RE: Cann't Perl Build with wxWidget 3.0.2
Thanks, my real problem is with the interpreter crashing I guess I'm not the only one http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=1088597 and googling some more leads me to believe I should upgrade to a newer version of Strawberry. http://grokbase.com/t/perl/wxperl-users/132ngbahqz/wx-test-failures-with-2-9-4-on-strawberry-perl Not a simple thing to do since I have so many modules installed and working... It would be nice if the setup explanations for wx widgets were upgrade to account for these: - gcc 4.5.x (mine is 4.4.3) - add header for gdiplus in your strawberry/c/include directory - change GdiPlusMetaFile.h: //static UINT Metafile::EmfToWmfBits( - static UINT EmfToWmfBits( - change GdiPlusStringFormat.h//StringTrimming StringFormat::GetTrimming() const -StringTrimming GetTrimming() const François -Original Message- From: Steve Cookson [mailto:steve.cook...@sca-uk.com] Sent: vendredi, 17. avril 2015 17:32 To: RAPPAZ Francois Cc: wxperl-users@perl.org Subject: Re: Cann't Perl Build with wxWidget 3.0.2 Hi Francois, If you use the force install (I imagine you mean cpan -fi Wx)., it will just ignore any non-fatal errors, but actually we don't want any errors at all.

RE: Cann't Perl Build with wxWidget 3.0.2
Hi Steve Glad to see there's someone out there ... I delete the Wx-0.997-xxx folders in my ..\cpan\build From the cpan shell, I rerun install Wx and the build succeed. Strangely the touch command (perl.exe -MExtUtils::Command -e touch -- wxt_copy_files) passed since I now have this file in my build/Wx ... folder. Now the tests fail: when a widget is called: I got a perl has stopped working from windows, even if I see the widgets on the screen. I could try a force install but I will probably have the same problems... When I tried to run the minimal.exe file I had made directly (without Alien::Wx) the widget appears without errors. Any idea ? Is there a way I could successfully install Wx::Alien and telling him : use my standalone setup of wxWidgets, don't build your own ?
