如何通过源码文件编译安装wxpython

part 1：首先安装wxGTK

1.解压wxGTK文件：

$ tar -xvzf wxGTK-2.2.5.tar.gz

2.进入目录：

$ cd wxGTK-2.2.5

3.运行configure脚本：

$ ./configure --with-gtk

如果没有安装GTK或GTK的头文件在这里就会出错：（参考：gtk+-devel-1.2.8-6mdk.i586.rpm  http://www.wxwidgets.org/）

4.运行make文件：

$ make

如果没有安装lex或者yacc这里会报错（参考： the right rpms are byacc-1.9-7mdk.i586.rpm and flex-2.5.4a-13mdk.i586.rpm)

5.这时的安装需要超级用户模式：

$ su
# make install 

6.链接函数库：

# ldconfig

7.退出超级用户：

# exit

8.进入目录并与安装文件建立符号链接：

$ cd /usr/lib
$ ln -s /usr/local/lib/libwx_gtk.so

wxGTK安装完毕

part 2：

1.解压文件：

$ tar -xvzf wxPython-2.2.5.tar.gz

2.进入目录：

$ cd wxPython-2.2.5

3.编辑setup.py文件，选择需要安装的选项，在选择的时候这里建议不要安装OGL和GL_CANVAS：

BUILD_GLCANVAS = 0 # If true, build the contrib/glcanvas extension module
BUILD_OGL = 0      # If true, build the contrib/ogl extension module
BUILD_STC = 1      # If true, build the contrib/stc extension module
CORE_ONLY = 0      # if true, don't build any of the above
GL_ONLY = 0        # Only used when making the -gl RPM.  See the "b" script
                   # for the ugly details
USE_SWIG = 0       # Should we actually execute SWIG, or just use the
                   # files already in the distribution?
IN_CVS_TREE = 0    # Set to true if building in a full wxWidgets CVS
                   # tree, otherwise will assume all needed files are
                   # available in the wxPython source distribution

4.建立python模块：

$ python setup.py build

5.进入超级用户安装该模块：

$ su
# python setup.py install

6退出超级用户，检查模块是否安装成功：

# exit
$ python
