Re: Hello! What can I do with wxPerl+Windows right now?

[Don Peddicord]

Brett,  I am a little confused by what you are asking. WxPerl is not an executable, but a means of providing wxWidgets to the Perl interpreter. . . This would be used as part of a Perl based application. There are ways to move that to an .exe (ActiveState perlapp does this, but is not freeeware and their support has lagged over the years.) it’s main tool is parpacker. It has been a few years since I have used it. The project I am on created a wrapper for the Perl interpreter which limited its execution to only the code we provide as part of our application.

Question - where should I start with install it? This has always been the hardest step for me. I think that I would like to focus on a repeatable process that would let me: 1. create a development environment on Windows 2. clear steps to distribute the resulting "EXE" or installer for distributing to other WIndows users without dealing with any of the parts related to #2 Is this possible? Here is something we came up with in collaboration last year, https://github.com/The-Perl-Cottage-Guild/HOWTO-Windows-GUI-Applications/tree/master/wxPerl, and related video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOW8fMrpIS0 This is basically full of figuring out what could be done (barely). I also did a lot of playing around with wxPerl Citrus and some archive.org spelunking of different past attempts to provide development environment for Windows that would just spit out a self-contained .exe - which would be ideal for what I'd like to do. I definitely agree, being able to reliably bang out wxPerl for Windows would really rock. Another big reason I am drawn to wxWindows is the existence of wxGlade. I found it is written in Python but supports emitting out to Perl. So here should I start with seeing how to get things going on Windows in 2024? Thanks!
