RE: Cann't Perl Build with wxWidget 3.0.2

Hi Steve

Glad to see there's someone out there ...

I delete the Wx-0.997-xxx folders in my ..\cpan\build
From the cpan shell, I rerun "install Wx" and the build succeed.

Strangely the touch command (perl.exe -MExtUtils::Command -e touch -- wxt_copy_files) passed since I now have this file in my build/Wx ... folder.


Now the tests fail: when a widget is called: I got a "perl has stopped working" from windows, even if I see the widgets on the screen.
I could try a force install but I will probably have the same problems...

When I tried to run the minimal.exe file I had made directly (without Alien::Wx) the widget appears without errors.

Any idea ?
Is there a way I could successfully install Wx::Alien and telling him : use my "standalone" setup of wxWidgets, don't build your own ?

TIA
François
