in thread Wx::ProgressDialog, please help

Same thing. It doesn't draw the progress (or anything else) at all until it gets to Update(10) under my .20/2.5.3 GTK install and simply sagfaults under .19/2.5.2 windows install.

I find it crazy and random that it DOES work for you.

I wonder if it's my perl version.
lunix: v5.8.3 built for i686-linux-thread-multi
winblows: v5.8.3 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread

could be the 5.8.3, could be the threads... What perl version are you using?

And thanks for your help btw... I will try the list also.

    ActivePerl 5.8.4. I don't think it's 5.8.3 or the threads.

    In your first reply you say Wx-0.19 with wxMSW-2.4.2, but now you say Wx-0.19 with wxMSW-2.5.2, which is it? Did you compile it yourself?

    Its got nothing to do with luck. I think wxGtk2.4 may have a bug, in which case you need to get the 2.5.x version and recompile.

    As for your windows install I think you got some bad binaries, where'd you get'em?

    I hope you contact the list, Good luck

      I don't see how it can be a GTK problem, since it manifests (different) under windows as well. I think it's just a 2.4.2 thing.

      I found binaries for 2.5.2 under windows, installing.

      and I'm compliing a 2.5.2 SRPM for lunix.

      {update}: I didn't think the other post went through because it's too far down in the tree to see in my default view... So that's why the two dups above... I wish I wasn't such an idiot out loud.

      No, it's 2.4.2... that was simply a typo. I don't think there even is such a thing. And it can't really be a gtk bug, because it doesn't work in windows either.

      Ah, apparently there is a 2.5.2 version. Silly me, I grabbed the "stable" version.

      And to be honest, I didn't see that you were running the development branch. My mind can't see a difference between 2.4.2 and 2.5.2 until it's obvious that I missed something.

      I'm not really excited about moving to the development branch. I found wxWindows difficult to compile and used binaries. I don't even have a compiler for the windows machine, so unless I can find a binary ppd, I don't think it's going to happen.

      It at least seems clear that it's the 2.4.2 version that's not working quite right. That at least resolves the problem.

        Update: I found binaries for 2.5.2 for both windows and linux. Awesome. Hopefully this works. Question 2: Do you know where I can find a Wx-0.20 binary for active perl? I seem to suck at finding windows software, but it seems that you found it somewhere.
