Bug #29311 for Alien-wxWidgets: Default of "no" to build wxWidgets confusing.

Wed Sep 12 04:00:12 2007 mschwern [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Subject:

Default of "no" to build wxWidgets confusing.

I ran the installer today and saw... $ perl Build.PL Creating custom builder _build/lib/My/Build/new_from_context_is_broken.pm in _build/lib/My/Build Checking whether your kit is complete... Looks good Checking prerequisites... Looks good Do you want to build wxWidgets? [no ] Which is a puzzling default. What's the point of the module other than to build and install wxWidgets? Looking through Build.PL I see it checks to see if WX is already installed and if it is it defaults to no. "I see you already have wxWidgets 2.5.3 installed" would help make the situation less puzzling.

Detecting an already installed wxWidgets, as you discovered. Show quoted text

I will add something like that (adding the exact version might not be easy under Windows). Thanks! Mattia ------------------------------------------------------ Leggi GRATIS le tue mail con il telefonino i-mode di Wind http://i-mode.wind.it/

Committed, will be in next release. ======== madhatter:Alien-wxWidgets mbarbon$ perl Build.PL <snip> wxWidgets 2.8.4 seems to be installed in '/usr', so it should be safe to answer 'no' to the following question: Do you want to fetch and build wxWidgets from sources? [no ] ======== Patches for better phrasing welcome. Regards, Mattia
