It's been a while since I build wxPerl on Debian so these are tips from
the top of the head.
I have wxWidgets installed:
$ dpkg -l|grep wx
ii libwxgtk2.4-1-contrib 2.4.5.1.1
ii libwxgtk2.4-contrib-dev 2.4.5.1.1
ii libwxgtk2.4-dev 2.4.5.1.1
ii wx2.4-headers 2.4.5.1.1
2.4 is very old. I advice to find these packages for 2.8 (or at least 2.6)
This is what I used on Ubuntu:
$ sudo apt-get install libwxgtk2.8-dev
(This will also install libwxbase2.8.0 libwxbase2.8-dev libwxgtk2.8-0
wx2.8-headers)
running Makefile.PL says ...
$ ~/perl-5.10.0/bin/perl Makefile.PL
Warning: prerequisite Alien::wxWidgets 0.25 not found.
I assume this doesn't matter because I've already got wxwidgets installed.
This does matter. It's the layer that tells wxPerl where wxwidgets is
(there can be multiple)
Alien::wxWidgets does offer to build wxWidgets for you but if you answer
"no" it will most likely find your installed version.

It's a bit odd that it's writing that last Makefile twice.
Yes, I don't recall seeing that...

Looks good

any ideas on what's going wrong here?
Hope it helps...
