Looking into this a bit more I don't see how this flag would have ever worked. Can anyone confirm this?

[mcdermj]

Is wxWidgets installed? The program still requires wxwidgets-base to function because there are threading, string handling and other functions that it uses.

[anemitz]

@mcdermj Got it. Compiling now with just libwxbase3.0-dev wx3.0-headers installed and the --without-gui flag. Fingers crossed.

Trying to get a raspberry pi + dvmega running as a hotspot and some of these tutorials are a challenge to get through if you don't want to run a gui / someone else's images.

wx/textctrl.h is only included in wx/wx.h if wxUSE_GUI is set:

https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets/blob/master/include/wx/wx.h#L81

Looks like an issue since we have a dependency on wxTextCtrl:

GUICommon/RestrictedTextCtrl.h
24:class CRestrictedTextCtrl : public wxTextCtrl {

Which causes this compile error:

Description: wxWidgets Cross-platform C++ GUI toolkit (GTK+ development)
 wxWidgets (formerly known as wxWindows) is a class library for C++ providing
 GUI components and other facilities on several popular platforms (and some
 unpopular ones as well).
 .
 This package provides files needed to compile wxWidgets programs.  If you
 want to compile apps using the (optional) glcanvas library you will need
 to have Mesa or OpenGL installed too.
 .
 This package also provides the wx-config script.

without the --without-gui flag installation works fine.

[mcdermj]

This is really a dupe of #108 it seems. I committed some code to my repo at:

https://github.com/mcdermj/OpenDV/tree/nogui-build

Try that out and see if it works for you. I'll do a pull request on it if it seems to be okay.

If you're just looking for Raspberry Pi packages, I build them on my Jenkins CI server on every commit and they show up in our Compass Linux repository at http://archive.compasslinux.org. They should be fully usable if you want to just download the individual .debs and install them individually.

Trying to build for system without X11 (and wxWidgets), console only Raspberry with --without-gui. Fails on looking for wxWidgets.

Also tried link from @mcdermj and it fails as well.

Why wxWidgets is needed for console only version?

checking for wx-config... no

[mcdermj]

wxWidgets is required even using --without-gui. The networking and threading libraries of wxWidgets are used in the code and are necessary.

[sh123]

@mcdermj, thank you, just did apt-get libwxbase3.0-dev, which is non-GUI package, and used your branch to compile without GUI. Original OpenDV did not compile, your branch compiled fine without GUI (Raspberry, Debian Wheezy).

[phl0]

@mcdermj I tested your nongui-build branch as a patch against the current master. It now compiles cleanly on my Debian stretch lite on a RPi3. Can we have that as a PR against the upstream repo pls?
