Description Michael Herger 2009-09-22 05:28:12 UTC

...so we only have to install Perl and PDK. 

Latest Alien::Wx is incompatible with perlapp, we have to stick with 0.39 for now.

Comment 1 Michael Herger 2009-09-23 00:28:51 UTC

Spent more trying trying to convince perlapp to search for the Wx modules in our CPAN folder. But no way. It's always looking in c:/perl... run from source it would run, but perlapp fails.

Fixed Bug: 14186
Description: add Wx and related modules needed to build the Windows control panel. We can't move this to our CPAN folder as PerlApp or Wx or Wx::Perl::Packager insists in finding it in c:/perl only. Change buildme.pl to copy these modules in that place. This should get rid of the requirement to add modules to a standard Perl installation on our build hosts.

Some weeks ago ActiveState developer Jan Dubois told me : "I had given up on wxPerl a few years ago, as the code kept on changing and playing evil tricks with the way it has to be loaded.". If he can't figure it out...
