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

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

Hi,

You should install Alien::wxWidgets. Just say [no] to building Wx and as
long as your WXWIN and WXDIR environment vars are correct, Alien will
pick up and install the dlls correctly.

Then, re-compile and install Wx so it picks up Alien correctly.

Now check your installed Wx::Mini.

In there you'll find a definition for:

$Wx::dlls hash which should contain all the correct names of your DLLs.

sub _alien_path   which will define where Wx searches for the DLLs. This
should match your installed Alien/wxWidgets/lib/xxxxxx path where the
DLLs are installed.

You could always just hack your current Wx::Mini to find the correct
DLLs in _alien_path - but following the Alien / Wx route above should
always work for you.

Regards

Mark
