Re^2: [Win32]Alien-wxWidgets-0.44 with MinGW

Did you set WXDIR?

Yes, if it's not set correctly 'perl Build' dies with a compalint that it was unable to chdir to the 'samples/minimal' folder (before it even tries to find the libraries).

I've just seen a post that recommends building wxMSW with 'unciode', and then providing some additional arguments to 'perl Build.PL':

environment - set WXDIR=C:\Path\to\wxWidgets
perl Build.PL
     --wxWidgets-build=0
     --wxWidgets-unicode=1
     --wxWidgets-mslu=1
     --wxWidgets-portable=1
     --prefix /your/path/to/prefix
[download]

I'll give that a try - though I'm not too sure what the 'prefix' stuff is all about.

I'll also keep in mind the approach mentioned in the other reply, and give it a try if I can't get things to work using a pre-built wxMSW.

Cheers,
Rob

using a pre-built wxMSW. Where did you download that? wxMSW-2.8.10-Setup.exe is sourcecode only	[reply]

Where did you download that? wxMSW-2.8.10-Setup.exe is sourcecode only I got wxMSW-2.8.10.zip from http://www.wxwidgets.org. As you say, it's source only. The "pre-built wxMSW" I was referring to was the library that I then built myself (from that source, in the msys shell) before trying to install Alien::wxWidgets-0.44. It seems that this may be part of the problem - and that I'd be better off building in the cmd.exe shell with `mingw32-make -f makefile.gcc`, or just removing msys from my path (as already suggested) and letting the Alien::wxWidgets-0.44 build process handle all it for me. I'll be giving this a try when I get a chance. Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l]
