I never asked someting like this.

[Kry]

Well, GPL perfectly allow you to fork project even right now, and make your own amule with blackjack and hookers.

Lol, maybe we backport the hookers. 

My wife would object

As far as I see, loads of bug are related to wx. I'm not asking to switch to something different, I know it would be a huge work at this state of code but... really? Is it ok just to say that bugs are related on the platform you are developping on and you can't do anything?
Perhaps you can look for qt programmers interested in, or gtk programmer interested in, or python programmer interested in, or o'caml programmers interested in, or tcl programmer interested in ecc...

[Stu Redman]

I wouldn't call a tray icon "loads of bugs". And do you really think QT is without bugs?
Anyway, switching platforms is totally out of question.

[franz1789]

never asked, I only have to be grateful of a port of emule for GNU/Linux, but as I am a man, cogito ergo sum,  I think that wx sucks, and I think that loads of people inside here began to hate wx using aMule as I did:
-tray icon has no alpha background
-tray icon has no download speed bar
-tray icon has no tray icon in xfce 4.6.2 with a dark theme
-open from tray icon leads to a freeze of kde 4.4
-using some lighter themes on gnome leads to download names and every names written in aMule window to be unreadable unless with the click of the mouse
These are bugs I posted and almost all the time wx was the "owner"... go and look for wx with search box, aMule is a wonderful program, most of the problem comes with wx.

I don't want aMule to switch to another toolkit, 'cause I know this would take ages (amsn2 anyone?), but you have to recognize that almost all the problems come from wx...

I think I'll file a bug report to the wx team.

Patience my friend, as no application is perfect and each contains bugs.
I'd rather see these bugs fixed in wxWidgets than switching the GUI toolkit.

thanks a lot, can you please post the bug so we can help in complaining or just follow?

[Stu Redman]

Anybody tried wx 2.9.1 first?

[GonoszTopi]

-using some lighter themes on gnome leads to download names and every names written in aMule window to be unreadable unless with the click of the mouse

That one was an aMule bug as far as I remember, and has been fixed in the development version.

[^marcell^]

The bug was already reported over 2 years ago. See here: http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/4810
Funny thing is that the ticket has a screenshot of the aMule tray icon attached.

I think this bug should be fixed in the trunk as the implementation was changed there to use native GTK+ API if it's > 2.10, can you test if 2.9.0 works for you?

Fabioamd87, would you care for a test?

[Stu Redman]

The bug was already reported over 2 years ago.

And last post (15 months ago) was by a wx dev asking the reporters to test if problem persists in current SVN. And he never got a reply. Don't I recognize and loathe that behavior. 

So please try it with 2.9.1 (2.9.0 does not work with aMule). And aMule SVN of course - 2.2.6 does not support wx 2.9 .

[Fabioamd87]

ok, i will compile everything, please help me if I need.

ps: the configure is right?

Code: [Select]

Configured wxWidgets 2.9.1 for `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu'

  Which GUI toolkit should wxWidgets use?                 GTK+ 2 with support for GTK+ printing gnomeprint
  Should wxWidgets be compiled into single library?       no
  Should wxWidgets be linked as a shared library?         yes
  Should wxWidgets support Unicode?                       yes (using UTF-8)
  What level of wxWidgets compatibility should be enabled?
                                       wxWidgets 2.6      no
                                       wxWidgets 2.8      yes
  Which libraries should wxWidgets use?
                                       STL                no
                                       jpeg               sys
                                       png                sys
                                       regex              builtin
                                       tiff               sys
                                       zlib               sys
                                       expat              sys
                                       libmspack          no
                                       sdl                no


I've compiled wxwidgets in /home/fabio/Scaricati/ but dont fin't it with this command

./configure --with-wx-prefix=/home/fabio/Scaricati/

altso tried --with-wx-dir

[GonoszTopi]

--with-wx-prefix is to be used when wx is installed to a non-standard location. You should use either one from the two below:

Code: [Select]

 --with-wxdir=PATH       Use uninstalled version of wxWidgets in PATH
  --with-wx-config=CONFIG wx-config script to use (optional)

I prefer using the latter one, it always works if the wx-config script works.

[Fabioamd87]

ok previously i gave only make now i've gived make install in prefix /home/fabio/amule/wx

in amule there is sources

./configure --with-wx-config=/home/fabio/amule/wx

doesn't work.

Code: [Select]

checking for wx-config... /home/fabio/amule/wx
checking for wxWidgets version >= 2.8.8 (--unicode=yes)... no

[GonoszTopi]

As I quoted above, the parameter of the --with-wx-config switch must be the "wx-config" executable.

In your case, you'd probably need to use --with-wx-config=/home/fabio/amule/wx/wx-config or --with-wx-config=/home/fabio/amule/wx/bin/wx-config (depending where actually the wx-config executable resides).
