[wxperl-users] Re: Updated build instructions - care to review?

[Graciliano M. P. \(V. Sites\) <gm...@vi...>]

Mattia,

   I saw the docs. It's very nice, show every thing, specially the problems
for the FakeConfig to build with MingW, the commands to build the wxWindows
DLLs, but I have some things to add:

  - Tell to don't forget to set the MinGW version in the file
z:/path/to/wx/src/makeg95.env
    > MINGW32VERSION=2.95.3
    Or you CAN'T compile wxWindows with MingW 1.1
    With the previus version of MinGW you have to fix to much bugs to
compile wxWindows & wxPerl, just impossible.

  - In the commands to compile with MinGW, you use 'dmake', but you don't
say anything about this in the comments.
    Put the URL too, like the extra:
http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/GSAR/dmake-4.1pl1-win32.zip

  - The only missed command now is:
    > SET MINGWDIR=c:\mingw
    This is about the MinGW installation, but we have to think in who don't
know MingW, or compilers too. :-P

  - Put the MinGW URL, to be more easy for the user:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/MinGW-1.1.tar.gz
    Some peoples know MinGW from Cygwin or the Perl build instructions, are
using old version and don't know about MinGW 1.1 and the project inside
sourceforge.
