Ah, you didn't read the README.txt, right ;-) ?
I personally test wxPerl on Linux for every release,
as specified in the README.

You need to install wxWindows ( as IIRC is specified in the README.txt
and/or INSTALL.txt )

I can just build binaries for Win32/Linux, as they are the only
boxes I have access to.

You can download wxWindows sources from http://www.wxwindows.org/
be sure to download the
2.2.7 version, as the 2.3.1 is a developent release.
Be sure to read the installation docs/FAQs and the
list archives at http://lists.wxwindows.org/search/.
because there are some installation notes about Solaris.

BTW: for the future, post to wxp...@li... :
as I conly have access to Win32/Linux, someone else might
answer better your questions about Solaris/FreeBSD .
