it from the ZIP and didn't cloned the repository. Which means (s)he should already have all the submodules.

To the OP:
What is an exact compiler/linker line before it is spitting the error mentioned?

Thank you.

You're right, Igor. I saw 'tag' in the url and presumed it was a git-type download.

Widgets, I just downloaded and built successfully the same tarball. You are probably missing a jpeg development lib. Either install what your distro has to offer (I think it's libjpeg-dev) or try rebuilding using the --with-libjpeg=builtin configure option

Widget,
You will probably need to install all other development packages as well that are missing on your system.

Thank you.

Thank you both.
As I have resolved my compile & trace issues with 3.1.0, I will leave 3.1.1 for another day
