OK, but have you installed it?
I didn't test wxPerl under cygwin, but here is what I would do:
$ cd wxWindows-source
$ ./configure --option1 --option2 ...
$ make 
$ maek install <<< did you do that

The last command places all include files, libraries and wx-config
under /usr/local ( you can change it using --prefix )

Good!

Is the directory where wx-config lies in your path
if not, do

$ PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
$ wx-config --version
2.2.7 <<< this is wx-config output
$

Usually posting a small example cut'n'pasted from the output
helps a lot

Hmm... yes, I am too used to CVS sources; you don't have configure...
mmmh...
Will experiment with that setup, and let you know ASAP

Maybe in addition to, not instead of ( imagine
*who* will have to do the upload :( ) ;)

Re: [wxperl-users] (cygwin) Fw: wxMSW perl bindings

[<sw...@at...>]

i tried wxGTK-2.2.7.tar.gz,
i had to tweak references in configure and configure.in
from *-*-cygwin32 to *-*-cygwin* as my host is shown as
i686-pc-cygwin, and insert "/usr/local/w32api" into SEARCH_INCLUDES..then
<snip>
./configure --with-cygwin --prefix=/usr/local/wxMSW
</snip>

configure ran fine! until i ran make where it croaked on
<snip>
$ make
Makefile:178: src/msw/files.lst: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `src/msw/files.lst'.  Stop.
</snip>

the msw tree is missing (natrually i guess seeing its wxGTK),
is there anyway i can get the full source tree with the configure
script? or at least wxMSW*.zip?
im not fimilar with CVS, but i take it the full source lies there..
i dont think its a "neat" idea copying the src/msw from
wxMSW-2.2.7.zip into wxGTK-2.2.7.. eeek

regards

dan

Re: [wxperl-users] (cygwin) Fw: wxMSW perl bindings

i dont have configure, i used the src pkg
wxMSW-2.2.7.zip, i used cygwin, but it compiled
with mingw prefab makefiles, i could try downloading
the unix src pkg?, its just that i saw cygwin has been
tested with the wxMSW*.zip pkg so that is the one
i used..

perhaps i will try wxGTK as i have GTK setup
properly in my cygwin enviroment (i assume that
will use configure),  but i didnt want the gtk.dll cygwin.dll
overhead?

or hopefully wxPerl will start shipping with
cygwin perl binaries :) instead of active perl.

regards

:( it seems to require quite a lot of modifications.
Could you please point me to the prebuilt binary
you use ( if you use a prebuilt one, of course )
so I can test what people use? 

But I need to advise you that full out-of-the-box support
for Cygwin needs to wait the next wxPerl release :(
( which is not far away, though ) 

Sorry
Mattia
