Undefined reference to wxHTTP::wxHTTP()

[phl0]

I have an error compiling ircDDBGateway on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS system. wxwidgets 3.0 is installed. During make I get:

What is the issue here?

I tried to compile under Ubuntu with no success.
What I have tried so far :

• Installing wxWidgets from package repository, ircddb fails to compile at linking
• Installing wxWidgets from source, same result

All libraries are present.
Above works like a charm on debian Jessie and above.

Ok. Which version of Ubuntu did you try? I am runnning 14.04 LTS here. Thinking about switching to 16.04 anyways if that solves the problem.

[F4FXL]

i tried with 16.04 LTS on raspberry pi

[phl0]

Hmm that is bad :-(

[F4FXL]

Off Topic but Always having issues to compile stuff is one of the reasons I moved away from Ubuntu.
One thing you could try is to create a simple "Hello world like" program that uses wxHTTP.
This would help us determine if the library is faulty or the autoconf stuff ...

[phl0]

Ack. Will try that.

I have the same issue with Xubuntu 16.04 LTS.

update:

So I installed Debian 8 instead - and it builds just fine - go figure...
