Go Wrapper for the wxWidgets GUI

I installed the latest Mingw/MSYS (as of yesterday - choosing all of the packages for development) using their installer. I grabbed the latest 2.8.12 series wxwidgets and successfully compiled it (ansi style) and several sample programs - which worked. I grabbed swig from svn and applied the patch (and successfully got a executable - after grabbing and compiling pcre as well). I have all the various projects go, pcre, swig, wx and wxGo under /home/ but have done make install for wx, pcre and swig and ./all.bash for go. So wx, pcre and swig show up in the correct places under /usr/local (lib, bin and include). All SHOULD be well (I'm on Windows 7 64 bit btw). So I go to /home//wxGo/wx and enter:

$ make swig -go -c++ -module wx -soname wx-wx.so -o _obj/wx_wrap.cxx -outdir _obj wx.swigcxx wx.swigcxx(228) : Error: Syntax error in input(1). make: *** [_obj/wx.go] Error 1

I've tried setting environment variables trying to follow one of the other issues entered here, but I've been unable to get anywhere. While I'm FAR from a gcc/go/bash guru (and I know nothing about swig) I have been able to get go-gtk compiled in the same environment. Do you have any pointers or suggestions I could try? Thanks!

What's the problem? thanks.

When compiled wx in Linux or Mingw It'll generate a wx-config executable.

so Only I have to do is put the wx-config's path in $PATH without concern about the WXHOME directory or include or libs.

SWIG_CXXFLAGS=$(shell wx-config --cxxflags)

SWIG_LDFLAGS=$(shell wx-config --libs)

include ${GOROOT}/src/Make.inc

SWIGOPT+=${WXDEFS}

TARG = wx

SWIGFILES=
wx.swigcxx

CXXFILES=
wxwrap.cxx

GOFILES=wxwrap.go

CXXOBJS=$(patsubst %.cxx,_obj/%.o,$(CXXFILES))

include ${GOROOT}/src/Make.pkg

%: install %.go $(GC) $.go $(LD) $(SWIG_RPATH) -o $@ $.$0

_obj/%.o: %.cxx $(HFILES) @mkdir -p _obj $(HOST_CXX) $(CXXFLAGS) -o $@ $*.cxx
