[GRASS-dev] Re: bundling wxpython - solves 6.4 digitizer problem

[Michael Barton]

Bingo!

Bundling wxPython with GRASS 6.4 produces a binary in which wxPython  
digitize works without crashing the GUI.

Now the question is why does this work and a normal make does not-- 
using the same source file and the same binary wxPython installation.

I will try the same thing with GRASS 6.5 and see if it solves the  
frozen elements problem. I take it that I follow the wiki instructions  
for 6.5, correct?
