in reply to Is the situation calling for an update to the Perl version?
in thread Build of Alien::wxWidgets failing: help

AM: studying the bug reports you quote, they discuss mingw32-make.exe. My DWIM Perl installation (v 5.14.2) does not contain mingw32-make.exe. And indeed the error messages do not mention mingw32-make.exe. Instead, the relevant error messages are, in my opinion:

Do you have a make.exe and a sh.exe in your %PATH%?

I get that error message when I have those two files in path.

I remove those two files from path, and it builds without problems

This is a bug in wxWidgets makefile/bakefile...

    This advice fixed a problem that I would have never have been able to found on my own. I had a QNX development system set up on my machine with sh.exe and make.exe. Once the path was removed, I could proceed. Thank you.
