Re^2: Debugging Alien-wxWidgets and mediactrl

... wxperl-alien-3083.tar.gz ...

is just the tarball

... wxperl-alien.tar.gz ...

with a version number on the end.

Seems to me like you skipped reading INSTALL file, and didn't set WXWIN or somesuch

@wxperl-users suggested PERL5LIB, which is where I got most of my info. It's a GTK install, sorry I should have said. So WXWIN is wx-config. Thanks for the pointer, I'm trying to see what syntax/layout I should be using.

Steve

I thought it was a cheese sandwich :p Don't assume we know what you're talking about -- why aren't you using http://search.cpan.org/dist/Alien-wxWidgets-0.52/? @wxperl-users suggested PERL5LIB, which is where I got most of my info.

Post links man :) like http://search.cpan.org/dist/Alien-wxWidgets-0.52/README.txt	[reply]

Hi Anon, Thanks for your post. I haven't been using cpan for this because svn has for the most part been more up-to-date than cpan. Sometimes there have been fixes which have been necessary for wxperl to work and these have been applied to svn immediately, with cpan lagging by days or weeks. Here is the svn version. You can see that the current version is 3084. I had some problems with this so I backed up to 3083, which didn't have the same problems. Hence the file name suffix. http://wxperl.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/wxperl/ At the moment I'm single stepping through Alien because the I don't find that the parameters are defined specifically enough in the doc (eg in the readme you posted). For example you can use the parameters to pass a preinstalled version of wxWidgets rather than downloading and compiling the current version. I assumed this would be /widgets/build, but it seems to be /widgets/build/lib. I can find no documentation for any of this. I'm sorry if this just has you thinking "cheese sandwiches" again, but I'm struggling to get clarity around all of this too. If you think I'm not being clear then it's because the problem is evolving in my mind. Each time I get clarity around the problem, the solution almost invariably follows quickly. Thanks for your support. Regards Steve	[reply]
