Thanks, my real problem is with the interpreter crashing I guess I'm not the only one http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=1088597
and googling some more leads me to believe I should upgrade to a newer version of Strawberry. http://grokbase.com/t/perl/wxperl-users/132ngbahqz/wx-test-failures-with-2-9-4-on-strawberry-perl Not a simple thing to do since I have so many modules installed and working... It would be nice if the setup explanations for wx widgets were upgrade to account for these: - gcc > 4.5.x (mine is 4.4.3) - add header for gdiplus in your strawberry/c/include directory - change GdiPlusMetaFile.h: //static UINT Metafile::EmfToWmfBits( -> static UINT EmfToWmfBits( - change GdiPlusStringFormat.h //StringTrimming StringFormat::GetTrimming() const -> StringTrimming GetTrimming() const François > -----Original Message----- > From: Steve Cookson [mailto:steve.cook...@sca-uk.com] > Sent: vendredi, 17. avril 2015 17:32 > To: RAPPAZ Francois > Cc: wxperl-users@perl.org > Subject: Re: Cann't Perl Build with wxWidget 3.0.2 > > Hi Francois, > > If you use the force install (I imagine you mean cpan -fi Wx)., it will > just ignore any non-fatal errors, but actually we don't want any errors > at all.
