| Subject: | enable Alien::wxWidgets to install from local wxWidgets archive file |
Hello there,
I was trying to install Alien::wxWidgets in a Windows 7 box inside a very restrictive network that does not allow be to download any file from Sourceforge.
Fortunately, I was able to download from another repository the tarball wxWidgets-2.8.12.tar.gz but Alien::wxWidgets always tries to download from the internet.
I made some modifications (see attached patch) that looks for an environment variable called WX_WIDGETS_LOCAL and will look for the tarball locally.
Unfortunately, I could not find out why changing only fetch_wxwidgets() does not accomplish the desired feature. The function could return $path, but that wouldn't help because the File::Fetch object wouldn't have the location of the tarball.
Due that, I added an additional verification of $ENV{WX_WIDGETS_LOCAL) in extract_wxwidgets() and that did the job.
I hope the patches helps, in my machine the installation of Alien::wxWidgets occurred smoothly after the change.
I used a Windows 7 service pack 1, 32 bits with Strawberry Perl v5.16.3.
Regards,
Alceu
