in thread wxPerl: attempting to install Wx::Demo crashes perl.exe

Looks like you don't have stc compiled in, what do you get for 
#!/usr/bin/perl --
use Alien::wxWidgets;
local $\ = $/;
Alien::wxWidgets->show_configurations ;
print for Alien::wxWidgets->link_libraries;
__END__

    AM: Thank you for showing us a direction to debug the issue.

    When running your script, I get:

    What's your opinion?

    Many TIA - Helen

    NB is it right to assume the following: looking at the crash in the OP, it seems that it occurred in 01_load.t . That test script goes:

    Read more... (3 kB)

    Is this pointing us in any direction?
    Is it telling us that the crash has actually occurred inside the use_ok method of Test::More while going:
    use_ok( 'Wx::Demo' ); ?

    Note that in the OP, the test report says: Failed 50/50 subtests, so does this mean that "use" failed loading each and every demo module?

    Update: when going:  perl -e "use Wx::Demo;" I get the same perl.exe crash like in the OP, namely:

    Read more... (790 Bytes)

    So it seems that the problem is with: wxbase294u_gcc_custom.dll

    Can anyone explain what that dll is about, and better yet, how to find the cause of the problem?
