[wxperl-users] Unicode/MSLU revisited

[Jouke V. <jo...@pv...>]

Hello,

I'm probably overseeing something obvious, but instead of spending hours 
on it, I'm asking for the help of you guys (and probably gals too):

I'm trying to build wxPerl 0.18 (I don't need the 0.19 features yet) 
using Unicode and MSLU (Microsoft Layer for Unicode on Win9x systems). 
This is what I did:

1. Download and install wxWidgets 2.4.2 for MSW
2. set WXWIN/WXDIR, go into $WXWIN\src\msw and type
nmake FINAL=1 dll UNICODE=1 MSLU=1
(which builds fine by the way)
3. Then I go into the directory where I extracted the wxPerl source and 
type:
perl Makefile.PL --disable-stc --disable-xrc --unicode
nmake
nmake test
nmake install

Everything goes OK, but when I try a sample script (which shows Unicode 
characters when using the precompiled Unicode PPD), it's obviously *not* 
a unicode build.

I tried all kinds of things like specifying --extra-libs=unicows.lib, 
modifying the setup.h that is copied to blib\arch\Wx\build\wx to set the 
UNICODE and MSLU options on, but none of this made any difference.

Any ideas?
