WxWidgets311Binaries

wxWidgets 3.1 Packages and Repositories

This page is for the previous development release, wx3.1.1. For the latest wx3.1 release see WxWidgets31Binaries. For the latest stable release, wx3.0.4 see WxWidgets30Binaries.

The CodeLite packages for Linux now use wxWidgets 3.1. As wx3.1 is a development branch, few distros will supply it. I've therefore built 3.1.1 packages for the commonest ones.

The packages are signed with the CodeLite public key so, if you haven't done so before, you should tell apt or rpm about this by doing as superuser (su or sudo depending on your distro):

 apt-key adv --fetch-keys http://repos.codelite.org/CodeLite.asc

or

 rpm --import http://repos.codelite.org/CodeLite.asc

Ubuntu and debian

If you use a debian-based distro there are the following wxWidgets repositories available:

The repositories also contain wx3.1.0 builds for debian stretch, and ubuntu trusty wily yakkety and zesty. These are also available via WxWidgets310Binaries.

The ubuntu ones should also work on other *buntus of the same version, and on derivatives e.g. Mint.

Now let apt know that the repository exits. If you use an apt front-end e.g. synaptic, tell it to Add a repository, using as data the appropriate entry in the table above.

If you do things by hand, add the appropriate url to /etc/apt/sources.list. Become superuser and either use a text editor to edit /etc/apt/sources.list, adding a line similar to:

deb http://repos.codelite.org/wx3.1.1/debian/ stretch libs

or, in a terminal, do something like:

sudo apt-add-repository 'deb http://repos.codelite.org/wx3.1.1/ubuntu/ cosmic universe'

The line to add is different for different distros/versions; choose the appropriate one:

You then need update the repositories. In synaptic, click the Reload button. If you're doing things by hand, do:

 apt-get update

Synaptic users can then select and install as usual. By hand you can do, for GTK+2 debs:

 apt-get install libwxbase3.1-0-unofficial \
                 libwxbase3.1-dev \
                 libwxgtk3.1-0-unofficial \
                 libwxgtk3.1-dev \
                 wx3.1-headers \
                 wx-common \
                 libwxgtk-webview3.1-0-unofficial \
                 libwxgtk-webview3.1-dev \
                 libwxgtk-media3.1-0-unofficial \
                 libwxgtk-media3.1-dev \
                 libwxbase3.1-0-unofficial-dbg \
                 libwxgtk3.1-0-unofficial-dbg \
                 libwxgtk-webview3.1-0-unofficial-dbg \
                 libwxgtk-media3.1-0-unofficial-dbg \
                 wx3.1-i18n \
                 wx3.1-examples

The equivalent command for the GTK+3 debs is:

 apt-get install libwxbase3.1-0-unofficial3 \
                 libwxbase3.1unofficial3-dev \
                 libwxgtk3.1-0-unofficial3 \
                 libwxgtk3.1unofficial3-dev \
                 wx3.1-headers \
                 wx-common \
                 libwxgtk-media3.1-0-unofficial3 \
                 libwxgtk-media3.1unofficial3-dev \
                 libwxgtk-webview3.1-0-unofficial3 \
                 libwxgtk-webview3.1unofficial3-dev \
                 libwxbase3.1-0-unofficial3-dbg \
                 libwxgtk3.1-0-unofficial3-dbg \
                 libwxgtk-webview3.1-0-unofficial3-dbg \
                 libwxgtk-media3.1-0-unofficial3-dbg \
                 wx3.1-i18n \
                 wx3.1-examples

The first 6 of the debs are required; the others optional (and of decreasing importance).

wx-common and wx3.1-i18n will conflict with the distro's wx2.8 equivalents. That is unlikely to matter too much; but wx-common contains wxrc so, if you use this, be aware that there may be differences after upgrading.

Fedora and openSUSE

There are currently rpms available for fedora 27, 28 and 29, and openSUSE 42.3 (leap); openSUSE 15 provides its own wxWidgets 3.1.1. For previous versions of these distros see WxWidgets310Binaries.

There are also source rpms for Fedora, and openSUSE GTK+2 and openSUSE GTK+3. Either download the required rpms and install them as usual, or download and install in one step; e.g.

rpm -Uvh http://repos.codelite.org/wx3.1.1/wx3.1-packages/suse/42.3/libwx_baseu-suse42.3-3.1.1-0.x86_64.rpm

Note that some of these rpms conflict with the wx2.8 devel ones.
