in reply to Installation instructions for Wx (wxWidgets fomerly wxWindows) using ActivePerl

I'm getting error while making Alien-wxWidgets:

C:\stager\Alien-wxWidgets-0.47>nmake

Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 8.00.50727.42

Am I missing some Perl Modules? Or something didn't build right in the previous steps? (I wasn't watching each line, but I didn't see any errors with a quick overview after each step)

    Make sure that WXDIR and/or WXWIN were set correctly.

    If that's not it, then I don't know, and I don't feel like wrangling with that installer again.

      I doubt that it will help, but if you want to try 0.48, skip the following step of the OP: 

      perl -i.bak -pe"s/config => \{ cc => \$cc, ld => \K(?=\$cc })/\$cc eq 
+'cl' ? 'link' : /" lib\Alien\wxWidgets\Utility.pm

      The only difference between 0.47 and 0.48 is a fix that addresses the same problem as the patch applied by that step.
