Hi all (particularly John),
I just compiled mpl on Linux Fedora core 4 with wxAGG support. In doing
so, I got tripped up, for a little bit, with wx-config.
Once I figured it out, I ended up re-arranging the build_wxagg function
a bit, just so that more meaning full error messages are likely.
The big difference is that even if WXAgg is on auto, you still get the
message about wx-config. Here's my version of build_wxagg, and I've
enclosed the whole file if you want to diff it. Perhaps you'd like to
role these changes in.
