[wxperl-users] Building wxPerl with wxWindows 2.3.1, and using XML resources

[James L. <ja...@mi...>]

Hi All,
I'm new to wxPerl and wxWindows, (but not to Perl...), and am a bit
confused about a couple of things...

I want to use XML resource files with wxPerl, and understand that this
is only available with the 'unstable' 2.3.1 version of wxWindows.  I've
downloaded and built this with no problems, into c:\wx2.3.1\wx23_1.dll.

Three questions:

1. How do I rebuild wxPerl to use this version of wxWindows? =20

I've tried editing build\nmake.mak to change WXWIN to c:\wx2.3.1, and
rebuilding the makefile for wxPerl and remaking, but I get the errors:

Controls.c(4498) : error C2039: 'SetString' : is not a member of
'wxRadioBox'
        c:\wx2.3.1\include\wx/msw/radiobox.h(25) : see declaration of
'wxRadioBox'
XS/RadioBox.xs(95) : error C2039: 'SetString' : is not a member of
'wxRadioBox'
        c:\wx2.3.1\include\wx/msw/radiobox.h(25) : see declaration of
'wxRadioBox'
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cl' : return code '0x2'

2. Given that I get things going with wxWindows 2.3.1, can someone give
me (or point me to) an overview of how to use XML-based resource files
in wxPerl?

3. Is there a  GUI designer available which will create resource files?
I've looked at wxDesigner - is there another one included with
wxWindows?

Thanks,

James Lavery
