grass: compatibility with wxWidgets 3.0

[mojca (Mojca Miklavec)]

I opened this ticket to discuss the progress towards compatibility of grass with wxWidgets 3.0.

The initial ticket was here: #36594. The GUI starts (if wxWidgets 2.8 is used), so the problem really boils down to compatibility issues with wxWidgets 3.0.

I opened an upstream bug report here:

• ​http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/2167

Here are some potentially relevant changes that could be backported:

• ​http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/changeset/58066
• ​http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/changeset/58067

One particular problem in gui/wxpython/location_wizard/wizard.py and at many other places is that self.sizer.AddGrowableCol needs to be moved at the end of the block and this happens all over the place and needs a fix, but it's probably not the only problem.

Maybe we should make a grass-devel subport from one of the following locations:

• ​http://grass.osgeo.org/grass70/source/snapshot/
• ​http://grass.osgeo.org/grass64/source/snapshot/

or straight from SVN to be able to test the latest version more easily and only submit those reports upstream that are still relevant (many problems in location wizard from 6.4.3 are already fixed upstream for example).

May I suggest to close this ticket. With this port being revitalised, presently at version 8.2.1, the reported issue is not reproducible.

Looks very outdated!
