wxWidget version error when I install CELayoutEditor

[nooby]

Hi everybody!
I try to install CELayoutEditor 0.6.2 on Linux so I have to first install wxWidget. That 's what I did by installing the 2.8.10 version(./configure, make, make install).

But when I try to 'configure' CE CELayoutEditor I have this error:

checking for wx-config... /home/xxx/CEGUI6.2/wxWidgets-2.8.10
checking for wxWidgets version >= 2.8.0... no
configure: error:
wxWidgets must be installed on your system
but wx-config script couldn't be found.

Please check that wx-config is in path, the directory
where wxWidgets libraries are installed (returned by
wx-config - -libs' command) is in LD_LIBRARY_PATH or
equivalent variable and wxWidgets version is 2.8.0 or above.

I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the good directory (what wx-config --libs returned me) even if It might not have influence.
Can somebody help me?

Hi,

I think it's talking about PATH rather than LD_LIBRARY_PATH in this instance, since it needs to be able to execute the wxWidgets configuration tool.

Also, be aware that the editors will not build and run against the unstable code versions at the moment; they only build against the stable branches/v0-6 code.

Ok but it still does not work.

wx-config return

-L/home/nooby/CEGUI6.2/wxWidgets-2.8.10/lib -pthread -L/usr/lib64 -Wl,-rpath,/home/nooby/CEGUI6.2/wxWidgets-2.8.10/lib -lwx_gtk2u_richtext-2.8 -lwx_gtk2u_aui-2.8 -lwx_gtk2u_xrc-2.8 -lwx_gtk2u_qa-2.8 -lwx_gtk2u_html-2.8 -lwx_gtk2u_adv-2.8 -lwx_gtk2u_core-2.8 -lwx_baseu_xml-2.8 -lwx_baseu_net-2.8 -lwx_baseu-2.8

So I set PATH to /home/nooby/CEGUI6.2/wxWidgets-2.8.10/lib

export PATH=$PATH:/home/nooby/CEGUI6.2/wxWidgets-2.8.10/lib

Still the same error...

Edit: Never mind! It is:

export PATH=$PATH:/home/nooby/CEGUI6.2/wxWidgets-2.8.10/

It is me ... again .

When I try to run CELayoutEditor (located in /home/nooby/CEGUI6.2/v0-6/local/usr/local/bin) this error occur:

./CELayoutEditor: error while loading shared libraries: libCEGUIBase.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Altough in makefiles I have:

CEGUI_LIBS = -L/home/nooby/CEGUI6.2/v0-6/local/lib -lCEGUIBase -lCEGUIOpenGLRenderer

Where I can find this file!

[nooby]

Ok solution:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib/

[CrazyEddie]

Yeah, the error of not being able to find the library was a runtime issue which can be solved by using LD_LIBRARY_PATH, whereas setting build variables such as CEGUI_LIBS will only affect the compilation and building aspects.

Hello!

I install CELayoutEditor but when I run it, this error message appears:

CELayoutEditor has detected and caught an exception. The following detailed info is available:

Description: Error
Exception Location: EditorFrame::LoadData
Exception Message: WindowFactoryManager::addWindowTypeAlias - alias 'Taharez AltProgressBar' could not be created because the target type 'TaharezLook/AlternateProgressBar' is unknown within the system.
Exception Filename: CEGUIWindowFactoryManager.cpp
Exception Line: 236

When I click 'OK', CELayoutEditor still keep going, opennig 'main dialog' and 'CELayoutEditor' windows but once I choose a directory, I can not see what It supposed to be displayed in 'CELayoutEditor' windows. I can see in the state bar names of items but nothing in the wnidows.

By the way, The first I run this application I had a .ini file error (I don't remember it was missing error or whatever)

Thank you for your help!

[CrazyEddie]

The thing about the aliases is a known problem, I believe it's already fixed for Win32 people - in the future the file that causes that issue will be removed from the CEGUI distribution and thus fix the issue for linux like systems also.

The .ini file issue is not an error as such, it's an informational thing - there's no .ini so default settings will apply. The next time you run from the same directory, that message will not appear.

Ok thanks!
But have you any idea about the fact that I can see nothing displayed on the windows?

[CrazyEddie]

Hi, ummm, I'm not sure what you mean that nothing is displayed - any chance of a screen grab?
