hello world

section

website?

yeah yours

do you mind helping me here please?

tbh, if i were you, especially on linux, i would build wx from source... .. it'll take a while though

checkout the

wxWidgets - Building From Source (OSX & Linux)

from here: http://haxeui.org/getting-started/haxeui-hxwidgets/

also, rather than using one of the source archives from the wx site, i would consider using git version from github

could you link it

should I have any background knowledge about wxWidget to use the haxe version?

I never used it before ngl

you dont really need any knowledge of wxwidgets to use haxeui-hxwidgets... you would if you werent using haxeui (ie, just using hxWidgets - the externs)

ah alright 👍

I picked up hxWidgets never having used wxWidgets before, got the hang of it pretty quickly for basic controls

the fact that I don't actually need to deal with hxWidgets directly for most things probably has something to do with that...

also > ... ... so nice to be back in front of an actual computer again, with an actual keyboard / mouse, and more than 1 screen... 😌 I feel that, tried used only a tablet for a week or so a while back and it didn't go well

yeah, the wxwidgets api isnt complex, so using hxwidgets (ie, no haxeui) should be pretty straight forward...

using haxeui-hxwidgets just means you can use a universal api, and never have to think about the internals (mostly anyway)

amen, i mean, the laptop is alright but i cant really do any proper dev on it, not that i was going to ofc 😉

what should I exactly

make

I also get

configure: error: 
    Configured to use built-in PCRE library, but the file
    ./3rdparty/pcre/pcre2-config.in couldn't be found.
    You might need to run:

        git submodule update --init 3rdparty/pcre

to fix this.

is this okay?

so you'll defo want to fix that with

git submodule update --init 3rdparty/pcre

(and run configure again to make sure)

fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git

I just downloaded using the zip, not git

hmmm, not sure about the source archive

now I get * A new enough version of pkg-config was not found. * See http://pkgconfig.sourceforge.net checking for pkg-config... no checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.6.0... ./configure: line 28041: --uninstalled: command not found ./configure: line 28046: --atleast-version: command not found no * Could not run GTK+ test program, checking why... * The test program failed to compile or link.
