[wxperl-users] Windows build of .65

[Daniell F. <win...@gm...>]

I was wondering if anyone has a MS Windows build of .65 of wxPerl?

I'm working on a project that I would like to build with Perlapp, but  
I can't seem to get it to work on Windows, and the Wx-Perl-Packager  
needs a newer version of Wx than what I can find a build for on  
Windows.  I've compiled it for OSX, but I just don't have the needed  
tools on Windows to build it.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Daniell Freed

[Mark D. <mar...@zn...>]

Hi Daniel,

I think Wx::HtmlWindow is doing exactly what it is meant to - displaying
 HTML. It is in the demo =3D Windows -> wxHtmlWindow.

I think what you are looking for (Headline, Scrollbars, Buttons) is a
'Browser'.

Wx::LaunchDefaultBrowser('C:/daten/hilfe/startseite.html')

will launch whatever the default browser is.

If you are on windows, your could try Wx::ActiveX to use IE.

I seem to remember some work went into Wx::Mozilla - you'd have to
search the list archive to find out if that would suit your needs.

Wx::LaunchDefaultBrowser has to be the preferred solution unless you
really need something embedded.


Regards


Mark

[wxperl-users] need help with Wx::HtmlWindow

[Daniel <dan...@ya...>]

Hi all,

I tried to use Wx::HtmlWindow but it doesn't work.


I have this:

###### code

sub F_Help {
  my $panel = shift;
  my $tab = shift;

  my $dialog = Wx::Window->new( $panel,         # parent window
                                  -1,             # ID
                                  [-1, -1],       # position
                                  [820, 650],       # default size
                                  );
  
  $dialog -> Centre();

  $dialog -> Show(1);

  
  $dialog->{HtmlWindow}{"hilfe"} = Wx::HtmlWindow->new( $dialog,         #
parent window
                                -1,            # Fenter id
                                [-1,-1],       # Position x/y
                                [800, 600],     # Größe x/y
                                1,
                                "Hilfe zum Punkt $tab"
                                 );

  $dialog->{HtmlWindow}{"hilfe"}
->LoadPage("C:\\daten\\hilfe\\startseite.html");

  
}

##### end code

$panel is of type Wx::Panel


What I get i a plain box without any frames, Headline, Buttons, Scrollbars etc.
The html-page is shown, but the Main-Window in the background is still active.

I searched in the demo, but Wx::HtmlWindow is not used there. Any tips would be
great.

Thanks and regards 
Daniel

I think your first $tree should be $self (assuming $self isa Wx::Frame); 
it's the Frame that does the Connect().

Thanks for looking at this!

Hi Barrie,

I tried to amend the Demo to attempt to use events but I got an error.

	EVT_TREE_SEL_CHANGED( $tree, $tree, \&OnSelChange );

Can't locate object method "Connect" via package "Wx::TreeListCtrl"

I am not sure what to do here, perhaps somebody else has some ideas?

[wxperl-users] Ubuntu wxPerl 0.65 with wxWidgets 2.8.0

[Mike S. <Mik...@Do...>]

I managed to get wxPerl 0.65 to build against the new wxWidgets 2.8.0.

I used the Ubuntu wxWidgets binaries for 2.8.0 
(http://www.wxwidgets.org/downloads/), but had a few problems with 
Alien::WxWidgets:

mike@mbs:~/downloads/Alien-wxWidgets-0.25$ perl Build
'animate' library not found at inc/My/Build/Any_wx_config.pm line 141.
'deprecated' library not found at inc/My/Build/Any_wx_config.pm line 141.

So I added this line to inc/My/Build/Any_wx_config.pm:

    next if $k =~ m/^animate|deprecated$/;

just to see if things would build, etc.  After that everything worked 
fine.  Not the most elegant fix :-/   but hopefully gives a clue to 
those who are in the know...

BTW, I now have an Ubuntu binary Wx-0.65 against wxWidgets 2.8.0 
(wxperl_0.65-1_i386.deb) if anyone wants it, just let me know...

  I never noticed this behaviour... could you tell me more about
your Perl version, platform and wxWidgets version? Are you just
doing:

  EVT_CLICK( ... \&OnClick )

in the constructor, and then

sub OnClick {
    my( $self, $event ) =3D @_;

}

or something sdimilar?

[wxperl-users] How is a die() caught?

[Foo JH <jhf...@ex...>]

Hi all,

I just noticed that within subclassed wxPerl objects (eg. Wx::Panel), if 
a die() were to be executed, it will not show, even on the command-line 
console. I eval-ed the object that died, and I got this string as $@:

Died at MyPanel.pm line 40.

A bit cryptic, especially when I called die() with a message (eg. 
die('file not found') ). How can I retrive the die() message?

Thanks for your help.

[wxperl-users] wxperl update frame

[RedMary <mar...@gm...>]

Hi,

I just started using wxperl and I have (maybe a stupid) question. I have an
application with a main frame that displays some variables. From a menubar
entry a new frame can be opened in which some settings can be changed. What
I want is that when I click the save button in this settings frame the
settings are stored in the variables and that these new values are shown on
the main frame. How can I get the main frame to update to show these changed
variables? I can't get it to work. I hope you can help me with this. 

Thanx in advance,
RedMary

Re: [wxperl-users] mac panther: undefined symbols in appbundle

[Mark D. <mar...@zn...>]

Hi,

Yes. Last version I built was Wx 0.54 with wxWidgets 2.6.3 - it worked
as expected.

> many users does that exclude?

Assuming Safari .31 is what comes with 10.3, the site
http://marketshare.hitslink.com/report.aspx?qprid=6&qpmr=55&qpdt=1&qpct=3&qptimeframe=M&qpsp=94

would suggest that in November around 21% of the Mac users they tracked
were on 10.3 (at least those using Safari)

Their figures for June 2006 showed 30% were 10.3 users.

Interestingly, I thought perhaps using Activestate's latest PDK might
offer a painfree solution as it now supports MacOSX - or at least
confirmation that it can work. But I see from their website that it only
works on 10.4 +

So sorry, no solutions - but hopefully the info helps you make up your mind.

Mark

Well, you did at least get me thinking about the right bits of code.  I 
did some more digging and ended up deep inside of XSLoader and 
DynaLoader.  It appears that

  _boot_Constant( 'Wx', $XS_VERSION );

...doesn't actually do anything.  But, I still can't quite figure out 
what's going on.

I also tried building wxPerl as ppc-only using the 10.3 SDK in -isysroot 
flag (per [1]) (note: I had to use `ditto` to extract 
a /usr/bin/perl-ppc from apple's universal perl.)  But, this gives me 
the same "expected to be defined" errors when loading any of the Wx 
extensions on 10.3.

My best guess is that it is because the .dylib symbol tables are 
slightly different from one OS version to the other.  If that's the 
case, it may be that apple's perl is not 10.3 compatible (and therefore 
my libperl and Dynaloader.bundle are the source of the problem?)  But, 
how to ask a binary what SDK it was built against?

I guess I should also ask the question:  does Wx work when compiled on a 
10.3 mac?  Given apple's policy of discontinuing all old software 
(including a 10.3-compatible xcode) on day zero of a new version, I'm 
going to have a tough time discovering that for myself without shelling 
out some bucks for a trip to their lab in california.

So, what to do?  Is it worth compiling perl-and-everything-else from 
source as ppc with the 10.3 SDK?  It's sounding like I'll have to do 
that to get something that's compatible with old macs (and then 
(assuming the ppc cross-compiled build works!) stitch everything 
together with an i386 build to get a universal binary.)

Alternatively, I just give up and don't do a binary build for 10.3.  How 
many users does that exclude?

  Me too :-)

  All I know is that the wxWidgets team is in contact with Apple
and they are coordinating the inclusion of wxWidgets 2.8.0 (or an RCx)
inside Leopard. I suspect they will include wxPython (and I hope wxPerl
too). I also suspect I will learn this after the release of Leopard, as
happened with Tiger...

Re: [wxperl-users] undefined symbols -- more fun with the mac

[Mark D. <mar...@zn...>]

Eric,

Take a look at the source for Wx::Perl::Packager on CPAN. Its pure perl
so you should be able to just download and browse.

For any kind of bundling of Wx, you have to tell Wx where it can load
the none core libraries from. Wx has some hooks (via Wx::Mini) that
allow you to do this.

Wx::Perl::Packager does this for PDK and PAR and works (at least to a
basic tested level) for those packaging methods on both Win32 and Linux.

I have access to a 10.3 Mac so if you leave

http://scratchcomputing.com/svn/Module-Build-Plugins-MacBundle/trunk/

I'll use this to see if I can make the necessary changes to
Wx::Perl::Packager so it can help with an appbundle on the Mac. I
probably won't get to this before the weekend though so if you take a
look at what Wx::Perl::Packager does, you might be able to solve the
problem before then.

Of course, I'm making the assumption that this is really the same problem.

Regards

Mark

[wxperl-users] undefined symbols -- more fun with the mac

[Eric W. <scr...@gm...>]

I'm building an appbundle (with ExtUtils::MacMaker) on 10.4, localizing 
all of the wx dylibs, libperl, .bundles, etc -- but I get this when 
trying to run on a 10.3 mac with no perl installed:

  dyld: .../wxdo.app/Contents/MacOS/wxdo Undefined symbols:
  .../wxdo.app/Contents/Resources/Perl-Libraries/auto/Wx/Html/Html.bundle  
  undefined reference to __Z27wxPli_add_constant_functionPPFdPKciE  
  expected to be defined in a dynamic image

The odd thing is that I only get this when I load something from the 
extensions.  I can use the wxcore from a standalone appbundle without 
any trouble, so it seems like some sort of problem in wxbootstrap().

Unfortunately, apple makes it rather difficult for me to test on a 10.4 
mac with no perl (plus, it seems to be part of the standard install 
now.)

Any thoughts?  If anyone wants to poke at it, just build the wxdo demo 
from here:

  http://scratchcomputing.com/svn/Module-Build-Plugins-MacBundle/trunk/

Thanks,
Eric

Re: [wxperl-users] Alien and 0.65 on mactel

[Eric W. <scr...@gm...>]

# from John Ralls

Yes, I did build as a universal binary.  Yes, it is working now.  It is a m=
ess and a complete pain though.  (Don't worry, I totally blame apple (well,=
 and maybe Schwern a little, but only because he uses a mac.))

I'm trying to get an appbundle out for dotreader and hoping that I can mana=
ge it this way instead of trying to build two complete perl trees or someth=
ing.

>Those are just part of the wx-config --libs command which MakeMaker =A0

Ahh, but the problem is that ExtUtils::MM doesn't know that the "/Developer=
/SDKs/blahblahblah" and "ppc" and "i386" parts go along with the -options w=
hich it is "ignoring".

So, it passes them along and I get compile commands like

  "cc ... /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk ppc i386 -lfoo"

This gets me some lovely messages like

  "ppc - file not found"

Which *really* had me lost until I realized that only
the dashed "unrecognized" bits were being stripped.

I suppose Alien::wxWidgets should try to do something
about those options (unless the plan is to move from MM
to CBuilder?)

*************************************
How I got it working:  Hack wx-config

from:
  echo $_ldflags "-isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk \
    -arch ppc -arch i386   -framework QuickTime ...
to:
  echo $_ldflags "-framework QuickTime ...


Then build Alien with the WX_CONFIG set, plus --no-build or whatever.

Now, you can compile Wx-0.65 with this cargo-culty setup (I'm
not sure whether the -isysroot is needed in the latter.)

  make -j 2 \
    'PASTHRU_INC=3D-isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -arch i386 -ar=
ch ppc' \
    'OTHERLDFLAGS=3D-isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -arch i386 -a=
rch ppc'

(see http://beta.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.macosx/2006/03/msg9703.html)

=46or CBuilder stuff (not Wx), I had to hack my Config.pm because
=2D-extra_compile_flags wouldn't get the -arch options
in the right spot or something.

  $ grep Developer $(which_module Config)
      'ccflags' =3D> '-isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -arch i386 =
=2Darch ppc -g -pipe -fno-common -DPERL_DARWIN -no-cpp-precomp -fno-strict-=
aliasing -I/usr/local/include',
    'cppflags' =3D> '-isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.4u.sdk -arch i386 -=
arch ppc -no-cpp-precomp -no-cpp-precomp -g -pipe -fno-common -DPERL_DARWIN=
 -no-cpp-precomp -fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/local/include',

Then I have to pass --extra_linker_flags=3D"-arch i386 -arch ppc"
to Build.PL

There is probably a better way to get that setup with CPAN.pm, etc
but I'm currently not having any luck from the various "o conf"
directives.

I suspect it would be much better to quit using apple's perl and
build my own.  Then at least Config.pm would be correct, and
maybe the directory layout would approach sanity.

I also suspect that it might be easier to just build two trees and
then just lipo the corresponding .bundle or .dylib files together.

  No, but just guessing: did you compile wxWidgets as Universal binary?
Any more information?

[wxperl-users] XRC and virtual ListCtrl

[<cha...@il...>]

I'm having some problems with XRC and virtual ListCtrls.
I followed the directions at 
http://wxperl.pvoice.org/kwiki/index.cgi?SubclassingXRC
to create a subclass of a wxListCtrl. In order to pass it more data
I created a simple init procedure that looks something like this:


sub MyInit {
  my $self = shift;
  my $in = shift;

  $self->InsertColumn(0,"Column 1",wxLIST_FORMAT_LEFT, -1);
  $self->InsertColumn(1,"Column 2",wxLIST_FORMAT_LEFT, -1);
  $self->SetItemCount(15);


  $self->{data} = $in;

}

After I load the XRC file, I use findwindow to find the ListCtrl, then I 
call the above member function. The problem is that the data doesn't seem
to stay with the object. The SetItemCount and InsertColumn work, but
$self has nothing in it when OnGetItemText is called later.

I tried the same pattern with another contol (TextCtrl) and that seemed to 
work.

Can anyone help me with this problem? 

I'm using the binary downloads from the wxperl main page, I've tried it both 
on Mac OSX (10.4) and Windows XP

Charlie

Those are just part of the wx-config --libs command which MakeMaker  
doesn't know how to handle. You can safely ignore them.
