79    Build Troubleshooting
80    ---------------------
81    
82    When building Thuban, you might have problems because of a missing file
83    wx/wxPython/wxPython.h.  This file is part of wxPython and may be
84    packaged in a separate package.  Unfortunately, on some systems this
85    file is not packaged at all.  On those systems you can try a work-around
86    built into Thuban, by passing the --use-wx-python-swig-hack to the
87    build_ext command.  This can be done on the command line for the build
88    command like this:
89    
90       python setup.py  build_ext --use-wx-python-swig-hack  build
91    
92    You can also use it with the install_local command:
93    
94       python setup.py  build_ext --use-wx-python-swig-hack  install_local
95    
96    Note, that this work-around relies on some wxPython internals and may
97    cease to work at some point.  We tested it with wxPython 2.4 and
98    wxPython 2.5.
