align_image_stack and wxWidgets

Asked by ChrisOfBristol

I'm building a Flatpak which contains align_image_stack. A post here
https://sourceforge.net/p/panotools/discussion/333550/thread/ce417effe9/?limit=50#3d86
states that "Only the gui Hugin tools require wx widgets, so align_image_stack doesn't require it."

However the build fails without wxWidgets. That is surprising, what part of wxWidgets GUI creator could possibly be needed by a command-line program?

It is true that some command line tools work without wxWidgets. But there are now also some command line tools with requires wxWidgets. (wxWidgets is a cross platform C++ library, it can also be used by command line tools. It is not only a "GUI creator".)
Adding an option to build only some command line tools without wxWidgets dependencies would complicate the already complicated build setup more than necessary and then for most users essentials programs would be missing.

Can you help with this problem?
