    Default Compiling XaraLx on MacosX

    I follow the tutorial on how to compil XaraLx on MacosX. I'm using Tiger.
    I well compiled wxMac in 2.6.2 version as it might be.
    But when i launch the configure script of the Xara's sources, it told me that :

    checking wxWidgets version... 2.6.2
    configure: error: wxWidgets 2.6.3 or newer is required (2.6.3-rc2 will do)

    So How the tutorial made it possible to compil Xara with 2.6.2 version of wxWidget ?

    I downloaded wxWidgets 2.6.3 but i did not succeeed to compil it

    Any suggestion ?

    thanks

    Hi Pekele,

    Sorry for the confusion about versions of wxWidgets. Unfortunately our mac build instructions have been incorrect for a day or two. We have corrected the problem and the up to date instructions are now available on the web site again.

    Please refer to those instructions (last updated 21st March 2006). If you still have trouble compiling wxWidgets 2.6.3-RC2 please let us know, including more details, so that we can advise you further.

    It seems that the ./configure script has correctly identified your version of wxWidgets and is requiring a later version.

    I would recommend that you remove (first uninstalling, if necessary) your
    wxWidgets version 2.6.2, and substitute version 2.6.3.

    You could modify the configure script to accept the earlier version, but this would not seem to a good approach.

    Are you able to tell us where you went adrift? I really think that you will need to have wxWidgets version 2.6.3 before making any progress. You should try with the -rc2 download of wxWidgets 2.6.3 .

    Hi, thanks for the reply. I'm going to follow the new guide.

    I thought of changing the configure script but as you said it is not the best solution. Hopefully i did not install wxWidget. I'm just trying to compil them and leave tem as stand alone library. I guess this is what it is told in the tutorial.

    I'm going to try the 2.6.2 rc2 version and i will tell you more soon.

    thanks again

    Pekele, it is 2.6.3-rc2 that you need (not 2.6.2). I have to admit that sometimes the 2.6.3 version identifies itself as 2.6.2; but you must download and use the correct archive file!

    If you can, try to follow the instructions exactly, and we can use your experience to fill in any gaps, and make things complete and clear.

    Good luck!

    yes you are right i made a mystake while writing but i downloaded the good archive. I succeed compiling wx-widget 2.6.3 rc2. The configure script of Xara created makefiles, so i'm going to compil Xara now. I hope it will compil right. I will post the result in few hours.

    thanks again for the help

    well i'm not lucky. I have errors during the compilation process. It can not find some wx headers files :
    error: wx/wx.h: No such file or directory

    i dont't understand why since the configure script found the wxWidget libs....

    Here more details on the problem :
    -First, wxWidget seems to be well compiled since i can launch the demos.
    -The problem seems to come from a wrong path.
    When i execute :
    autoreconf -f -i -s

    no errors are encountered but a lot of warning appears.

    /sw/share/aclocal/pstoedit.m4:7: warning: underquoted definition of AM_PATH_PSTOEDIT

    and there are alot of them. It seems a problem with automake.

    Do you think theese warnings made the xaralx compilation failed ?

    Thanks

    Hi All,

    To introduce myself I was using the predecessor to Xara (Artworks - on RISCOS) before recently switching to MacOS and have loads of Artowrks diagrams and drawings I look forward to being able to have access to again.

    Following the directions provided - with few problems other than a dyslexic keyboard (not me, naturally) - I've got as far as XaraLX itself.


    version: XaraLX-0.3r714

    when I try
    ./configure --with-wx-config=/Users/simonyoung/wxWidgets-2.6.3/build-unicode-debug/wx-config

    I get:
    [loads of good looking snipped]
    checking Compiler... gcc >= 3.4.0, PreCompiled headers enabled
    checking wxWidgets version... 2.6.2
    ./configure: line 22080: syntax error near unexpected token `GTK,'
    ./configure: line 22080: ` PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GTK, gtk+-2.0)'
    Macintosh:~/XaraLX simonyoung$

    Any suggestions gratefully received.

    Kind regards,

    Hi Simon, as you can read i'm not an expert, but i'm going to give you some advise.
    It seems that it found 2.6.2 version of wxWidget. Maybe you had this version installed before you compiled 2.6.3. So, i think you'll have to uninstall it.

    Do you use fink ? I suppose you do.
    Did you installed GTK+ and the dev packages ?

    look in a terminal with this command : fink list gtk+

    If not installed them with fink .

    That's all what i can tell you. I hope it will help.

    regards
