Installing wxDFast

[O-pos]

Maybe you also have an idea where can I get the wxdfast for Feisty? the one on the sourceforge website is for edgy. I tried it on feisty but it didn't work, instead I got the messages that some files are missing..

Try http://www.getdeb.net

Nice link, with very interesting programs, thanks. I installed wxdfast but it doen't work perfectly. At least I get no error messages, but after I start it, it appears and disappears after 1 second. Not minimized, not in panel or somewhere else, but disappears absolutely. :( :)

Works fine here (compiled from source), probably the packages aren't really built for feisty; you'll have to compile it yourself. Quick guide to compiling/installing/building a nice deb package:

- Open up a terminal, run sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall

- Download the source

- Extract

- Run a terminal window, get into the extracted folder via cd (eg cd '/path/to/extractedfolder')

- ./configure

- If you have missing dependencies, install them either with apt-get or Synaptic

- make

- sudo checkinstall

- Enjoy. http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/7017/smile6ku.gif

Thanks. I extracted the source and tried to configure. here's what I got:

configure: error:
wxWindows must be installed on your system.

Please check that wx-config is in path, the directory
where wxWindows libraries are installed (returned by
'wx-config --libs' or 'wx-config --static --libs' command)
is in LD_LIBRARY_PATH or equivalent variable and
wxWindows version is 2.6.0 or above.

That means you're missing that dependency. Run Synaptic, search for wx and install wx-common, libwxbase2.6 and libwxgtk2.6 as well as the dev packages.
