py27-wxpython30 @ 2.9.0.4 build failure

[ci42]

After the recent update of wxWidgets30 py27-wxpython30 fails to build, see the error in the attached log file. The ​binary packages are broken as well. If rev-upgrade is enabled the package rebuild fails with the same error.

It probably fails due to mismatch between wxWidgets 2.9.5 and wxPython 2.9.4.0. The error is

src/osx_cocoa/_windows_wrap.cpp:13334:50: error: too many arguments to function call, expected 2, have 3
	    result = (bool)(arg1)->SashHitTest(arg2,arg3,arg4);
	                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~           ^~~~

and the third argument has recently been removed. It would probably help if wxPython 2.9.5.0 would be released soon, else some patching is definitely needed.

Has duplicate #40008.

Since wxWidgets 2.9.5 is not compatible with wxPython 2.9.4, can someone revert the former's ports to their prior states (2.9.4) so that the latter ports are no longer broken? Then, once both are available @2.9.5 they can both be updated together? This way of doing WX things seems reasonable to me, and IIRC has worked in the distant past.

It's easy to revert wxWidgets back to 2.9.4, but I would be a lot more grateful for feedback on the following ports

• graphics/wxPython-3.0
• python/py-wxpython-3.0
• sysutils/wxWidgets_select

from users/mojca/wxports. Plus the only two dependencies:

• py-winpdb
• py-robotframework-ride (I was told that there are problems with 2.9 anyway)

(Please deactivate wxWidgets/wxWidgets30/wxWidgets-devel before trying it out.)

A longer explanation has been posted on the mailing list, but I can repeat it here if needed. If these ports work, I would prefer to replace the current ports with the new ones and make wxPython independent of wxWidgets, so that upgrades of wxWidgets won't need to be delayed for the sake of wxPython.

Would love to help, but how do I install these packages? I don't see 'port search wxPython-3.0' doesn't return any results.

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

svn co https://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/users/mojca/wxports

and then follow instructions for setting up a ​local package repository

This should be fixed in r110279.
