wxHtmlWindow causes exe to crash after PAR::PACKER

[wongie]

With "use wxHtmlWindow", my Perl GUI works under Eclipse but crashes when running the executable after my design has been through PAR::PACKER. I use PAR::Packer 1.023. Any idea what is going on here? I guess some window specific files are missing when going through the PAR::PACKER process. Without the "use wxHtmlWindow", the executable works ok.

With "use wxHtmlWindow",

Why did you write that, did you create a wxHtmlWindow.pm?

my wxWidgets / wxPerl / wxGlade tutorial

...PAR::Packer 1.023...executable works ok.

You probably forgot to wxpar

[ww]

Details please. What's your packing routine look like?

I created a special Perl module to demonstrate this problem. If you comment out "use wxHtmlWindow" then the PAR::PACKER works otherwise no.

#!c:/perl/bin/perl

use strict; 
use warnings;
 
package MyApp; 
 
use strict; 
use warnings; 
use base 'Wx::App'; 

 
sub OnInit { 
    my $frame = MyFrame->new; 
    $frame->Show(1); 
    return 1;
} 
 
package MyFrame; 


use Wx qw(:everything); 
use base 'Wx::Frame'; 

use wxHtmlWindow;  ############ the culprit
 
sub new { 
    my ($class) = @_; 
 
    my $self = $class->SUPER::new( 
        undef, -1, 
        'TextEntryDialog.pl', 
        wxDefaultPosition, wxDefaultSize, 
    ); 
    
    my $statusBar = Wx::StatusBar->new($self, wxID_ANY, wxST_SIZEGRIP)
+; 
    $self->SetStatusBar($statusBar); 
    my @widths = (250, 100, -1); 
    $statusBar->SetFieldsCount($#widths+1); 
    $statusBar->SetStatusWidths(@widths); 
    $statusBar->SetStatusText("Ready", 0); 
 
    myStdDialogs($self);
    
    return $self; 
} 

sub myStdDialogs { 
    my ( $self ) = @_; 
   
    my $getTextFromUser = Wx::GetTextFromUser(  
                 "This is some text, actually a lot of text\nEven two 
+rows of text", 
                 "Enter a String: ", wxOK | wxCANCEL, $self); 
# 
    Wx::MessageBox("$getTextFromUser", "Entered String", wxOK | wxICON
+_INFORMATION, $self); 
} 


# 
package main;
#

# MyApp->new->MainLoop; or

my $app = MyApp->new;
$app->MainLoop;

I use the following command to create the executable:

pp -v 3 -g -l C:\Perl\site\lib\Alien\wxWidgets\msw_2_8_12_uni_gcc_3_4\lib\libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll -l C:\Perl\site\lib\Alien\wxWidgets\msw_2_8_12_uni_gcc_3_4\lib\libstdc++-6.dll -l C:\Perl\site\lib\Alien\wxWidgets\msw_2_8_12_uni_gcc_3_4\lib\wxbase28u_gcc_wxPerl.dll -l C:\Perl\site\lib\Alien\wxWidgets\msw_2_8_12_uni_gcc_3_4\lib\wxmsw28u_adv_gcc_wxPerl.dll -l C:\Perl\site\lib\Alien\wxWidgets\msw_2_8_12_uni_gcc_3_4\lib\wxmsw28u_core_gcc_wxPerl.dll -o test.exe -r TextEntryDialog.pl -L test.log

So what?

There is no perl module called wxHtmlWindow, did you create one?
