The point is wxGtk remains the same as it was for Wx-0.26. So I do not understand
why now build script(s) for Wx-0.57 complain.

There is apparently a bigger problem:

- the line which particularly bothers me is

Attempt to free unreferenced scalar: SV 0x87609e8 at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.7/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm
line 183.

and here is the context in /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.7/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm:

    175 sub eval_in_x {
    176     my($self,$dir) = @_;
    177     chdir $dir or Carp::carp("Couldn't change to directory $dir: $!");
    178
    179     {
    180         package main;
    181         do './Makefile.PL';
    182     };
    183     if ($@) {
    184 #         if ($@ =~ /prerequisites/) {
    185 #             die "MakeMaker WARNING: $@";
    186 #         } else {
    187 #             warn "WARNING from evaluation of $dir/Makefile.PL: $@";
    188 #         }
    189         die "ERROR from evaluation of $dir/Makefile.PL: $@";
    190     }
    191 }
.

The


Attempt to free unreferenced scalar: SV 0x87609e8 at /usr/lib/perl5/5.8.7/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm
line 183.

line bothers me very much because it looks like a problem in Perl's binary guts.

Maybe I'll install newer ExtUtils::MakeMaker - currently the version is
"
     5 $VERSION = '6.17';
"
and/or try it on a different machine - that other one has Perl v 5.8.8 and my attempts
so far have been using Perl v 5.8.7.

Unfortunately, building Wx-Perl has become more difficult, and after addition of
Alien::<whatever> mechanism Makefile.PL is still needed, though the intent of
Alien::<whatever> mechanism is to get rid of the whole ExtUtils::MakeMaker and
Makefile.PL stuff altogether ...

Thanks,
  Sergei.
