[erlang-questions] Unable to compile 21.2.2 because of “wx”

[Frank Muller]

Hello everyone

I’m trying to compile 21.2.2 on Ubuntu 16.04 using kerl but without wx.

But the process failed on “dbg_wx_filedialog_win.beam” (see kerl’s below).

Question: why it keeps trying to compile dbg_wx_XXX.erl modules after I
clearly specified —without-wx? I don’t need anything related to wx. How I
can fix this please?
