# asdf users will run into this problem when trying to use :observer.start(), because asdf erlang install doesn't include wxWdigets | |
## [error] ERROR: Could not find 'wxe_driver.so' in: /home/zsherbondy/.asdf/installs/erlang/25.1/lib/wx-2.2/priv | |

# To resolve this problem, you need to properly compile and install wxWidgets as mentioned here: https://wiki.wxwidgets.org/Compiling_and_getting_started | |
# The following script is for Ubuntu, but the concept should be similar for other distros | |
## Install optional deps for wxWidgets so that build doesn't fail for webview and compat30 | |
sudo apt-get -y install build-essential autoconf m4 libncurses5-dev libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev libwxgtk-webview3.0-gtk3-dev libgl1-mesa-dev libglu1-mesa-dev libpng-dev libssh-dev unixodbc-dev xsltproc fop libxml2-utils libncurses-dev libgtk-3-dev openjdk-11-jdk | |
## Clone build, make, install | |
git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets.git \ | |
&& cd wxWidgets \ | |
&& git submodule update --init \ | |
&& mkdir gtk-build-webview-compat && cd gtk-build-webview-compat \ | |
&& ../configure --enable-webview --enable-compat30 \ | |
# adjust the number based on how many CPUs you can / want to use for the build | |
&& sudo make -j6 \ | |
&& sudo make install | |
# If it succeeds, you should be able to uninstall asdf using asdf uninstall erlang X.X, then reinstall using asdf install erlang X.X | |
# And, you will no longer get the error that wxWidgets will be unusable | |
# If you want to uninstall that compiled wxWidgets, and reinstall with different options, you can simply | |
# go to the build folder wxWidgets/gtk-build-webview-compat - run sudo make uninstall | |
# Enjoy! |
