[wxperl-users] Alien::WxWidgets, wxMSW, mingw

[Ed H. <ed...@do...>]

Hullo!

I've decided that I am going to start working with home-compiled
versions of wxwidgets and wxperl, so that when I ask about a bug and
Mattia says "fix is in CVS" I can go get that fix.

I've got a mingw/msys system together.  I compiled wxWidgets using it
and confirmed the samples worked on a testbed "clean install" of Win
XP.  (I followed the steps here:
http://jupiter.dnsalias.net/howto/wxWidgets/wxWidgets_MinGW.jsp )

Now I'd like to roll me up some wxPerl.

I'm using ActiveState perl 5.8.8 build 817 (the latest stable version
from activestate).

My mingw is configured to see that perl in its PATH as /perl/bin/perl.

I'm not exactly sure where to go from here.  My next step would be to
install Alien-wxWidgets I guess.  I can't get the cpan shell working
from within my msys environment.  It says "Set up gcc environment" and
hangs.  So I downloaded the tarball of Alien-wxWidgets in my msys home
directory.

I ran perl Build.pl and said "no" I don't want to build wxWidgets.  (I
already built it, and wx-config is in my path).  It created a Build
script, which gave me some of the following output (apologies for its
incompleteness -- I haven't yet figured out how to cut and paste from a
msys window!) --

Build: blib\lib\Alien\wxWidgets.pm: cannot resolve L<Alien> in paragraph 8.

(some more stuff that doesn't look like errors, then...)

Configuration error: could not find libraries for this configuration at
inc/My/Build/Win32.pm line 63.


Hmmm, I thought.  I'll try saying I *do* want to build the toolkit.   I
removed the unpacked tarball and unpacked it again, and this time said
"yes" to the "Do you want to build WxWidgets?" question.

I ran the build script and ended up with the exact same "cannot resolve
L<Alien> in paragraph 8" and then a "Fetch failed!  404 not found "
trying to fetch \pub\2.6.3\wxWidgets-2.6.3.yes from
biolpc22.york.ac.uk'  It then printed "Fetching wxWidgets..." and quit.

I'm going to go back, for now, to the pre-Alien version of wxPerl, but I
would like to find out how to do this right.  I am very new to
msys/mingw, but things have gone very well except for the Alien business.




I ran it again and said "yes" I want to build it.

Have you tried to build with mingw? May I ask how did you do that?

Hi!

You seem to be doing the same as I do.
I have tried to compile it as you do.
As I see there are several ways to go. I have spent a day on it and I 
have found out couple of things.
I don't have a complete solution but someone may be able to finish it.
These may work.
1. Compile WxWidgets in its own and make an entry for it in 
perl\site\lib\Alien\wxWidgets\Config\
  and build/make  Wx.
I have tried this but I am stuck because the makefile.pl does not seem 
to be able to find the new mingw configuration.
2.  Do as you do. I downloaded Visual C++ Studio Express 2005 and set up 
the path like this before calling cpan.bat
set path=C:\WINXP\system32;c:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 
8\vc\bin;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 
8\Common7\IDE;d:\m\perl\bin\;
set INCLUDE=<Microsoft Platform SDK>\Include;C:\Programs\Microsoft 
Platform SDK\Include\crt
set LIB=<Microsoft Platform SDK>\lib;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual 
Studio 8\VC\lib
then ,,
"install M/MB/MBARBON/Alien-wxWidgets-0.19.tar.gz"
Then I built it  That was ok... but the generated dlls did not run 
properly...
3. There is a install guide here 
http://search.cpan.org/~mbarbon/Wx-0.55/docs/INSTALL.pod
It looks simple...
For mingw, it says

set WXDIR=z:\path\to\wx
  set WXWIN=z:\path\to\wx
  cd z:\path\to\wx\src\msw
  make -f makefile.g95 FINAL=1 WXMAKINGDLL=1
  cd %WXDIR%\contrib\src\stc
  make -f makefile.g95 FINAL=1 WXUSINGDLL=1
  cd %WXDIR%\contrib\src\xrc
  make -f makefile.g95 FINAL=1 WXUSINGDLL=1

  # now build wxPerl
  # get dmake from http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/GSAR/dmake-4.1pl1-win32.zip
  perl Makefile.PL
  dmake
  dmake test

I tried that too but it failed at 
perl Makefile.PL because it was trying to use CL configuration given by Alien::Widgets.
The problem is 
Alien::Widgets knows only CL...??
I don!t know how to make it use gcc configuration, I can see the code is there, I have not 
 managed to activate it..
Maybe if Alien::Widgets were removed..

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

Ed,

I think you need to build wxWidgets in the native environment - NOT
under MSYS. As far as I am aware, you won't be able to build anything
for ActivePerl under MSYS.  Apparantly, the native mingw should work
just fine.

I'm sure Mattia will be able to give you correct instructions when he
next replies to the list. It should be simple with Alien::wxWidgets.
But I'm sure you are wasting your time compiling under MSYS.

Regards

Mark

  It can work inside CPAN, but first make sure you are able to build
a simple XS module from CPAN, to check your setup is sane.

[Ed H. <ed...@do...>]

I've been working on this a little more.

What seems to keep happening is that patches don't get made.  Perhaps
I'm missing some patch-related functionality here?  Where a file should
be patched, it seems to be moved to a .bak file and an empty file is
left in its place.

Right now I'm applying patches by hand and seeing if that helps.  (I had
a patch utility in cygwin but I made cygwin go away so it wouldn't get
in the way of MINGW.)

  Hi discovered (after M=E1rton Papp reported some more problems in
private mail) that ActivePerl build 817 has a glitch in the way
the MinGW build environment is set up that causes Alien::wxWidgets,
wxPerl and I suspect other nontrivial XS modules to fail.

  To work around this you should install ExtUtils::FakeConfig 0.06
(make sure MinGW is in path, then do the ususal 'Perl Makefile.PL;
make; make install' dance), then

  set PERL5OPT=3D-MConfig_m
  <build and install Alien>
  <build and install wxPerl>

This worked for me!  I had tried using FakeConfig once before, I
believe, but that was back when I was mistakenly using MSYS.  I'm
grateful for all your help.

I'll keep poking at this for my own sake until/unless you point me in
another direction, Mattia. :)

  if you download patch.exe from gnuwin32.sf.net (or another
Win32-survival-kit-for-Unix-users site of your choice) you
should be able to replace inc/bin/patch with inc/bin/patch.exe.

  I will give it a try and release Alien::wxWidgets 0.20.

[Ed H. <ed...@do...>]

You know, I'd like to maybe go in a different direction right now --

if I /could /get myself a copy of a compiled, working wxWidgets
installation, one way or another, how could I get Alien::wxWidgets to
see it and accept it as what it needs?

I've got a mingw (no msys) compile of wxWidgets from native makefiles
going right now.  If that ends well I'm going to see if I can figure out
for myself how to tell Alien::wxWidgets how to find it. :)

  set WXDIR=C:\path\to\wxWidgets

the same way it was done with wxPerl < 0.50.
