Hi,
Patched code works correctly with my normal build process on Win32 (wxWidgets
pre-built) and I now get correct values in my Config.
I have just set a build in progress to test download and build of wxWidgets
from scratch. I will post result when complete.
Regards
Mark

I don't know if this helps in tracking down the problem, but on Win32
Yes, it does, and your analisys is correct.
perl Build.PL --prefix=F:/path/i/want
works fine and Alien::wxWidgets gets installed where I have specified.
However, I am not using Alien to build wxWidgets and in my
package Alien::wxWidgets::Config::msw_2_8_7_uni_mslu_gcc_3_4;
the config vars for include_path, link_libraries etc. all point to the
standard sitearch location, not the location where Alien::wxWidgets
has actually been installed.
I used to patch 'My::Build::Utility;' with an ugly none portable hack
to fix this ( the methods in question always return
$Config{sitearchexp} )
The patch is attached as it is tested and does work if the env
variable '$ENV{WX_BUILDENV_LIB}' is set. A better approach using some
other method of setting $BUILDLIBPREFIX would solve this problem I think.
Tentative and hopefully correct patch attached below (it passes
a sane-looking --refix value to configure, but it will be a couple
of hours before the Linux build finishes and I can check...).
And I haven't checked on Win32/Mac yet.
Thanks!
Mattia
