Hi,

Be sure that the goal of my message is to make things bette=
r...

But I'm wondering if it's really possible to compile wxPerl ?

=
I'm asking the question because of my experience and the messages of
tod=
ay...

On the official website, you can only access to the sources of t=
he
module wxPerl
but not to the tutorials of how to install it (a worki=
ng one !!!) and
worst
not the dependent modules that are needing.

I'=
m starting to think that this lack is due to the complexity (or the
impo=
ssibility ?)
to do it.

I spend 3 days to try to compile it on windows=
. I read lot of
documentations but didn't
find any one good.

Fortuna=
tely, I was saved by someone in this list who indicated me that
there is=
 an 
unofficial website who proposes the binaries for windows. It worked=
 fine
and I was happy
for that because I could efficiently work on my d=
evelopments.

Why this link is not proposed in the official website? I =
don't know.
It's a big lack I think.

After, I asked to my collegues t=
o install the Linux version of wxPerl.
They also failed (It's definitive=
ly not me the problem).

We are still searching a way to compile wxPerl=
 on Linux !

And now, it's the turn of one member in the list for Mac O=
S.

I just learn today that Alien::wxWidgets who is required (you disco=
ver
that when you compile)
is not up to date for wxWidgets 2.8.0 despit=
e wxPerl is. How it's
possible that the guy who 
updated wxPerl for wxW=
idgets 2.8.0 could compile if the required
Alien::wxWidgets is not 
up =
to date ?

And for my conclusion, if it's hard to compile on Windows (s=
omeone
succeded on this task,
but he didn't explained how) and impossib=
le to compile on Linux and
MacOSX,
does someone really use wxPerl ???
=

PS: My dev on wxPerl is the first one with a graphical interface and I
=
choosed it because
of it's interoperability between Unix and Windows. No=
w my dev is near
finished, working
on windows and I'm still unable to s=
tart it on Linux. I'm wondering if I
made the
good choice of choosing s=
uch an uncompilable solution... 

If someone can answers...
