At least with Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express edition, manifest files need to be embeded into DLLs. wxWidgets 2.8.10 does not do that, so Alien::wxWidgets needs to make it do that. This can be done using cd lib\vc_dll for %q in (*.manifest) do ( mt -nologo -manifest %q -outputresource:%~nq;2 del %q ) although adding the following where appropriate in the makefile.vc files would be better: if exists SOMETHING.manifest mt -nologo -manifest SOMETHING.manifest -outputresource:SOMETHING;2 if exists SOMETHING.manifest del SOMETHING.manifest You might be interested in the following thread: http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=813799

The MSVC6 build problem you mention at the top should be solved in 0.96 (released today); could you detail the "DLL errors and malfunctions when you try to some aspects of Wx" caused by the missing manifest in DLLs? After making the fix, I'd like to have a test case to check everything is working. Thanks! Mattia BTW, I really loved the "Wx is a pain to install on any platform" comment near the end of the thread

When launching Wx::Demo's wxperl_demo, you get warnings on the console and a popup dialog. If you go to the demos involving HTML, they are displaying as text with the tags stripped. e.g. <h1>h1</h1> <ul> <li>foo</li> <li>bar</li> </ul> displays as the unformatted string h1 foo bar Show quoted text

I added the mt.exe calls to Alien::wxWidgets 0.50. Thanks! Mattia
