No, but try redoing the configure step with --disable-std_string.

Hi Mark,

 

I saw this error when I had unicode enabled. Use –disable-unicode.&nbsp; In my case, the default was to have unicode disabled.

 

../configure 

 &nbsp; --prefix=/opt/wx/2.8.6 

 &nbsp; --enable-optimise&nbsp;

 &nbsp; --enable-debug_flag 

 &nbsp; --with-gtk=gtk+-2.0 

 &nbsp; --disable-stl ;

 &nbsp; --disable-shared ;

 &nbsp; --disable-sound&nbsp;

 &nbsp; --enable-rpath=/opt/wx/2.8.6/lib

 

I opted to hard code library references.&nbsp; In my cygwin build, I used gcc 3.4.4-3, gtk+2, and python 2.5

With the setting for configuration above, I run script for make:

make $*

 &nbsp; &nbsp; && make -C contrib/src/gizmos $* 

 &nbsp; &nbsp; && make -C contrib/src/stc $*

 

Finally I can install.&nbsp; In my case it will move the library to /opt/wx/2.6.8

However, where I am having problems is in compiling the extension itself.&nbsp; Maybe when you get to this point, we can collaborate.

 

What compiler are you using?&nbsp; Mingw, gcc, etc

What version of cygwin do you have installed? ; I have 1.5.24-2

Which GTK package/libraries are you using?

Were they all downloaded from cygwin?

From the snippet of code, it looks like you have msw enabled?

 

Good luck.

Karl

I recently downloaded the tarball of wxPython 2.8.6.1 and was trying to get it to compile in cygwin but get the following error:
