Subject:

Can't build on OpenBSD perl 5.10 wxWidgets 2.8.7

Alien::wxWidgets doesn't build on OpenBSD 4.4-current, i386 with wxWidgets 2.8.7. On ./Build install_wx (or just ./Build) the error message appears malformed. $ uname -a OpenBSD godzilla.bsdhosting.local 4.4 GENERIC#1076 i386 $ perl -v This is perl, v5.10.0 built for i386-openbsd $ perl Build.PL Subroutine version::qv redefined at inc/version.pm line 18.

Looks good wxWidgets 2.8.7 seems to be installed in '/usr/local', so it should be safe to answer 'no' to the following question: Do you want to fetch and build wxWidgets from sources?

No updates on this? noone terribly interested in getting WxPerl working on OpenBSD? No Padre either, but then http://padre.perlide.org/search?q=openbsd seems to suggest that it isn't a big deal over there either.

I am interested. I've got a local port for Alien::wxWidgets. I'll sent what I've got to the OpenBSD ports list. The problem is that Alien::wxWidgets expects to find a library or symbolic link with the file extension ".so". There's no such file on OpenBSD. There are only versioned files like "libwx_base.so.1.0". I've attached a patch thats shows the places that would need to be changed. It's probably easier to keep these changes in the OpenBSD ports tree though. Regards, Andreas

I think that ExtUtils::CBuilder 2.4 is only required on Windows. It's probably okay to simply patch Build.PL. $OpenBSD$ --- Build.PL.orig Sat Nov 8 00:52:22 2008 +++ Build.PL Mon Jan 5 11:18:10 2009 @@ -26,7 +26,7 @@ my $build = $class->new 'Module::Pluggable' => '2.6', }, build_requires => { 'Module::Build' => '0.28', - 'ExtUtils::CBuilder' => '0.24', + 'ExtUtils::CBuilder' => '0.21', }, configure_requires => { 'Module::Build' => '0.28', },

though. I'd like to have it in Alien::wxWidgets; I just committed a change based on your patch, that makes the changes conditional on $^O eq openbsd; could you try it out? The only thing that worries me is the fixed '.1.0' suffix. Isn't there a way to link to a library without knowing the exact version/revision? Thanks, Mattia
