Hi,
Your first problem is duff advice from me.
There is no tar.gz bundle of wxWidgets 2.9.1
Ah well.
2 things you need.
An extraction method that works
A working patch.exe
Strawberry should give you a working patch.exe
Just test that your version of Windows lets you run it:
patch --version
Install command line zip from
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/unzip.htm
Make sure unzip is on your path. You may wish to make this temporary for
safety's sake.
Ensure you have a clean extract from svn of Alien-wxWidgets. Ensure
WXWIN and or WXDIR are NOT set in your env.
Now,
perl Build.PL --wxWidgets-source=zip --wxWidgets-unicode=1
--wxWidgets-mslu=0 --wxWidgets-version=2.9.1
perl Build
perl Build test
perl Build install
Should work.
Note that if Alien finds wxWidgets-2.9.1.zip in its top level directory,
it will use that rather than download. If you were planning on building
many times, it would be simpler to keep copying a local copy rather than
downloading.
Building wxWidgets separately is a bit painful as you have to apply the
correct patches for your version. Easier to let Alien do it.
If you are accustomed to editing makefile.gcc with your wxWidgets build,
you can achieve the same effect by passing the same flags to Build.PL in
--wxWidgets-extraflags.
For example, if I wanted to build the QA library, then the option in
makefile.gcc is USE_QA=1
so in my build command I would do
perl Build.PL --wxWidgets-source=zip --wxWidgets-unicode=1
--wxWidgets-mslu=0 --wxWidgets-version=2.9.1
--wxWidgets-extraflags="USE_QA=1"
Hope this helps
Regards
Mark

Hi Mark,
Thank you for your answer. Fetching the source in tar.gz does not work :
fetching from:

Fetch failed! HTTP response: 404 Not Found [404 Not Found] at

I have tried with zip but the process stops :
fetching from:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wxwindows/wxWidgets-2.9.1.zip
Extracting wxWidgets...
No '/bin/unzip' program found at inc/My/Build/Base.pm line 322

I suspect Archive.pm having troubles with the existing Build file.
So tried to rename the generated Build file into Buildwx and then launching
:
perl Buildwx
As a result, fetching the source works but the build process stops when
patching wxWidgets :
No '/bin/unzip' program found at inc/My/Build/Base.pm line 322

It is a path not found error.
I have tried another way, fetching and building wxWidgets by myself and then
setting the WXDIR and WXWIN env variables but I get :

Looks good
A wxWidgets build seems to be in 'c:\wxWidgets-2.9.1', so it should be safe
to a
nswer
'no' to the following question
Do you want to fetch and build wxWidgets from sources? [no ]
no

Do you have any idea ?
