I'm consistently getting a wxwidgets compile error in SVN

[johnclubvec]

wxGTK-2.6.2

This is the error message I've been getting in SVN:

if g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../.. -DSYS_LINUX -I../../../include `top_builddir="../../.." ../../../vlc-config --cxxflags plugin wxwidgets` -Wsign-compare -Wsign-compare -Wall -pipe -MT libwxwidgets_plugin_a-open.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/libwxwidgets_plugin_a-open.Tpo" \

then mv -f ".deps/libwxwidgets_plugin_a-open.Tpo" ".deps/libwxwidgets_plugin_a-open.Po"; \
else rm -f ".deps/libwxwidgets_plugin_a-open.Tpo"; exit 1; \

you need to have a unicode version of wxWidgets

[johnclubvec]

Thanks for the reply. In that case, you might consider changing the ./configure warning regarding that situation. At present, configure detects the absence of unicode support in wxwidgets, but does not state that compilation will be impossible without it.

why not adding not-unicode support?

it isn't too difficult..just wxChar play

replace
char *psz_device = const_cast<char *>(tmp_buf.data());

with

char *psz_device = (char*) tmp_buf;

there are 3 occurrences.

works on ansi system, please test on unicoded too, so it can be applied upstream.

Thanks
