Where can I find a current wxPerl PPM?
Question
On September 24, 2009 Sep 24, 2009 wxPerl 0.93 was released to CPAN.
Does anyone know where I can get a current ppm version of wxPerl 0.93 for Active Perl 5.10
The repositories (besides activestate.com) I know and visited are:
- wxperl.co.uk (last version Feb 2009)
- trouchelle.com (shows a fail status for Wx .93)
- cpan.uwinnipeg.ca (Wx-Perl not found)
- www.bribes.org (Wx-Perl not found)
edit: I have a previous version of wxPerl installed and working, but would like to move to the latest release, I am coding for mac, linux, win32 and need to be at the same level on each.
Solution 2
Currently there is no valid ppm for the latest WxPerl release.
This could either indicate WxPerl is no longer used/needed or that most developers have switched to Strawberry Perl and it's embedded c-compiler.
I will update/delete this answer as soon as I find a valid ppm .. and will go and try strawberry on my test machine.
OTHER TIPS
Did you try downloading directly from wxperl.sourceforge.net and installing that.
You may also need to install Alien::wxWidgets
and wxMSW
form here and of course Wxwidget
I can't find ppm either. Padre requires wx, so both still seem to be used. Standard way of installing these days seems to be via Alien::wxWidgets. They say it's easy to install, but I can't do it on strawberry right now.
EDIT: ActiveState provides a PPM. Wx is version 0.9909
EDIT: There seems to be a package (no ppm) on cygports, see http://sourceware.org/cygwinports/
