[wxperl-users] Problems using Wx::Package::Win32 and PerlApp

[Mark W. <ma...@ne...>]

Hi All/Mark,
 
I am still having problems using PerlApp since using wxPerl 0.4902 (now
0.4904), when I exit I get an application error.
If I build without the --gui option, I see an error when I exit:
 
"rmtree failed: Directory not empty"
 
And I am most definitely NOT using the --clean option.
 
If I use Wx::Package::Win32 (0.07) by using the BEGIN { use
Wx::Package::Win32 } command I get the following error on startup but the
original error I got when exiting the program disappears.
 
Failed to load shared library '' (error 126: the specified module could not
be found.)
(this message is repeated six times)
 
I am using WinXP SP2, AS Perl 815 (also tried 817), wxWidgets 2.6.3 and
wxPerl 0.4904 (tried all from 0.4902)
 
Thanks for any help.
 
Regards
Mark Wardell

It's just one more datapoint, but I got this error when using the 
SingleInstanceChecker.  Curiously if I delete the single instance 
checker well before I shut down the app then all is fine, but if I kill 
it during shutdown then I get this error.

Could this be what you are seeing?

Hi All,

Wx::Package::Win32 does not yet work with wxPerl 0.49xx. I have had no
time to make and test the changes necessary.

I think that if for now you manually bind each of the wxPerl DLLs in
perlapp you will get a working package.

The problem is that perlapp has built in heuristics to include the
wxperl DLLs for versions of wxPerl 0.27 and below. This does not work
with wxPerl 0.49.

I hope to be able to fix Wx::Package::Win32 before end of May.

Regards

Mark

Hi,

Pasted below is an example .perlapp config file that works for me with
PerlApp 6.0.2
You must bind each of the Wx dlls as shown (replacing the custom naming
with your own)

Then use BEGIN { use Wx::Package::Win32; }
as normal.

I'd be interested to know if this works / does not work.
