[GRASS-dev] python2/3 and GRASS build on Arch

[Vaclav Petras]

I don't know much but I will try to tell what I know.

As far as I know, this does not select the Python packages but C++ library
to link to for the C++ things which are using wxWidgets (no Python things
which are using wxPython).

I think it is only g.gui.iclass because just this module is importing
something from wx which fails. The other g.gui.* modules (and a toolbox
script) also import wx during compilation but this does not fail.

I hope that the upstream error gets fixed because the GRASS one is more
mysterious.

Yes, there is this mysterious issue where wrong versions of wxPython or
perhaps other things are used during compilation when something runs in
fake GRASS session. The things usually run in the real GRASS session, you
can try.
