Herbert,
With the latest Strawberry Perl released earlier this month, both PPM and
PAR::Dist come pre-installed.
So if you wanted the quickest way to install Wx -
ppm install http://www.wxperl.co.uk/repository/Alien-wxWidgets.ppd
ppm install http://www.wxperl.co.uk/repository/Wx.ppd
If you wanted to build Wx yourself, then instead do
ppm install http://www.wxperl.co.uk/repository/Alien-wxWidgets-dev.ppd
then build Wx as normal.
If you have Windows 2000, then you need to ensure that the gdiplus.dll is
installed alongside the wxWidgets dlls in Alien. The PPMs should do this - but
I must admit I haven't tested on Strawberry.
If gdiplus.dll does not appear alongside the wxWidgets DLLs, then in can be
found in the subdirectory
C:\strawberry\perl\site\lib\Alien\wxWidgets\msw_2_8_7_uni_mslu_gcc_3_4\os
where it is called gdiplus.dl_
just copy to
C:\strawberry\perl\site\lib\Alien\wxWidgets\msw_2_8_7_uni_mslu_gcc_3_4\lib
and rename to gdiplus.dll
Building or installing Wx on Strawberry this way definitely works.
Trying to build wxWidgets from scratch is slightly more difficult as you need
the Microsoft Platform SDK if you want to include wxGraphicsPath etc.
Regards
Mark

yes these results i get
C:\strawberry>perl -MConfig -e"print $Config{cc};"
gcc
C:\strawberry>perl -MConfig -e"print $Config{ccname};"
gcc
and : Unknown shell command 'conf'. Type ? for help.
when i do : cpan> conf o makepl_arg ''
and building from sources seemes to fail but that can be my fault since
i never done it in this fashion.
i tried also last night cava, i wanted to present it on my wxperl
workshop, but since it runs
only on win its out of scope for most of my listeners.
but nevertheless thanks mark, its good to hear that somone cares
best
