Hi,

As the current maintainer of Alien::wxWidgets I thought I had better check that the current version does build perfectly well with currently Strawberry Perl. I can confirm that it does.

My steps to confirming this on a 32 bit machine were:

1. Download the zip package of Strawberry 5.16.3.1 - I have multiple Perl installations and did not want the Strawberry msi messing with my environment.

2. Extract the zip contents to C:\Perl\strawberry5163

3. Run the relocation batch file C:\Perl\strawberry5163\relocation.pl.bat. I did this by just double clicking in explorer.

4. As I didn't use the MSI I need to have a batch file to open a command prompt with the correct environment, so I created strawb5163.bat with the following 5 line content:

set PATH=C:\Perl\strawberry5163\perl\bin;%PATH%
set PATH=C:\Perl\strawberry5163\perl\vendor\bin;%PATH%
set PATH=C:\Perl\strawberry5163\perl\site\bin;%PATH%
set PATH=C:\Perl\strawberry5163\c\bin;%PATH%
cmd /K

I ran this batch file to open a command prompt. I downloaded Alien-wxWidgets-0.64.tar.gz from CPAN and extracted the content. I changed to the resulting directory within my command prompt and did:

perl Build.PL

I answerwed yes to 'download and build' and selected '2.9.4'.

It all built with no problems using the usual

perl Build
perl Build test
perl Build install

I don't know why you would think messing around with the wxWidgets source might help.

Anyhow, I would suggest you build with the following to get a fully featured Wx / wxWidgets

perl Build.PL --wxWidgets-graphicscontext
perl Build
perl Build test
perl Build install
