Hi Reinhard!
Thanks for looking into this issue!

I wonder what's the status of this bug. The most recent email did not

I'm sorry, I guess the side discussions didn't help to understand the
situation, so here a quick summary:
The patches work fine on the tested platforms, although we agreed on
making a slight modification to assure its cross-platform compatibility,
proposed by Olly: Doing a cast instead of a modified format specifier in
the wxString::Format changes.
So we're basically waiting for a maintainer to incorporate the patches
(including the modification) in the package, update the build
dependencies and upload the whole thing. Olly proposed to NMU the
package, but there was no reaction from any of the maintainers so far.
If it helps, I can post a new version of the patch including Olly's
proposed change. Would that help?
The maintainers should also decide if they want to accept the configure
script patch or if they want to modify the package so autoconf
automatically recreates them.
Bottom-line: The main work is done, but in order to move forward we need
some attention from the maintainers.
I guess that is because the build dependencies needs updating. So I guess given
that the proposed patch to the package is incomplete at best
The patch is complete.
After applying the patch, the package can build with both wx2.8 and
wx3.0. But, of course, if you want to build it against wx3.0 then you
need the wx3.0 dev package installed, which you can assure by updating
the build dependencies. But that's not part of a patch because we're not
patching upstream code to do that. That's a modification in the
debian/control file of the Debian package.
Martin, may I recommend you getting in touch with
upstream about this patch?
I am in touch. The transition to wx3.0 isn't a priority there at the
moment, so this hasn't received a lot of attention, but a very quick
review from their side approved the proposed patch for wxGTK. But as I
elaborated in my first message in this bug report, for the Windows and
Mac ports there's more to it. We're working on that (it requires a lot
of attention from wxWidgets upstream), but that shouldn't be of interest
for this issue in Debian.
I hope that helps to clarify the situation! :-)
Cheers,
Martin
