Installing wxgtk
Howdie,
for this programm http://members.shaw.ca/pbem/#download I need wxgtk version 2.4.2. I failed to see how I could install that using pacman (was I wrong?) so I tried the manual way.
After downloading the sources from http://sourceforge.net/projects/wxwindows/files/ everything compiled just fine.
Still alh complains that it can not find the library, so I assume I need to copy the result of the compiling somewhere, or at least link it?
Unfortunately I am either to dumb or too inexperienced to get this straightended out...Any help on this?

Re: Installing wxgtk
If you use the sources instead of the binary builds, then it will mostly work with the version of wxgtk in the repos too.
So write a PKGBUILD for it and compile from source instead of using the binary builds.
Installing an old wxgtk from source will only cause you pain.

Re: Installing wxgtk
I seem to remember I tried that already, but I will confirm that when I am home later.

Re: Installing wxgtk
Grab the wxgtk PKGBUILD from ABS, change pkgver to 2.4.2, and run makepkg?

I am NOT sure that is smart for someone like me. There are too many references to the version number in the PKBUILD and what if I mess something up and end up with a freaky mix of 2.4.2 and 2.9 that will kill my system?

Re: Installing wxgtk
Alright, I tried that anyway but there is too much to be changed for it to work with my level of (in-)competence.
I shall tackle the homemade PKGBUILD for alh and see what that does..
Though, in all honesty, that is pretty much the same thing as compiling it manually, isn't it? Just more.. well... scripted, right?
And, I HAVE compiled it already, I just can not get alh to use (or at least SEE) the new lib that I built...
