Hi Guys, Here is my latest attempt at getting Wx::MediaCtrl on Kubuntu 11.04.
First the good news. I can get the wxWidgets sample code running. And I can get my webcam to stream to me from my webcam, and it records!!! However, now having got my wxWidgets install going nicely I want to run Alien to install all the as the basis of my wxPerl installation. This is is the install for wxWidgets. There are a lot of dependencies, which I haven't shown, but these are the key commands: # Install wxWidgets c++ modules. wget -r -nd http://tenet.dl.sourceforge.net/project/wxwindows/2.9.2/wxWidgets-2.9.2.tar.bz2 tar -xjvf wxWidgets-2.9.2.tar.bz2 cd wxWidgets-2.9.2 mkdir build-GTK cd build-GTK ../configure --with-gtk --enable-debug --enable-mediactrl --prefix=/var/local/wxtesting-2.9.2/widgets make make install ldconfig # At this point stop and do some testing cd /home/image/wxWidgets-2.9.2/build-GTK/samples/mediaplayer/ make ./mediaplayer So here we have mediaplayer running under c++. The next bit is the bit that doesn't work: # Alien widgets tar -xzvf wxperl-alien-3083.tar.gz mv trunk wxperl-alien-3083 cd wxperl-alien-3083 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/var/local/wxtesting-2.9.2/widgets/lib export PERL5LIB=/var/local/wxtesting-2.9.2/perl/lib perl Build.PL --wxWidgets-extraflags="--with-gtk --enable-debug --enable-mediactrl --prefix=/var/local/wxtesting-2.9.2/widgets" --wxWidgets-build='no' --wxWidgets-version=2.9.2 --prefix=/var/local/wxtesting-2.9.2/perl perl Build test This gives me: WARNING: the following files are missing in your kit: Makefile.PL META.yml Please inform the author. Created MYMETA.yml and MYMETA.json Creating new 'Build' script for 'Alien-wxWidgets' version '0.52' root@image-Adesktop:~/wxperl-alien-3083# perl Build test 'media' library not found: some functionality will be missing t/01_load.t .......... ok t/zy_pod_coverage.t .. skipped: Test::Pod::Coverage 1.00 required for testing POD coverage t/zz_pod.t ........... skipped: Test::Pod 1.00 required for testing POD All tests successful.

Have I not got my paths right? I suspect not. If I then do perl Build install I get: make[2]: Entering directory `/home/image/WxBuild/ext/media' make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/image/WxBuild/ext/media' Which I get in every other stage of the Wx installation. What do you think guys? I look forward to your ideas. Regards Steve
