in thread Need help debugging Wx on Strawberry Perl 5.26.1

I had installed other Wx modules (ie. Ailen::wxWidgets) prior to installing this one. I am operating under the assumption that those installed correctly as that was what the CPAN result told me.

Is the Makefile.PL file calling the Wx dlls provided by Alien::wxWidgets? Maybe some probing is needed to check what path is being used. And FWIW, I cannot get Alien::wxWidgets to compile using Strawberry perl so I cannot test it myself.

Just for further debugging: `process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, C:/berrybrew/5.26.2_64_PDL/perl/site/bin/ -c "if not exist gcc_mswudll mkdir gcc_mswudll", ...) failed.` This suggests that the Module::Build / Alien::Build concoction wants to run what it thinks is a shell script through the shell, except that there is none defined: `C:/berrybrew/5.26.2_64_PDL/perl/site/bin/ -c` [download] There is a shell missing after `bin/`. Of course, `cmd.exe` is a shell, but it doesn't take a `-c` command. The snippet passed to that "shell" is clearly `cmd.exe` syntax, so something goes wrong somewhere there. I don't know where that snippet comes from, so it's hard for me to say. Maybe that snippet is the WxWidgets-supplied Makefile so you have to look into `makefile.gcc` to see where/how it sets up a shell and how/why that shell thinks it can run commands with a `sh` syntax when the commands are `cmd.exe` syntax. Update*: Most likely, GNU make examines `$ENV{SHELL}` and if that is set to some weirdo value (or set at all), it will use that instead of falling back on `cmd.exe`. My advice is to unset `$ENV{SHELL}` and try again.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Thanks for the update. `$ENV{SHELL}` is not set in my environment. However, the rt linked to in 11105055 proved to be pertinent. I have sh.exe and make.exe in my default path from an old bash for windows installation. Removing that dir from the path seems to get things working (it is building now).	[reply] [d/l]

Anonymous monk pointed out an obvious error in the invocation, but running `perl Makefile.PL` followed by `gmake` gives the same basic error (see below). This is consistent with CPAN testers so is not a new issue. http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/8aa9fbd0-7033-1014-8ba7-ce7f26264a62. Thanks for the tip about the makefile. I'm not too worried about getting it to work, though, so won't spend much time looking into it unless I have an idle hour or two.

The error appears to indicate that your wxWidgets library does not match your `Wx` XSUB. That is all I can say with certainty.	[reply] [d/l]

Any suggestions on where to look in the sources to see the possible cause of the error? I'm not exactly sure where in Makefile.PL or some other spot where the compiler flags might be assigned.	[reply]
