Hi Matthias: I don't know how to build debs :-( I can suggest a method that should work - but it might not be everyone's preferred approach. I think that rather than try and install wxWidgets libs into any standard location you have to regard your wxWidgets as being for your app / script use only. The module Alien::wxWidgets solves all this for you. I would approach this by building the whole thing - wxWidgets and wxperl, to a custom application directory and then if I needed to distribute it, look at creating a deb out of that custom directory. I believe that an acceptable location for an application directory under Debian would be /var/local/myappname, so having decided that, I would do the following: create directories /var/local/myappname/perllib download and extract to some build directory the Alien-wxWidgets-0.27 source from CPAN. Replace the file ../patches/data with the attached 'data' file. Alien wxWidgets is currently setup to install wxWidgets 2.6.3, - this change points it at 2.8.0. Then in your ../Alien-wxWidgets-0.27 directory, do something like perl Build.PL PREFIX=/var/local/myappname/perllib --unicode If this command suggests going to CPAN for some dependencies, then you don't want to do this as it isn't the Debian way. Find the Debs for the dependencies and install them before you proceed. next do perl Build This should ask you if you want to build wxWidgets. You need to say 'Yes' and opt for the default [tar.gz] source type. Then go for a coffee. Build has to download the wxWidgets tarball and build the thing. All should complete OK. You can then do: perl Build test perl Build install Next you need to build wxPerl. Download and extract to some build directory the Wx-0.67 source from CPAN. In the ../Wx-0.67 directory do perl -I/var/local/myappname/perllib Makefile.PL unicode PREFIX=/var/local/myappname/perllib (above all on one line). You may have to seek out the debs for any missing dependencies that are listed. Then you can do make make test make install I'm not absolutely certain that the inclusion of the custom dir in the INC array as above will work for the 'make test' stage. If it doesn't, just add /var/local/myappname/perllib to your PERL5LIB environment var for the current session so the tests can find Alien. This should all work, I think, then in your perl scripts you just need to 'use lib qw(/var/local/myappname/perllib);' To distribute, make a deb out of /var/local/myappname. I think this should be acceptable in the Debian world as it is all specific to your app / scripts. I.M.H.O - given the release rate of wxWidgets and wxPerl compared to the probable lifetime of Etch, I see packaging all your wxWidgets dependencies up like this as the only practical way to distribute Wx applications. (without pointing folks at CPAN) Debs for WxGTK 2.8 etc could only work if the target machines are always under your own control. Hope this works / helps.
