Re: Compatible versions of wxWidgets

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your suggestion. Actually I'm not attempting to build Wx multiple times. I realise that "ext/propgrid/PropertyGrid.c" is generated during the build process. The only reason I edited this file and re-executed "make" for a second time is to see if the rest of the source file compiles through - which it did.

Given that a current bug report [rt.cpan.org <http://rt.cpan.org/> #118284] mentions enabling STL for wxWidgets, I'm going to start a new build using the following command in Alien-wxWidgets:

perl Build.PL --prefix=/mnt/SeaLion/usr/local-t --wxWidgets-extraflags="--enable-stl"

Cheers,

Ron.
