[wxperl-users] Alien::wxWidgets 0.19 / Wx 0.54 on opensuse 10.1

[Mark D. <mar...@zn...>]

Hi,

Sorry I haven't got a fix for this minor problem, but I do have a
workaround.

I install Alien::wxWidgets 0.19 on SuSE Linux 10.1. I choose to build
wxWidgets when prompted. Everything gets downloaded - everything works OK.

I build Wx. Tests complete OK except that the html and net component
libraries can't be found. Not too surprising as I haven't run ldconfig,
but I thought Alien would get around this for me.

Investigating the problem, I find that the Alien libraries are installed
to the path:

.../Alien/wxWidgets/gtk_2_6_3/lib

In Wx::Mini ,
our $alien_key = 'gtk2_2_6_3_gcc_3_4';

If I edit Wx::Mini to change $alien_key and the paths in sub _alien_path
to include 'gtk_2_6_3' then all works perfectly without any ldconfig
required. (Which is brilliant!)

For info, the config that gets installed is ../Config/gtk2_2_6_3_gcc_3_4.pm

So I guess the problem is that the install path should be getting set to
../Alien/wxWidgets/gtk2_2_6_3_gcc_3_4/


If there's anything I can test let me know.

Regards

Mark
