Point the source to /usr/bin/wx-2.6-config instead of /usr/bin/wx-config that is one way, provided that wx-config is used to retrieve the wxGTK setup. Give it a try, see whether the compiler complains. > Source compatible ? Do you mean that is should compile whitout changing > anything ? That's what we do with Audacity, which was developed for wxGTK <= 2.4. The wxGTK 2.6.x series is the last that was also used by upstream developers to build with (if we didn't upgrade to the very latest beta or cvs snapshots which receive fixes for wxGTK 2.8.x). Later versions of wxGTK, e.g. the 2.8 series, changed the feature set and sometimes the run-time behaviour. One cannot be sure that its --enable-compat24 mode leads to full compatibility. And it wouldn't be the first time that application developers used an older API in unintended ways or accessed non-public values/methods which were removed/changed later. -- Fedora release 8 (Werewolf) - Linux 2.6.23.15-137.fc8 loadavg: 1.01 1.26 1.36 -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
