I am trying to install Wx 0.85 from CPAN. I'm running (Strawberry) Perl v 5.10.0 on Windows XP v 5.1.2600. I successfully ran the following commands: Show quoted text

cpan> look Alien::wxWidgets

$ perl Makefile.PL $ dmake $ dmake test $ dmake install $ exit I then ran: Show quoted text

cpan> install Wx

and got the following error message: dmake.EXE: Error code 129, while making 'Wx.o' after several screenfuls of error messages, following the pattern: Wx.c: In function `void XS_Wx__VideoMode_Matches(PerlInterpreter*, CV*)': Wx.c:17961: error: `wxVideoMode' was not declared in this scope Wx.c:17961: error: `other' was not declared in this scope Wx.c:17961: error: expected primary-expression before ')' token Wx.c:17961: error: expected `;' before "wxPli_sv_2_object" Wx.c:17962: error: `THIS' was not declared in this scope Wx.c:17962: error: expected primary-expression before ')' token Wx.c:17962: error: expected `;' before "wxPli_sv_2_object"

Hi, could you provide the full build output, or at least the first error messages from the build of Wx.o? Thanks! Mattia

Got it: it is an interaction between MakeMaker, Strawberry Perl and the way wxPerl is built. You can "solve" it by doing (in the CPAN shell): Show quoted text

cpan> look Wx

$ perl Makefile.PL $ dmake all test install I do not know of any way to workaround it; see https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=21539 I will try to at least come up with a warning for Strawberry Perl users. Regards, Mattia Show quoted text

Strawberry Perl October has mostly fixed this problem now, but it would probably be a very good idea in the Makefile.PL for Wx to do something like the following. @ARGV = grep { ! /^(?INC|LIBS)\b/ } @ARGV;
