Description

On a virgin machine without wxwindows or wxpython, the configure process for gr-wxgui goes ahead even though things won't work when its done.

History

I noted in the grc_gr_wxgui.m4 file whether we should check this or not. Technically, it's not a compile time requirement as there is no compilation done in gr-wxgui.

I think runtime requirements should be checked at runtime. YMMV.

I think that it should refuse to configure and install gr-wxgui if wx isn't there. Otherwise everything looks ok, and then you get an error message when you try to run anything. I don't know about you, but I'm tired of answering the "No module named wx" question on the mailing list.

Ok, fair enough. I'll accept the ticket.

Fixed in 3221. gr-wxgui will not get installed if wxPython is not detected at configuration time. However, this just shifts the error message to scripts that are trying to import from gr.wxgui.
