Hi
On Windows -
You can't build with current release of Strawberry :-(
The compiler needs updating. I expect the next release of Strawberry
will be OK as they are aware of the issue.
For ActivePerl, any MSVC should work. Get MinGW from perlmingw.sf.net
On Linux, you'll need the gtk development packages and freeglut-dev. If
you're particularly interested in wxMediaCtrl, see list posts from Steve
Cookson.
Then
perl Build.PL - and answer the prompts choosing 'yes' - I want to build
from source, and giving 2.9.3 as the version, tar.bz2 as the archive type.
For a build with no prompts:
perl Build.PL --wxWidgets-version=2.9.3 --wxWidgets-source=tar.bz2
--wxWidgets-build=1 --wxWidgets-graphicscontext=1 --wxWidgets-build-opengl=1
Then the usual
perl Build
perl Build test
perl Build install
For MacOSX you are best just doing
perl Build.PL
and answering prompts. This will get you a 64 bit build and you'll need
a 64 bit Perl ( wxWidgets 2.9.3 removes the need to force a 32 bit build
of everything ).
You may then wish to build Wx from SVN as that has wxWebView wrapped
along with a few other things.( wxRichToolTip, wxTimePickerCtrl,
wxBannerWindow).
wxWebView is a full web rendering engine with backends in 2.9.3 for
Linux, Windows and Mac. It will build out of the box on Windows and Mac.
On Linux you need the package libwebkitgtk-dev which I'm afraid is only
available on recent distros. (Ubuntu 11.04 and above, for example)
You'll need the Wx::Demo from SVN too then you can watch Gabor's YouTube
tutorials with your Wx app.
Regards
Mark

Great work!
Suppose I want to build an application to use only wxWidgets 2.9.3.
How do I force Alien::wxWidgets to build it from source via
dependencies?
