Description:

The official wxgtk2.8 package includes development files used when building packages from source. An "m4" file is missing from wxgtk2.8 that prevents building of packages that depend on that development file. The m4 file was specifically excluded from the package in ABS. wxgtk (not wxgtk2.8) includes this file and installing the wxgtk package then allows wxgtk2.8 source files to be successfully built.


Additional info:
* package version(s)

wxgtk2.8
wxgtk

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1440113

* config and/or log files etc.


Steps to reproduce:

Attempt to build https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/codeblocks-svn/ without wxgtk installed but with wxgtk2.8 installed as that package requires.
This task depends upon

Sounds like wxgtk needs to be a makedep for the package. We can't have the same file in both packages.

There hasn't been anything new so I'll make a suggestion, and keep in mind that I am a n00b for packaging so what I'm suggesting might just be wrong or not feasible. How about placing wxgtk2.8 into it's own, different, prefix and keeping "/usr/bin/wx-config-2.8" the same but all the other files in a different path?

I was thinking along the lines of just adding a m4 file under a different name.

I'm sure that that is a much better idea than mine. ;)
