Re: [wxperl-users] Problems compiling wxperl (windows/mingw)

[Beule, F. <FB...@nd...>]

The ppm on the website is for wxWidgets 2.8.0

Noone here could explain=
 how to compile and why the compilation don't work.

I've asked the que=
stion but obtained no answer.

Hi Franck,=

thanks very much for the link - hopefully that ppm will work for me.
i=
t would still be nice to know what I am doing wrong in the
compilation p=
rocess (if anyone knows), in case we still need to
compile a new version=
 (either now or in the future).  We are currently
using the version comp=
iled against wxwidgets 2.6, so it remains to be
seen what compatibility =
problems there will be upgrading to wxwidgets
2.8.0.
regards
Andrew
