Hi, I have commented the lines that check for Alien::wxWIDGETS and I was able to create the Makefile.
On `nmake test` it gave just asingle error: t/44-perl-syntax.t ......... 23/73 # Failed test 'message match in 'Trivially broken package statement'' # at t/44-perl-syntax.t line 199. # got: 'syntax error' # expected: 'syntax error, near "package;"' t/44-perl-syntax.t ......... 68/73 # Looks like you failed 1 test of 73. t/44-perl-syntax.t ......... Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100) Yes it would be very nice if the Padre builder would not check for wxWIDGETS and if it could be used to build Padre with ActivePerl also. BTW, do you know why Padre can't be started by running the program "padre" with perl? I want to try some changes/improvements, but I can't test the program and the possible errors it gives if I can't run its source code. Thanks.
