tovidgui

I've installed tovid from the aur, which compiles fine.  The command line version works ok, but I really wanted the gui.  Problem is the following error.

bash-3.2$ tovidgui
tovidgui requires wxPython 2.6; please install or upgrade wxPython.
bash-3.2$ pacman -Q wxpython
wxpython 2.8.0.1-1
bash-3.2$ pacman -Q python
python 2.5.1-1

I can't seem to find python 2.6 in the repos or aur anywhere.  Any ideas, or do I need to go build 2.6 manually?

Re: tovidgui

The tovidgui script hasn't been updated to work with wxpython 2.8. Ask the tovid devs about it, or if you know python, change it yourself and send them a patch.

Re: tovidgui

you can replace 2.6 with 2.8 ... in /usr/bin/tovidgui
tovidgui, appears to be compatible with wxpython .2.8 ...
the critical lines are 27 and 28 ..
...
if wxversion.checkInstalled('2.8'):
        wxversion.select('2.8-unicode')
...
so after editing they should look like the above ...

btw, i dunno if that works ... i don't know how the gui is supposed to look.

if not, i'll have a look at it when i have some time .. i suck at programming though .. so don't expect much.

Re: tovidgui

Thanks raeven.  That gives me a place to start.  I'll try that and see what happens to it...

Re: tovidgui

I changed those two lines from 2.6 to 2.8 and it seems to be working.  Whoho!
