GUI not compiled in Fedora 27

[tpoisot]

We are trying to install circuitscape through pip (or using python setup.py) on Fedora 27 (python 2.7).

The verify and run executables are built (though all verifications fail), but the GUI is never built.

Both python cards and wxPython are installed.

What log would be useful for you to debug this?

I believe the GUI doesn't work on Linux, only on Windows and Mac

Did you run cs_verifyall from verify_routines.py and find that all tests fail?

Technically it should work on Linux too (but practically I only used the command line version). Also, the code and packages are all really old. We are largely focussing on the Julia version, but happy to accept contributions.

🎉 If there is a Julia version, we'll be more than happy to use that!

@tpoisot Here's the link to the Julia version. https://github.com/Circuitscape/Circuitscape.jl. The project is currently at an alpha stage but is more or less ready for use. If you experience any issues using it, please let us know by filing them at that repo.

Yes, the Julia version is a rewrite that is faster and something that we are working on actively maintaining - but are in the midst of the transition.
