MakeMaker at that line has:

  my( $this, @libs ) = @_;
  print "Getting lib: ", join "\n",@libs;
  return join ' ', Alien::wxWidgets->libraries( @libs );
}

and infact it hangs when it's called with (stc,core).

Now... I haven't understood  yet what stc package, binary, module, ...
should I install to solve the problem. 

The STC library it's talking about is part of the wxWidgets package. 
It's not built by default, but can be found under the /contrib folders 
of the wx sources.

It's probably a bit unintuitive that Alien::wxWidgets lets you away 
without having STC available despite it being required by the Wx Perl 
module, but that's a separate issue  :-)

I don't know about Mac, but personally on Linux I just let 
Alien::wxWidgets download, configure and build wxWidgets itself despite 
having built the binaries myself beforehand, just because I found that 
easier.

You mightn't want to do that I hope you've got more to work with now you 
know what 'STC' it's talking about. (I'd be surprised if those Qt ports 
would be much use for Wx.)

Good luck,
