Hi,Getting Padre working on Mac OS X presents a couple of difficulties so I've tested a perlbrew recipe to provide a working environment for stable Wx and Padre.
The issue we are trying to overcome here is that Padre is more or less dependent on the stable branch of wxWidgets - 2.8. It may run with development wxWidgets 2.9, but you are likely to hit some problems. Modern Macs are 64 bit and you cannot build wxWidgets 2.8 in 64 bit mode. You need a 32 bit Perl and 32 bit wxWidgets - which isn't as straightforward as it might be.
First step is to install perlbrew and you can do this with the following 3 commands:
curl -L http://xrl.us/perlbrewinstall | bash ~/perl5/perlbrew/bin/perlbrew init echo "source ~/perl5/perlbrew/etc/bashrc" >> .bash_profileNote the last line which is slightly different to the usual perlbrew install.
Close the current terminal and open a new one so that your perlbrew environment is active.
Run the attached shell script - brewperl32.sh - the perlbrew params will create a 32 bit Perl (tested on 64 bit Snow Leopard).
Once Perl is 'brewed', you can switch to it for the current session with perlbrew use perl-5.14.1At this point cpan -i Wx would work, but you will compile against the system provided wxWidgets which is 2.8.8. You really want the latest stable which is 2.8.12.
Download the tar source for Alien::wxWidgets from cpan perl Build.PLwhen asked if you want to download and build wxWidgets, answer yes. Yes is not the default.
answer yes to all other questions. you can then do perl Build perl Build test perl Build install Now, you can cpan -i Padre Note that Wx::Scintilla also builds on Mac OS X http://search.cpan.org/~azawawi/Wx-Scintilla-0.12 Hope it helps Mark
brewperl32.sh
