Errors on embedded platform

[Markus Kuhnla]

Hello wxPython experts,

this is my very first message to this list and sorry for the 
circumstance that it is a question. I count on your mercy ;-)

I try to make wxPython programs running on a Mips-based embedded 
platform and therefore I need to get wxPython cross-compiled and running 
for this platform.

The platform is a uclibc-Linux built with a "buildroot" derived 
cross-toolkit. Python is version 2.4.2. I got both wxWidgets 2.8.6 and 
wxPython 2.8.6 cross-compiled but as soon as I try to do a 
"myApp=wx.App()" I get an "segmentation fault" error. I debugged this 
out to happen at the call to XOpenDisplay() in function 
wxPyTestDisplayAvailable() (helpers.cpp).

My next step was to write a little test-program (C-Code) calling 
XOpenDisplay and XCloseDisplay and this worked fine.
After this I tried to run the various demo programs, coming with 
wxWidgets and they ran well too.

For now, I am a little bit desperated how to isolate the problem. 
Everything seems to work fine but wxPython is kidding me. I saw a lot of 
"deprecated conversion from string to char*" while cross-compiling and 
am unsure, whether this is a problem?

Could someone please be so kind and give me some hints??

Kind regards

Markus
