in thread wxPerl and PAR

Is this a problem with my PAR installation?
I doubt it. Do you have the latest PAR/Module::ScanDeps? Is that the static or the dynamic wxPerl build? If it's the static build I wouldn't expect to find any extra .so's, so you have to by whatever means neccessary figure out what the missing .so's are, and add them with -l. scandeps generally works. I don't know what else to use on unix (on win32 I'd use dependency walker).

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).

    Yes, fresh from CPAN.

    Is that the static or the dynamic wxPerl build?
    Dynamic, because static builds do not run at all.

    If I include libwx_gtk_2.4.2.so with the -l option everything is ok. I suppose that's the way to go for me.

    Many thanks for the help!

    p.s.: I have some more PAR questions, but they will live in their own threads ;-)

    Adding libwx_gtk-2.4.so with the -l option does not work as expected :-(

    I create the PAR executable with
    pp -l /usr/local/lib/libwx-gtk_-2.4.so -o hello hello.pl

    When I run hello I get the following error:
    Can't load /tmp/par-bernd/cache-deadbeef/1234abcd.so for module Wx: library libwx-gtk_-2.4.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

    After that the cache directory is filled with everything that is needed (perl modules, so's).

    The second try to run hello succeeds.

      Hmm, I'm not sure I understand what's going on exactly. I would suggest setting PAR_DEBUG=1, but that feature apparently disappeared :( Try editing the "executable" manually (its' a zip file) and put libwx-gtk_-2.4.so under lib/auto/Wx/ and see if that does anything. Be sure to delete the cached stuff.
