Crash towards the end of the process

[Kakupakat]

Versions (please complete the following information):

• OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed
• Python Version: 3.11
• ArgyllCMS Version: 3.2.0
• DisplayCAL Version: 3.9.11 (fresh install)

Describe the bug
The program crashes after reading all the patches. While creating the profiles, I guess.

To Reproduce
Start the calibration, all patches are read, wait a short moment, crash.

Expected behavior
Start the calibration, all patches are read, wait a short moment, the profile is ready.

DisplayCAL 3.9.11 is too old, please try with a newer version following the steps in Prerequisites & Build From Srouce

[Kakupakat]

I installed 3.9.12, the newest available version, from an rpm and tried again. The result was exactly the same.
Installing with Build from Source does not work. It always complains about not being able to build 'wheel' for 'wxPython'. I searched and tried all sorts of solutions, but the installation from source always fails.

[eoyilmaz]

Can you copy & paste the output where it is complaining about building wxPython.

There you go. Hope it helps.

hmm... yeah, I think it is because you are building wxPython with gcc 14 and this is known to be not working also not compatible with Python 3.11. I don't know how easy it is to install gcc 12, but there is your solution.
