I don't know the considerations but maybe it would be better to include all the necessary files in the Alien::wxWidgets distro similarry to what DBD::SQLite does. > > Quick and easy on Ubuntu: > > *Make sure your build environment is in order:* > $ sudo apt-get build-essential > > *Install the wxWidgets dev package:* > $ sudo apt-get install libwxgtk2.8-dev > (This will also install: libwxbase2.8-0 libwxbase2.8-dev libwxgtk2.8-0 > wx2.8-headers) > > Run cpan (I always upgrade CPAN on a fresh system but I think that's > optional: "install Bundle::CPAN") > > cpan> install Alien::wxWidgets > > (Now the build question will default to [no ] because wxWidgets is already > installed) Thanks for the pointers. Following the above (After installing libwxbase2.8-dev) I get this: Do you want to build wxWidgets? [no ] no Creating new 'Build' script for 'Alien-wxWidgets' version '0.35' /usr/bin/perl Build --makefile_env_macros 1 Copying lib/Alien/wxWidgets/Utility.pm -> blib/lib/Alien/wxWidgets/Utility.pm Copying lib/Alien/wxWidgets.pm -> blib/lib/Alien/wxWidgets.pm Unable to determine toolkit! at inc/My/Build/Any_wx_config.pm line 95. make: *** [all] Error 9 MBARBON/Alien-wxWidgets-0.35.tar.gz /usr/bin/make -- NOT OK Running make test Can't test without successful make Gabor
