Strange, usually it takes less than a day (and still it is not there).
BUT I am sure people who see this error message will not understand
why and might get angry.
I hope they will be slightly less angry than if the compilation
misteriously failed halfway through the process.
I have not followed the discussion but would it be possible to include
or to point at a
detailed explanation on why is that needed and what is needed in order to have
wxWidgets on 64 bit Perl ?
As Eric explained, the only way is to use wxWidgets 2.9.x (and I
haven't checked that wxPerl works with it yet). As for a clearer
explanation, what about:
This Perl is compiled as a 64 bit binary. Stable wxWidgets versions can
only be compiled as 32 bit libraries. In order to build wxPerl you will
need to either recompile Perl as a 32 bit binary or (if using the
Apple-provided Perl) force it to run in 32 bit mode (see "man perl").
(I found that you can force system Perl to run in 32 bit mode just now,
by accident).

Hi,
I uploaded Alien::wxWidgets 0.45 to CPAN. This release will abort with an
error message[1] if Perl is compiled in 64 bit mode. If Perl is 32 bit,
wxWidgets will be compiled in 32 bit mode.

Can't build wxWidgets 2.8.x to work with a 64-bit Perl, you will need
to recompile your Perl as a 32-bit binary.
