Please help. I am compiling wxPython in the cygwin environment on a laptop. I have posted a similar questions with wxPython user group, but since it is a compiler/linker related problem, the help is limited. I am apparently missing libraries from GTK2/ATK/etc. required to resolve the references. What libraries are they? How can I verify that I have them? What changes or options are required to resolve the errors? What changes will I need to make to distutils to compile and link properly. Please help. karl 1) the configure files used is as follows: ../configure \ --prefix=/opt/wx/2.8 \ --enable-optimise \ --enable-debug_flag \ --with-gtk=gtk+-2.0 \ --disable-stl \ --disable-shared \ --disable-sound \ --enable-rpath=/opt/wx/2.8/lib 2) once installed I have edited the config.py file with - UNICODE = 0 - WX_CONFIG = '/opt/wx/2.8/bin/wx-config' 3) set environment variable: setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH /opt/wx/2.8/lib setenv PATH /opt/wx/2.8/bin:$PATH 4) execute python setup.py build_ext --inplace --debug 5) when the linking starts I get a slew of unresolved variables. See below. ----------------------------------

python setup.py build_ext --inplace --debug
