06/14/2022, 12:58 PMHmm, trying to build with Arch's wxWidgets (3.0.5) gives me this really confusing error: - t

06/14/2022, 1:02 PMa question while waiting for make to finish, you can add haxeui comp via XML, right? - b

06/14/2022, 1:03 PMi think that is exactly why git version is the one to use... i could be wrong, but i feel like that is one of the issues - b

06/14/2022, 1:04 PMcould you manipulate them too from XML, like set their callback functions..etc (I still don't know how haxeui works tbh) - b

06/14/2022, 1:10 PMyou can yeah, like:<button text="Click me" onclick="this.text='Thanks'" /> - b

06/14/2022, 1:14 PMRebuilt wxWidgets from git (only took 4 minutes), now it seems to get past that error. - p
powerful-morning-89
06/14/2022, 1:16 PMAnd indeed it does work when using "recent" wxWidgets. - b

06/14/2022, 1:26 PMHaving an 11th gen i7 with 8 hardware threads helps. And if you usually build in a VM that'll slow things down. - t

will speed things up if you have multiple cores. (But your CPU is a Core Duo isn't it? So it'll be slow anyway.)make -j$(nproc) - t

06/14/2022, 1:29 PMyeah :/ - t

06/14/2022, 1:29 PMI'll be patient - b

06/14/2022, 1:30 PMyeah, usually a VM so thats almost certainly it for me - b

06/14/2022, 1:30 PM4 minutes is... ... ... wow - p
powerful-morning-89
06/14/2022, 1:32 PM4 minutes is still slow. Only reason Threadrippers exist is because of C and C++ /s - b
bright-gpu-74537
06/14/2022, 1:32 PMi think once it was like 40 mins because i forgot to add multiple cores when i created the VM - l

06/14/2022, 1:40 PMhave you looked into something like vcpkg to try and ease the wxwidgets dependency? seems like its a stumbling block for a lot of people (understandable, I wouldn't wish any c / c++ build system on my worst enemy) - l
limited-rose-72431
06/14/2022, 1:41 PMI've recently started using vcpkg in combination with macros to auto build some c++ dependencies and auto generate hxcpp build xml, been pretty happy with the result - b
bright-gpu-74537
06/14/2022, 1:46 PMnever used vcpkg, no - ill look into it at some point - b

06/14/2022, 1:47 PMtbf, imo, the build process for wx (on linux/osx) is pretty painless - b
bright-gpu-74537
06/14/2022, 1:47 PMi guess the deps is the usual stumbling block - p
powerful-morning-89
06/14/2022, 1:48 PMAlternatively ditch wxWidgets and make your own Windows/AppKit/GTK backends. Those are nearly always available (in precompiled form) on their respective OS'. But then again that means more work in making those backends, and keeping them up to date. - b

06/14/2022, 1:49 PMive defo thought about this, but yeah, maintenance would be a bitch - b
