The main problem is the [requirement](https://github.com/wxWidgets/Phoenix#prerequisites) of a development version of gstreamer (side note: a *pretty old* version of gstreamer).\r\n\r\nIs there any way to circumvent that dependency as a developer besides hoping to be/know root?\r\n\r\nEdit: After half a day we finally found a way to disable a specific control that triggers that dependency by [building from source](http://wxpython.org/builddoc.php) and disabling the `mediactrl` in `build/tools/build-wxwidgets.py` by hand (`--enable-mediactrl` -> `--disable-medaictrl`). Could not find a useable command flag to do so in `setup.py` (/pip)."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/HDFGroup/hdf-compass/issues/comments/188526950","html_url":"https://github.com/HDFGroup/hdf-compass/issues/156#issuecomment-188526950","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/HDFGroup/hdf-compass/issues/156","id":188526950,"user":{"login":"jreadey","id":7785492,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/7785492?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/jreadey","html_url":"https://github.com/jreadey","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jreadey/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jreadey/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jreadey/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jreadey/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jreadey/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jreadey/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jreadey/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jreadey/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/jreadey/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-02-25T00:02:17Z","updated_at":"2016-02-25T00:02:17Z","body":"@giumas - agreed.  I've been busy with other project commitments in Jan, but I'll try to create frozen binaries next week for Windows and OS X.  I'll review the feature list of #79 with the aim of getting a \"official\" release out in Feb.\r\n\r\n@ghisvali - a Debian package for Compass sounds great.  I've tried putting out frozen binaries for Linux CentOS but as a rule they don't work on other Linux distros.  For Linux packaging can binaries be built from Python source snapshots?  I'd think dealing with the Python package dependencies would be a bit of a challenge. "}}
