HelenCr has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I am trying to install (building first) Alien::wxWidgets with wxWidgets 2.9.4.
Build is failing - I'll be thankful to you for your help and advice.
Update 1: I've made a little progress, but then hit errors again; please see this post below in this thread: Re^2:Tiny, temporary progress, then an error again
Update 2: Problem in "Update 1" above, apparently fixed; there was a wrong setup.h file in the main wx directory. I took that file away, and then gmake charged on for about 25 minutes, doing compiling and linking. Then it broke, saying:
Creating library file: ..\..\lib\gcc_dll\libwxmsw29u_gl.a if not exist ..\..\lib\gcc_dll\mswu\wx mkdir ..\..\lib\gcc_dll\mswu\wx Unable to find setup.h directory at inc/My/Build/Win32.pm line 117.
The source of My::Build::Win32.pm can be found here: http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/MBARBON/Alien-wxWidgets-0.51/inc/My/Build/Win32.pm
Update 3: (5 14 2013): Working around several hitches, I've succeeded in building and installing Alien::wxWidgets: see below here: Re^2: Moderate success - and some questions
Update 4: (5 18 2013): I gave up on the struggle to fix wxWidgets 2.9.4 on Strawberry Perl (I've implemented all the expert advice and it didn't help the wxbase294u_gcc_custom.dll perl.exe crash; so I've installed Citrus Perl).
There, there are some problems installing some necessary additional modules - I'll be thankful to you if you could have a look at it: Citrus Perl: problems trying to load additional modules
I'm now running Strawberry Perl 5.16.3 on Windows 7.
