aclocal can't find macros

Christoph_Berg:
Just a little error, although it gets quit annoying if you need to fix it for every CVS build you want to compile.

When I run autogen.sh, I get warnings about undefined macros, which check for wxWidgets. I have it on my computer, but aclocal doesn't seem to find them. Perhaps it would be a good idea to bundle those macros with the source package.

Normally configure should ignore all stuff about wxWidgets, because I don't add --enable-wxfred2 as an option, but it stops with an error about the missing macro. Perhaps --disable-wxfred2 is not used as a default parameter?

Mr_Maniac:
Well... I have to say something to wxFRED2:
I'd love to test wxFRED2, but it won't compile on my PC...
Seems like I'm missing a header-File in /usr/include/wx...
It doesn't find "setup.h"...
But I've compiled and installed wxGTK-2.4 correctly (I hope)...
Well.. Okay...
Portage compiled and installed it (Gentoo-User)...

Good point. I'm already doing that with the SDL macros, they are included in acinclude.m4. I'll add the wx macros to that file as well so that the dev package doesn't have to be installed to build non-wxFred2 builds.

wxFRED2 is disabled by default but autoconf will still try to parse the macros which in this case don't exist. So, short of adding the macros to acinclude.m4 there isn't really anything else to do. The change should now be in CVS so if it doesn't work for you then let me know.

It doesn't go in a standard include directory. For me it's in /usr/lib64/wx/include/gtk-2.4/wx, but that should be included with the output of "wx-config --cflags".

Mr_Maniac:
Hmm...
Now that it finds setup.h (I copied it to /usr/include/wx), there are other problems...

With wxWindows 2.4.2:
Long error-message

taylor:
Hmm, what does "wx-config --cflags" give you? The problem with the 2.4.2 output is that a target API isn't set (such as -D__WXGTK__).
