wxGauge size issues on Arm Debian Jessie

[Parduz]

Question related to Debian Stretch with LXQT for Beaglebone Black, wxWidgets 3.0.3, GTK 3 (? i believe)


I want to get this layout

- - - wxGauges Win.png (28.76 KiB) Viewed 1496 times

(created with wxCrafter 2.0 on Windows7)

but on my Beaglebone black instead I get this

- - - wxGauges Debian.png (2.63 KiB) Viewed 1496 times

and i don't know why... and neither what to do.

This is the relevant code generated by wxCrafter:

How could i align the gauges, and set the width i need?

Hi,
What is the GTK+ version you use in both cases? Are they the same?
Can you try the simple application with the wxBoxSizer? Will it work correctly?

Thank you.

What is the GTK+ version you use in both cases? Are they the same?

I don't think so: the fist one is a screenshot of the Windows7 preview in wxCrafter (well, the compiled exe looks the same)
The second one is my app running on the BBB.
Here's what i have on the Beaglebone:

About what it uses, i don't know.
Is the config.log somewhat useful?

What it should be?

Hi,
Do you have GTK development package installed? Something like gtk-devel for the BBB.
I saw a configure test failed because it couldn't find the gtk header.

Sorry don't know what its called on Debian. I don't use this distro.

If you don't - after you install you will have to re-configure/-compile wx and your software.

BTW, you should be able to compile and run the widgets sample.

Thank you.

I guess wxGauges are not really designed to scale in two directions. Even the Windows one looks "wrong", and the GTK gauge is probably the "standard" gauge for that theme and won't scale at all in the "non-main" direction.

You either have to live with it or build your own gauge control, which should be pretty simple.
