Extract compressed file and switch to that folder:
wxPython-src-3.0.0.0/wxPython
Install required dependencies:
sudo yum install gcc-c++ wxGTK-devel gstreamer-devel webkitgtk-devel GConf2-devel gstreamer-plugins-base-devel
Let's start installiation process:
sudo python build-wxpython.py --build_dir=../bld --install --unicode
I received an error about unsuccessful creation of the path file. As I understood the problem is that all files were installed to folder /usr/lib64/.., but path file to folder /usr/lib/..
Let's create links to path files (not sure if it really required):
cd /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages
sudo ln -s wx.pth /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/wx-3.0-gtk2.pth
sudo ln -s wx.pth /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/wx.pth
sudo ln -s wxPython_common-3.0.0.0-py2.7.egg-info /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/wxPython_common-3.0.0.0-py2.7.egg-info
At the end of installation process I received a message:
To run the wxPython demo you may need to:
- set your PYTHONPATH variable to /home/jsn/app/wxPython-src-3.0.0.0/wxPython
And then:
- Run python demo/demo.py
/home/jsn/app/wxPython-src-3.0.0.0/wxPython - folder from which we installed package.
Add it to PYTHONPATH:
export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:"/home/jsn/app/wxPython-src-3.0.0.0/wxPython"
Check the demo:
python demo/demo.py
To add wxPython to PYTHONPATH permanently, edit file:
cd ~
vim .bash_profile
