Proximodo (Proxomitron clone)

griptypethyne · December 5, 2004

A message has been posted on another forum about an open source clone of Proxomitron. This is exciting news as the lack of a Linux version of Proxomitron is one of the reasons why I have not made a permanent switch to Linux.

IMHO Proxomitron is in the top five of best freeware programs ever written. Do not ask me what the other four are as I do not know. I know about Privoxy (and am currently running it) but Privoxy does not have the power and flexibility of Proxomitron.

Go to:

http://proximodo.sourceforge.net/

A Windows binary of Proximodo is available but, as yet, no Linux version. The program author has supplied a Linux Makefile. Proximodo requires wxWidgets.

I have installed version 2.5.3 of wxWidgets (with the "with-X" option). I have followed the instructions in the Proximodo Makefile but cannot get the program to compile. I get error messages about syntax errors in mathcalls.h, which is a GNU file.

I know that this is a Mandrake rather than a GNU forum but I am hoping that some of the gurus on this list can help me. I am very keen to compile a Linux version of Proximodo.

The following is rather long. It contains the following:

Output of find ./ -name "wx" command

Output of wxWidgets configure-wx command.

Output of Proximodo make

Any help would be appreciated.
