duplicate of #1424240

I've tried building from the latest upstream git on F28; it fails, apparently less severely though still fails due to a bunch of type conversion errors. See https://github.com/RapidSVN/RapidSVN/issues/35

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 29 development cycle.
Changing version to '29'.

Latest upstream git seems to build OK if you switch to use wxWidgets 3.0 (change wxGTK-devel to wxGTK3-devel).

Many thanks for the tip Scott! The change to wxWidgets 3.0 does indeed solve a lot of issues. There are some other changes that are needed to the spec file, but it fundamentally builds now. I'll push an update soon.

So I finally pushed a fix to git which cleans up the whole spec and builds with the latest upstream version... and it now fails on F-30 because some of the build tools use Python 2. So, down another rabbit hole. At least tools/msgfmt.py fails to run with the Python 3 interpreter. If anyone has the desire to help then it will be much appreciated, since upstream is not very active.

so, number with an "L" suffix is a long integer, apparently: https://docs.python.org/2/library/stdtypes.html

Looks like it can just be removed in Python3 : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24059842/l-suffix-in-long-integer-in-python-3-x

but then it's:

  File "../../../tools/msgfmt.py", line 113
    except IOError, msg:

:-(

You can just BuildRequire: /usr/bin/python for now and still use Python 2.  See:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Move_usr_bin_python_into_separate_package

Thanks. Having looked further, this is some kind of standard tool which is used instead of gettext msgfmt, and it's actually just a makefile fix to use gettext instead (which I believe was the case in previous builds, but upstream is now using msgfmt.py as default instead)

Now successfully built in rawhide!

Thanks for the help Scott!
