[GRASS-dev] Re: GRASS-dev] grass fails to detect wxpython version

[Massimo Di Stefano]

Hi,

Michael, yes it is not backward compatible,
i have commented out some lines in 4 different files in the gui source,

globarcar.py (lines 41,42,61,62)
wxgui.py (line 112)
ghelp.py (line 103)
mapdisp.py (line 132)

now the gui start but is not usable due to the commented code.

Generally i can see the code lines where we set an icon file, is no longer working on wx 2.9.

On osx snow leopard the lack of cocoa support from wx 2.8 is a bad problem
.. actually i'm using python2.7 (i386 + x86_64)
and no wx 2.8 binay are avaiable ... so i had to stay on tcltk 
(or using a custom gui i'm working on, done in pyqt but is pretty immature yet)
i tried the wx2.9 snapshot demos and it works pretty fine, seems 2.9 is near to be mature.

i can give you my time offering support to build and test grass gui using wx2.9 
and providing logs and tentative of debug.... but unlucky i've not a good knowledge of wxgrass and wx itself. 

Please let me know if make sense for you and what do you think about.

maybe is the case to switch this discussion to the gui mailing list?


thanks a lot!

Massimo.
