wxWidgets intial recipe

[gmeeker]

Specify library name and version: wxwidgets/3.2.3

Implements #5190 #19991 #20092
Requested by #621

This is a new recipe to CCI. It's an updated version from bincrafters but ported to Conan v2 with additional fixes.

https://github.com/bincrafters/community/tree/main/recipes/wxwidgets

Also unmerged GTK3 work from here (using GTK from Conan recipe):

bincrafters/community#1434

GTK support is currently a draft but macOS and Windows seem usable. Any feedback appreciated. For example, do we need anything older than 3.2.3 here?

• I've read the contributing guidelines.
• I've used a recent Conan client version close to the currently deployed.
• I've tried at least one configuration locally with the conan-center hook activated.

1. Using GTK from Conan is still not working because that recipe doesn't support Conan v2 yet.
2. I'm not sure what would happen if you mix a Conan built GTK with system WebKitGTK (and writing a recipe for that looks even more daunting).
3. wxWidgets is still GTK3 only but I don't think that affects any of this.
4. I'm not able to use Conan cairo with system GTK. I'm getting missing glib symbols (maybe mixing system + built glibs).

So I'm not sure if this will be solved anytime soon.

Hi @gmeeker,
Thanks a lot for the contribution, I'm pushing some changes to simplify the options (if it's needed in the future we can always put them back), relying on defaults for the moment and also removing the gtk option until we have a gtk recipe compatible with Conan 2 (I'm working on some changes for the PR open, so I hope it will be soon)

Why is there ninja in build requirements? Putting ninja in build requirement of a recipe doesn't mean that it will be used as CMake generator. It would also require to force tc.generator = "Ninja" in generate(), but it's missing.
Builds pass, and Ninja is not used at all as we can see in build logs, so I think it can be removed.

There is libsecret in conancenter.

I'm surprised by this recipe. I thought it was forbidden to have system requirements explicitly requested in conancenter recipes (except for a "system" recipe).

Same question. How did this get past hook checks and human reviews?
