wxWidgets 3.1 Packages and Repositories

This page is for the latest development release, wx3.1.5. For the previous development release, wx3.1.4, see WxWidgets314Binaries. For the latest stable release, wx3.0.5, 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 3.1.5 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 https://repos.codelite.org/CodeLite.asc

or

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

Ubuntu and debian

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

The 'groovy' packages also install and work in ubuntu 21.04 (hirsute).
The repositories also contain wx3.1.0 to wx3.1.4 builds (including some i386 ones) for debian stretch, and ubuntu trusty, wily to eoan. These are also available via WxWidgets314Binaries and earlier.

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 https://repos.codelite.org/wx3.1.5/debian/ buster libs

or, in a terminal, do something like:

sudo apt-add-repository 'deb https://repos.codelite.org/wx3.1.5/ubuntu/ groovy 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:

 apt-get install libwxbase3.1-0-unofficial \
                 libwxbase3.1unofficial-dev \
                 libwxgtk3.1-0-unofficial \
                 libwxgtk3.1unofficial-dev \
                 wx3.1-headers \
                 wx-common \
                 libwxgtk-media3.1-0-unofficial \
                 libwxgtk-media3.1unofficial-dev \
                 libwxgtk-webview3.1-0-unofficial \ 
                 libwxgtk-webview3.1unofficial-dev \ 
                 libwxgtk-webview3.1-0-unofficial-dbg \ 
                 libwxbase3.1-0-unofficial-dbg \
                 libwxgtk3.1-0-unofficial-dbg \
                 libwxgtk-media3.1-0-unofficial-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 33 and 34. Fedora 35 supplies official wx3.1.5 rpms (but our fedora 33 unofficial ones do also work). openSUSE 15 provides its own wxWidgets 3.1.1 but is unlikely to update that to 3.1.5 so I've provided these too. For previous versions of these distros (including i386 ones) see WxWidgets314Binaries.

There are also source rpms for Fedora and openSUSE. The fedora srpm should also build on CentOS 8.

Either download the required rpms and install them as usual, or download and install in one step; e.g.

rpm -Uvh https://repos.codelite.org/wx3.1.5/wx3.1-packages/suse/wxWidgets-3_1-3.1.5-1.src.rpm

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