If the system's wx library is missing, Wx fails to compile against the
library build by Alien::WxWidgets.
Steps to reproduce:
remove Wx
remove Alien::wxWidgets
uninstall system wx library if present. wx-config command should not
work
execute 'cpan Wx'
Expected behavior:
Alien::wxWidget downloads and builds captive version of wx. Wx
compiles and installs.
Actual behavior:
Alien::wxWidget builds and installs
Wx fails to install, compilation fails on file PropertyGrid.c
System:
arch linux, updated at 23.6.2018
$ uname -a
Linux wall-e 4.17.2-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Jun 16 11:08:59 UTC
2018 x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ cpan --version
/usr/bin/core_perl/cpan version 1.64 calling Getopt::Std::getopts
(version 1.12 [paranoid]),
running under Perl version 5.26.2.
$ perl --version
This is perl 5, version 26, subversion 2 (v5.26.2) built for x86_64-
linux-thread-multi
$ g++ --version
g++ (GCC) 7.3.1 20180406
Alien::wxWidgets 0.96
Wx 0.9932
Note i have tried both g++ versions 7 and 8 with the same result.
Workaround is to remove Alien::wxWidgets, then install distribution wx
library:
$ sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/perl5/5.26/site_perl/auto/Alien
/usr/lib/perl5/5.26/site_perl/Alien /usr/share/man/man3/Alien*
$ sudo pacman -S wxgtk2
$ cpan Wx
