Hi,
The problem is that Ubuntu 10.10 doesn't seem to ship with the
libwx_gtk2u_media-2.8.so, probably because configure doesn't find
gstreamer at build time, but I don't know.
Anyhow, Wx therefore doesn't build Wx::MediaCtrl - which is correct.
Wx::Demo should skip the media test in this case. I'll patch Wx::Demo in
due course.
If you want Wx::MediaCtrl, (amongst other things ) ensure the runtime
and dev libs for gstreamer and freeglut are installed on Ubuntu, and
build Alien::wxWidgets with something like:
perl Build.PL --wxWidgets-extraflags="--enable-graphics_ctx
--disable-compat26 --enable-mediactrl --with-libjpeg=builtin
--with-libpng=builtin --with-regex=builtin --with-libtiff=builtin
--with-zlib=builtin --with-expat=builtin --with-libxpm=builtin"
--wxWidgets-build='yes' --wxWidgets-source='tar.gz'
--wxWidgets-unicode=1 --wxWidgets-build-opengl=1 --wxWidgets-version=2.8.11
perl Build
perl Build test
perl Build install
Check the Alien/wxWidgets/....
in your perl @inc to ensure libwx_gtk2u_media-2.8.so and perhaps
libwx_gtk2u_gl-2.8.so have been built.
A Wx build should then get you a working Wx::MediaCtrl.
Regards
Mark

Hi Guys,
There seem to be some real installation problems on Ubuntu 10.10,
Maverick Meerkat. The main problem is that Wx/Media is not installed
along with any MediaCtrl functionality. Secondary to this Wx::Demo does
not install either because of the 'use Wx::DemoModules::wxMediaCtrl' in
Wx::Demo.
I have advertised this here and on PerlMonks
(http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=881661). [1]
The error message for Wx::Demo is:
# Failed test 'use Wx::DemoModules::wxMediaCtrl;'
# at t/01_load.t line 38.
# Tried to use 'Wx::DemoModules::wxMediaCtrl'.
There is no error message from the original Wx install, but a critical
part that installs Wx/Media is not executed in the makefile. (See
http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=881925). [2]
Sorry to push this, but it if Wx::Demo does not install on an operating
system, it seems to me that this is quite a problem because new users need
it to start using Wx.
Any ideas or suggestions, much appreciated.
Regards
Steve
