84    Build Troubleshooting
85    ---------------------
86    
87    When building Thuban, you might have problems because of a missing file
88    wx/wxPython/wxPython.h.  This file is part of wxPython and may be
89    packaged in a separate package.  Unfortunately, on some systems this
90    file is not packaged at all.  On those systems you can try a work-around
91    built into Thuban, by passing the --use-wx-python-swig-hack to the
92    build_ext command.  This can be done on the command line for the build
93    command like this:
94    
95       python setup.py  build_ext --use-wx-python-swig-hack  build
96    
97    You can also use it with the install_local command:
98    
99       python setup.py  build_ext --use-wx-python-swig-hack  install_local
100    
101    Note, that this work-around relies on some wxPython internals and may
102    cease to work at some point.  We tested it with wxPython 2.4 and
103    wxPython 2.5.
