wxWidgets-devel building error

[stanpol@…]

In the terminal I have this:

$ sudo port install wxwidgets-devel

I've checked the log and I've found this strange:

I am on Mac OS X 10.6.8. I need wxWidgets-devel to install py27-wxpython-devel. I'd like to run the new wxpython because it supports 64 bit OS.

I guess some of the libraries are for the 32 bit version and that's a problem, but I don't know how to solve it.

Any ideas? Thanks a lot!

Nothing strange there. MacPorts tried to fetch a pre-built binary of this port. None existed. Therefore it proceeded to try to fetch and compile the source.

And the final error:

...which failed. Have you already verified that none of the existing tickets about wxwidgets-devel match the problem you're seeing?

[stanpol@…]

This ticket #31054 seems to have the same error, but caused by another library, not QuickTime. It was updated just now, and I see that I have the same thing as in that ticket — Xcode 4.2 on Snow Leopard. However I don't use "clang" or I don't know that it is used.

I've checked the internet and the typical advice for this type of problems is to compile wxWidgets in 32bit mode. However, I don't know how to do it with macports. Will it work later correctly with 64 bit python?

[stanpol@…]

Just built it.

Xcode 4.2 uses new compiler called "clang" by the default. We don't need it. We need to use gcc:

sudo port clean wxwidgets-devel
sudo port -d install wxwidgets-devel configure.compiler=llvm-gcc-4.2

Thanks to the guys in #31054 ticket. This one could be closed.

But you show that you used llvm-gcc, not gcc.

[stanpol@…]

Yes, it's my fault — I used llvm-gcc I don't know the result with gcc.
