  Hi.
do not use MSYS, just plain old MinGW. Make sure to install the
native mingw32-make.exe.

- Unpack Alien::wxWidgets somewhere.
- copy the wxWidgets archive to that directory (or let A::wx download it)
- perl Build.PL
  - yes: you want to build wxWidgets! let Alien do it for you
    unless you *really* know you do not want to
  - specify the correct extension for the archive (tar.gz works for me
    even under Windows)
- perl Build
- perl Build install

- unpack wxPerl
- perl Makefile.PL
- nmake
- nmake install

  Report any failure here.

  It can work inside CPAN, but first make sure you are able to build
a simple XS module from CPAN, to check your setup is sane.
