[wxperl-users] My experiences with building 0.10 on Linux

[Jouke V. <jo...@pv...>]

Hi,

I thought it'd be nice to share my experiences on building wxPerl 0.10
on Linux against wxWindows 2.3.2 (Gtk) (latest development) from source.

1. Trying to install the wxWindows 2.3.2 rpm does not install wx-config,
so the installation of wxPerl fails on that
2. Downloading the wxWindows sources and building them does not install
the contrib/wx/xrc directory so you have to manually copy it to the
include directory.
3. Building wxPerl 0.10 gives an error on line 4792 in Controls.c
saying:
 Controls.c: In function `void XS_Wx__RadioBox_SetString (CV *)':
 Controls.c:4792: no matching function for call to 
 `wxRadioBox::SetString (int &, wxString &)'
 make: *** [Controls.o] Error 1
Changing that line to this:
 #if WXPERL_W_VERSION_GE( 2, 3, 3 ) \
     || ( WXPERL_W_VERSION_GE( 2, 3, 2 ) && !defined(__WXGTK__) ) \
     || defined(__WXUNIVERSAL__) \
     || defined( __WXPERL_FORCE__ )
     THIS->SetString( n, label );
 #else
     THIS->SetLabel( n, label );
 #endif
makes that file compile without problems
4. Now I'm running into problems compiling Frames.c, but I don't have
any more time today. Monday will continue this quest....For people
having done this before, this is my latest output:
