Bug #72726 for Wx: -D_USE_32BIT_TIME_T mismatch between Wx and Alien::wxWidgets

Hi, Current versions of Alien::wxWidgets and Wx and WxWidgets do not work together on Windows with ActiveState Perl and Visual Studio >= 2005. In particular, the Wx module does not link because it cannot find some of the logging functions like DoLogString exported, which is due to a type error, for some reason Wx is compiled with -D_USE_32BIT_TIME_T while the Alien::wxWidget module isn't, so the time_t parameter there is exported as 64bit but imported as 32bit. When -D_USE_32BIT_TIME_T is removed from the Makefile it links fine and passes the test suite. I don't understand the build system well enough to tell where -D_USE_32BIT_TIME_T is from and why Alien::wxWidgets doesn't end up using it when compiling. regards, -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.

Hi, -D_USE_32BIT_TIME_T is part of ActivePerl configuration ( see perl -V:ccflags ) so this gets used building all Perl modules. Currently Alien::wxWidgets does not pass all Perl flags to the wxWidgets build (most are irrelevant there). I assume by 'current version' you mean wxWidgets development versions 2.9.x and not the stable version 2.8.12? The next development version (2.9.3) is due for a release in early December by which time a new Alien::wxWidgets should have been released. I'm assuming the fix will be to add -D_USE_32BIT_TIME_T to the wxWidgets build. Regards Mark On 25/11/2011 15:21, Bjoern Hoehrmann via RT wrote: Show quoted text

I meant 2.9.2. I also tried 2.8.12 but that would not link either, and I think the list of errors there was longer, so I debugged the one with fewer errors. Would have been easier if Visual Studio would point out which very very similar methods are exported when it can't find one... -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.

Hi, Thanks to your note that -D_USE_32BIT_TIME_T was the issue I have fixed in svn and tested against ActivePerl 1401 using wxWidgets 2.8.12 and the current svn using Visual Studio 10. I wonder if you could find the time to test with your setup? svn code available from: svn export https://wxperl.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/wxperl/Alien-wxWidgets/trunk Alien-wxWidgets svn export https://wxperl.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/wxperl/wxPerl/trunk wxPerl Alien::wxWidgets will suggest that you can build 2.9.3 which you cannot yet ( it has not been released ).

The svn versions, building WxWidgets 2.9.2 from source with ActivePerl and Visual Studio 2010, compile, link, test, and install fine for me. -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Am Badedeich 7 · Telefon: +49(0)160/4415681 · http://www.bjoernsworld.de 25899 Dagebüll · PGP Pub.
