86    Build Troubleshooting
87    ---------------------
88    
89    When building Thuban, you might have problems because of a missing file
90    wx/wxPython/wxPython.h.  This file is part of wxPython and may be
91    packaged in a separate package.  Unfortunately, on some systems this
92    file is not packaged at all.  On those systems you can try a work-around
93    built into Thuban, by passing the --use-wx-python-swig-hack to the
94    build_ext command.  This can be done on the command line for the build
95    command like this:
96    
97       python setup.py  build_ext --use-wx-python-swig-hack  build
98    
99    You can also use it with the install_local command:
100    
101       python setup.py  build_ext --use-wx-python-swig-hack  install_local
102    
103    Note, that this work-around relies on some wxPython internals and may
104    cease to work at some point.  We tested it with wxPython 2.6.
