Hi,
No doubt you'll get a more informative and complete response from

Hi,
Since i worked a lot lately with Alien::wxWidgets while building and
testing Wx::Scintilla, I acquired a couple of questions and feature
requests for Alien::wxWidgets.
- How can one decide whether wxWidgets is installed from source or
linked against system wxWidgets?
- What are the supported Alien::wxWidgets configurations over
ActivePerl? ActivePerl + cl works but is ActivePerl + gcc working?
I use mingw-w64 32 and 64 bit gcc compilers to build against all current
versions of ActivePerl. A recent gcc from mingw.org works too.
Occasionally, in the past, a particular release of ActivePerl broke gcc
compatibility, though I can't remember the last one. (one of the 5.10.1
releases)
For this reason I'm in the habit of still using ExtUtils::FakeConfig,
creating my own libperl5xx.a and loading a Config_w64.pm
( http://www.wxperl.co.uk/building/Config_w64.pm )
- What are the supported Alien::wxWidgets configurations of over
Linux, Mac OS X and other platforms?
Not sure what you mean?
- How can one could 'require Alien::wxWidgets;' and then call
Alien::wxWidgets->compiler without a 'use Alien::wxWidgets' it?
Please note that I am asking about the supported configurations to
develop a proper Wx::Scintilla test plan. Hopefully, I will get more
tester reports for Wx::Scintilla on different platforms.
P.S. I need PAUSE *co-maintainer permission* on Wx::Event so I can
extend it without the PAUSE indexer complaints.
you can also defeat indexer by splitting the package line
package
Wx::Event;
alternatively, you can add your events in your XS code - which may be
the preferred way for new stuff. See Wx source
ext/richtext/RichText.xs
Hope it helps.
