Using wxWidgets in extensions
-
We are using wxWidgets inside our extension called AmbientOcclusion (on Mac OS X). Every time we load our extension, Thea Render becomes unstable and crashes. It seems that Thea Render uses wxWidgets as well, and that the two extensions are conflicting because of it. Also, doesn't matter that we are linking statically or dynamically to wxWidgets, the problem persists.
Has anybody experienced a similar issue?

Yes, there is the same issue between Vray and Thea. I think they found a way to fix it.
You should contact Tomasz . -
Great thanks!

The most important thing is to hide all symbols when compiling wxWidgets on Mac.
When fluid has done it, the crash is gone.
We have same issue as with V-ray now. Thea dialogues will not close and neither refresh.It is most likely caused by using IMPLEMENT_APP_NO_MAIN(MyApp) macro in AO. This allows just a single instance of wxApp. Our solution is to create our own instance of wxApp and to use wxApp::SetIntance( instance ); instead. When SU closes I do a clean-up and call wxUninitialize();
As far as I know Thea doesn't affect any plugin, so the solution works correctly.
