wxWdidgets 2.8.0

Hi !

When vlc will compile with newest wxWidgets 2.8 ?

For now I have (20061224 snapshot version):

Code: Select all

configure: error: You need wxWidgets of the 2.6 branch. Please upgrade and try again.

I don't know is that matter, but I have wxWidgets 2.8 compiled with 2.6 compatibility...

you can try editing VLC's configure.ac to make it work with 2.8 too (and post a patch here once you've got it working)

Sorry, but I'm not a programmer...

I tried to do something with configure.ac, especially with this:

Code: Select all

  # look for wx-config
  AC_PATH_PROG(WX_CONFIG, ${WXWIDGETS_NAME}, no, ${WXWIDGETS_PATH})
  if test "${WX_CONFIG}" != "no" -a "${CXX}" != ""
  then
    if expr 2.6.0 \> `${WX_CONFIG} --version` >/dev/null ||  expr 2.7.0 \<= `${WX_CONFIG} --version` >/dev/null
    then
      AC_MSG_ERROR([You need wxWidgets of the 2.6 branch. Please upgrade and try again. Alternatively you can also configure with --disable-wxwidgets.])

but it didn't work...

and other parts of code are too much incomprehensible for me...

I love vlc, but for some reasons, I had to upgrade wxWidgets to 2.8.0...

Maybe some advices how to make it work ?

-----------------
EDIT

OK, I have dealed with first part of that post
It's just in snapshot sources of vlc, where is "configure" I had to change few things in "configure", not "configure.ac", but in SVN version (where configure isn't - have to bootstrap), I first had to change those things in configure.ac ..

And.. it went great, configure went without a problem..

But after few minutes of compilation I have :

Code: Select all

Any ideas ?

Looks like 2.8 isn't 2.6 compatible.

kemro · Postby **kemro** » 31 Dec 2006 13:34

So.. it's not possible for me to have vlc with wx2.8.0 now, right ? :/

Are you going to make vlc compatible with wx 2.8.0 in next time ?

dionoea · Postby **dionoea** » 31 Dec 2006 16:10

We're dropping the wx widgets interface.

kemro · Postby **kemro** » 01 Jan 2007 22:16

Hmm..

Will vlc work without wxWidgets (I mean compilation without wxWidgets - ./configure --disable-wxwidgets) ?

-------------
EDIT

OK, I compiled without wxWidgets, but it's useless only with skins2..

For what will you drop wxWidgets and when can we expect that ?

0.9.0 will be still with wx, or with something new already ?

Postby **Jean-Baptiste Kempf** » 02 Jan 2007 12:14

Ok. There is a patch on the ml for wx 2.8.0 support.

VLC supports wx 2.6.3.
And VLC 0.9.0 will be using a Qt interface.
We will drop Wx for a lot of reasons, that I can explain, if you really want it.

I can't find patch for wx 2.8.0 on ml...

I tried google and browse december devel list...

Can you give me link to the patch ?

I don't need explanation for dropping wx for qt, because it's very good choice IMO, I don't like wxWidgets and love qt interface !

Is there already working qt interface in svn ?
And.. will it be for qt4 only, or for qt3 too ?

It's Qt4-only, and it's not quite ready for prime time as of today.

Try to install the development package for wx 2.6 from your distribution. It should not prevent wx 2.8 software from running. Otherwise, blame the WxWidgets developpers for having insane API upgrades.

kemro · Postby **kemro** » 05 Jan 2007 12:04

I had development wx 2.6 before.. but it has too much bugs...

For example, amule was almost useless for me with wx 2.6, only now with 2.8 I can normally use it..

And yes.. I blame wxWidgets... :/

What with that patch for wx 2.8 ?
Does it work ?
Can you give me link to it ?

We're dropping the wx widgets interface.

What interface is being planned to be used?

Thanks,

V1rt

From this very thread

VLC supports wx 2.6.3.
And VLC 0.9.0 will be using a Qt interface.
