Add wxWidgets library support #293

Open antonvw opened 9 years ago

antonvw commented 9 years ago

At this moment anyone who builds an application using wxWidgets and would like to use appveyor for ci, has to provide downloads for the wxWidgets libs from a public url to his project on appveyor, with the complication of mismatches between platform compiled on and appveyor. It would be great if appveyor provides a precompiled/installed wxWidgets library.

Does it take too long to download required build from SF?

antonvw commented 9 years ago

No, but it takes time to discover which config is right, at this moment I still get: 'CMake Error at C:/Program Files (x86)/CMake/share/cmake-3.1/Modules/FindPackageHandleStandardArgs.cmake:138 (message): Could NOT find wxWidgets (missing: wxWidgets_FOUND)', which I do not get when building locally. And I already spent several hours on other errors.

It certainly would be a very handy as building wxwidgets by itself takes a looong time and downloading custom precompiled libs isn't the msot reliable way to do that. wxWidgets isn't as big as Qt but a lot of cross-platform projects use it.

So, what package(s) do we need to add to the server?

No, but it does take long to debug this issue since each build lives in the queue for ~7 min before showing another error message :(

@jieter What's your account name? Will take a look.

jieter commented 9 years ago

Current build: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/jieter/opencpn/build/1.0.34

I'm not comfortable doing these things with windows, and I make stupid typo's all the time. But I have no other way to test this than pushing new commits to GH and wait 15 min for another error to pop up :(...

Is there something like a (vagrant) VM image mimicking the appveyor image?

FeodorFitsner commented 9 years ago

You were running on Azure. I've moved account to faster environment - should be better now.

jieter commented 9 years ago

@FeodorFitsner thanks! I was guessing you did something to my account, the build started really quick.

antonvw commented 9 years ago

As package I would suggest the latest stable wxWidgets version (at this moment 3.0.2), in release and in debug mode

jieter commented 9 years ago

It takes some time to build, but this is how I added wxWidgets for OpenCPN build at Appveyor: https://github.com/jieter/OpenCPN/blob/ci/appveyor.yml
