To be honest, I have absolutely no idea about what is failing; it looks like
your make can't execute an echo command ( which should not happen )

No, this is not a compiler problem

They are in MinGW, and in this case the warning is truly harmless

I know this does not help at all, sorry

TO clarify:

the OP has got its problem during
perl -MConfig_m Makefile.PL
make is run here internally by Makefile.PL, and showed the problem
the OP reported. Using dmake would not help here ( of course he'll need
dmake later ).

[wxperl-users] wxPerl binary for wxWindows 2.3.x?

[James L. <jl...@bi...>]

Hi Guys

I'm currently using wxPerl 0.10 with wxWindows 2.2.9.

However, I've got a problem with bitmap alignment in toolbar buttons, which
I believe is fixed in wx 2.3.x. (According to Robert Roebling)

I suppose I'll have to build a wxWindows 2.3.2 binary myself, and rebuild
wxPerl on top of it, won't I?  Unless someone can tell me different...!

Thanks,

James

For Win32: http://wwwstud.dsi.unive.it/~mbarbon/wx/
Compiled against wxWindows 2.3.3-to-be

For other OSs, yes;

Re: [wxperl-users] wxPerl binary for wxWindows 2.3.x?

[James L. <jl...@bi...>]

Hi Mattia,
Thanks for the info.

I was wanting to use wxPerl and wxWindows 2.2.9, as these are regarded as
stable.

Any knowledge as to how stable wxPerl 0.11b and wxWindows 2.3.3 are? (I
should probably post this to wxWindows discussion group, as well).

I will be needing to ship copies of my applic to several people, so don't
want to have to keep shipping patches to wxWindows, if possible.

Of course, I 'm probalby caught between a rock and a hard place slightly -
if I want the extra functionality/fixes in wxWindows 2.3.3, I'll have to
take the potential hit on new bugs!

James

[wxperl-users] Perl validators

[James L. <jl...@bi...>]

Hi Mattia,
I've started coding a generic and a text validator for wxPerl, as I want to
use them in my project.

Would you (or others) be interested in these being contributed to the wxPerl
community?  If so, how do we want to manage it - as part of wxPerl, or just
a contribution to CPAN?

With regard to package naming, I'm intending to name them as follows:
Wx::Perl::GenericValidator
Wx::Perl::TextValidator
etc...

I'm intending the TextValidator validation to be controlled mainly by a
regexp to validate against, to make it flexible, but also to match the
features of the native wxValidator, if possible (though a lot of these can
be achieved by a regexp, I think).

Other suggestions/opinions regarding naming conventions are welcome -
nothing's cast in stone yet!

Regards,

James

Say what now?
What exactly will be the purpose of the modules, to validate Perl?
( it's unclear )

Re: [wxperl-users] Perl validators

[James L. <jl...@bi...>]

DH,

No, not to validate Perl, but to implement wxValidators in Perl.

wxValidators allow the association of a variable (in our case, a Perl
variable) with a control so that the control gets automatically populated
with the contents of the variable, and the variable gets automatically
updated when the OK button is clicked on the dialog (and NOT updated if the
Cancel button is clicked).

In addition, the validator can have validation associated with it, which
gets called when the wxDialog->Validate method is called.

This all happens automatically if the control is on a wxDialog-derived
window, and can be implemented manually with a few Wx function/method calls
if the control is on a frame.

For more details, there's good documentation on wxValidators in the
wxWindows docs.

Does this make more sense now?

Regards,

James

[wxperl-users] Using toolbar buttons and bitmaps with wxPerl

[James L. <jl...@bi...>]

Hi Mattia,
I want to use a toolbar with buttons in my wxWindows application.  Using
wxPerl, do the bitmaps for the buttons have to be stored separately on disk,
and loaded at runtime?  I know that with Tk, one can serialise the image
into application data, so avoiding the need to distribute the bitmaps
separately.

On a similar topic, does wxPerl have the ability to use wxWindows resource
files for bitmaps (not sure which resource format is currently in vogue with
wxWindows)?

Continuing the topic (should probably post this to the wxWindows disc.
group), is there an appropriate resource builder I can/should use to build
resource files?

Thanks,

James

You should be able to put XPMs inside the source ( XPMs are just text
files ); I'll post some code when I get home.

There are WXR resources, but they are not supported with wxPerl
( and I have no plan to support them, unless someone else implements
  them ). If you are using wxWindows 2.3.x, you can use XRC, that
are newer, better, supported, and support sizers & internationalization.

For WXR there is dialoged, for XRC there is wxDesigner ( commercial ),
and a Python base one that should be included in recent wxPython 
distributions.
