wxwidgets 2.8.12 (and Alien::wxWidgets) on OSX Lion
July 24, 2011 2 Comments
I can finally make this a short post!
I was able to combine the advice found in this post http://wiki.wxwidgets.org/Development:_wxMac and some messages from the gurus on the wxPerl mailing list to other Lion builders.
To build Alien::wxWidgets 2.8.12, as well as (and this was the crux) Wx::Scintilla, on OSX 10.7 (Lion), I’m using:
CFLAGS='-arch i386' CXXFLAGS='-arch i386' CPPFLAGS='-arch i386' LDFLAGS='-arch i386' OBJCFLAGS='-arch i386' OBJCXXFLAGS='-arch i386' perl Build* --wxWidgets-extraflags=" --with-macosx-sdk=/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.6.sdk --with-macosx-version-min=10.6 " --wxWidgets-build='yes' --wxWidgets-source='tar.bz2' --wxWidgets-version=2.8.12
*For simplicity I use the same environment and arguments for the ./Build.PL and ./Build step
Note a few things:
- I am using a 32 bit perl (info below) because I am using wx 2.8.12
- Thus I must include all those -arch prefixes when building (see link above)
- I set the Min version to 10.6, though I have only been able to test on 10.7
- The same flags must be used for wx-things like Wx::Scintilla – in my semi-automated build I drop into a cpanm –look to build these right now, but I hope to include them into my padre-brew.pl script shortly.
About Tom
Hello.
I installed Perl 5.14 with wxwidgets 2.9.2 with some help of Marc (wxperl users list). Everything in 64bit.

Hi Erik,
Thanks for your reply. I think I saw your post here: http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.wxperl.users/2011/07/msg8172.html
I’m hoping to figure it out if I can, but I may ultimately post to the wxPerl list and see if Mark has more sage advice for me as well.
Unfortunately, I’m doing this in the context of building Padre, and I’ve been trying to get it to work with the stable branch of wx which is 2.8.12.
So building using the flags I saw there results in an error covered by the second link in my post (erro In static member function ‘static int wxLocale::GetSystemLanguage()’).
