Build wxPython on Windows

• Using x86_x64 Cross Tools Command Prompt for VS 2019 (Run as Administrator)

gh repo clone wxWidgets/Phoenix
cd .\Phoenix\
git submodule update --init --recursive
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Python\Python310\python.exe -m venv venv
.\venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r .\requirements.txt
python build.py dox etg --nodoc sip build

Create wheel

python setup.py bdist_wheel

Test wxPython

pip install dist\wxPython-4.1.2a1-cp310-cp310-win_amd64.whl
python -c "import wx; print(wx.version());"

Clean

python -u build.py clean

TODO

• Handle the case of using bash and wsl with doxygen and graphviz from Windows

Download wheel

• wxPython-4.1.2a1-cp310-cp310-win_amd64.whl

Pre-requirements

• Python 3.10.1 , Packages in WSL2
• Clone this branch with the integrated pyMSVC package and the buid.py patches
• Now we don't need to use the "x86_x64 Cross Tools Command Prompt for VS 20xy"
• Don't need create the hard links
