Re: Cann't Perl Build with wxWidget 3.0.2

Hi Francois,

If you use the force install (I imagine you mean cpan -fi Wx)., it will 
just ignore any non-fatal errors, but actually we don't want any errors 
at all.  I do use the -fi option sometime if I know that the error is in 
the documentation or something, but otherwise I've never found it to be 
a sound strategy.

I would really use the 2-step install.  That way you can test the 
wxWidgets examples (should you want to), you can also avoid modules that 
you don't want to use if they fail.  You can specify the installation 
directoty and so on. You can similarly manipulate the wxPerl install too.

I did start off with package installs many years ago, first from ppm on 
WIndows, but then with cpan on Linux and it wasn't until I used the 
2-step that I could really handle what was happening.  Other people 
swear by citrus perl, but that never worked for me either.

Good luck,

Steve.
