... in my latest "cpan force install Alien::wxWidgets" ... I now have an error message saying Alien::wxWidgets cannot be compiled:
Force means go ahead and install even if ... testing ... fails
But if there is a problem building/cc++compiling a distribution, then there is no module to be installed , as it hasn't been built/compiled yet, so nothing that can be force installed
If you want to build this module you need to step outside of cpan ( cpan[2]> notest install HTTP::Proxy ) and run these commands yourself
perl Build.PL
perl Build
perl Build test
perl Build install
Then you'll have an idea of where the problem lies and can go about solving it -- when automatic doesn't work you gotta go step by step
wxWidgets has over 5000 files, and a couple of hundred makefile.gcc files ...
If Alien-wxWidgets/Build.PL can't download the source ...
