Hi,
Just a note to say that the current releases of Alien-wxWidgets + Wx on
Windows using a mingw compiler with wxWidgets 2.9.2 may fail if you are
not using the default flags and settings.
Alien::wxWidgets 0.54 and Wx 0.9903 have been released to CPAN and solve
these problems.
It is now straightforward (ish) to compile with wxWidgets 2.9.2 on
Windows if you wish. Users of recent Microsoft tools should have no
problems.
For users of gcc / MinGW you can if you wish use the gcc bundles from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/perlmingw/files/
This is a gcc 4.6.2 distribution I have created to support Perl +
wxPerl. I'd recommend it :-). Both 32 bit and 64 bit versions provided.
It is built natively on Windows under MSYS. Those so inclined can
download the entire build environment. Full build scripts provided.
Other MinGW distributions I found to work:
Latest 32 bit from mingw.org
sezero personal builds of 4.5.4 pre-release direct from mingw-w64
project. These have both 32 and 64 bit versions.
The combined 32 and 64 bit multilib compiler from TDM-GCC will compile
Alien + Wx on both 32 and 64 bit platforms - because Alien + Wx are
now explicit about passing -m32 / -m64. But you may have grief with
other modules using this compiler on 32 bit Perl.
Hope it helps for those of you thinking about transitioning to 2.9.2

Mark
