Re: [wxperl-users] Problems with perl2exe and Wx

[Ulisses G. <ul...@ib...>]

Perl2exe works fine for my Wx programs (both Win32 & Linux).

Try this:

package DemoFrame;

#use base qw(Wx::Frame); # do not use this way

use vars qw(@ISA); # instead, use like this
@ISA =3D qw(Wx::Frame);

  Subject: [wxperl-users] Problems with perl2exe and Wx


  Hi, everyone.  I'm trying to package up a Wx program using Perl2Exe, =
and I'm experiencing some problems.  I saw (on the list archives) that a =
few other people have been using it without trouble, and I was hoping =
that someone might be able to suggest what I should do.

  My application, which runs fine under usual Perl, refuses to be =
compiled by Perl2Exe.  It exits with an error saying that it cannot find =
Wx/Frame.pm.  Of course, there isn't any Wx/Frame.pm, since Wx::Frame is =
defined in the DLL.

  I've added "#perl2exe_bundle" lines for both Wx.dll and wxmsw242u.dll, =
but the Perl2Exe compiler still exits, saying that it cannot find =
Wx::Frame in @INC.  I don't even get to the stage of running my program!

  I have to wonder if the problem stems from the way in which I've =
structured my Wx program:

    a.. My main program (scanner-check.pl) is a very small program that =
does nothing more than create an instance of MyScannerApp and then =
invokes $app->MainLoop(). =20
    b.. I have defined MyScannerApp in a completely separate file =
(MyScannerApp.pm); it defines a single method, OnInit, which then =
creates an instance of ScannerCheckFrame.=20
    c.. I have defined ScannerCheckFrame in a separate file =
(ScannerCheckFrame.pm), which is where the event handlers are defined, =
and where the real action happens.=20
  So rather than having all of these packages defined within a single =
file, which appears to be traditional with WxPerl, I've put them into =
three separate files.  This hasn't had any negative consequences until =
now, but I have to wonder if it's causing me problems.

  If anyone else has experience with Perl2Exe and Wx, I would greatly =
appreciate finding out what I'm doing wrong!  Thanks  in advance,

  Reuven
