Herbert et al
Apologies:
I just read your mail again.
You said you failed building 'Wx'.
If you are using cpan, you need to remove the LIBS & INCLUDE references from
config - e.g.
cpan
cpan> conf o makepl_arg ''
cpan> install Wx
will allow Wx to build.
Alternatively, don't use cpan shell - just download the source and do perl
Makefile.PL etc.

Hi,
Just to confirm it is a different problem:
C:\strawberry>perl -MConfig -e"print $Config{cc};"
gcc
C:\strawberry>perl -MConfig -e"print $Config{ccname};"
gcc

and after 20 min it spew tons of errors.
i first thought it was fault on Strawberrys side but not i also tend
to look for error on Wxperl.

Hi,
The recent changes to Alien-wxWidgets breaks correct operation of
ExtUtils::FakeConfig.
This concerns building Alien on Win32 using MinGW, against a non
ActiveState Perl where Perl itself was built using VC6.
It would break an ActiveState build too if it is an older version and
you are using ExtUtils::FakeConfig.
Solution is to fix ExtUtils::FakeConfig.
ExtUtils::FakeConfig installation also needs updating for Perl 5.10.
As I'm building stuff against non ActiveState VC6 versions of Perl
5.8 and 5.10, I will work on a patch for ExtUtils::FakeConfig as
it'll be easiest for me to test. I think the Perl 5.10 stuff will be
trivial (the cc_name bit certainly is) I just won't get to it today.
In the meantime, if anyone else out there is still using
ExtUtils::FakeConfig, just update your installed Config_m.pm to
include "ccname='gcc'".
F.Y.I. I use my own basic builds of Perl built using VC6 to support
the PPMs. Releases of ActivePerl sometimes break compatibility with
prior releases when they include maintenance patches - especially
with 5.8 being quite 'venerable', so to ensure that the PPMs are fine
for all recent releases and going forward, I build them against
original source for 5.8.8 and 5.10.0.
(It so happens that the 5.8.8 build works fine for 5.8.4 onwards -
though that's a happy coincidence for me and there is nothing in the
Perl release process that says it should be so).
Mark
