Re: [rt.cpan.org #64650] [Max OS X 10.5.6] make test had returned bad status, won't install

[Mark Dootson]

Hi,

Most Wx users on OSX seem to either build their own Perl for wxPerl use 
or us MacPorts or a binary distribution.

However, to get a working Wx with the installed wxWidgets and Perl I 
thing the following should work.

The wxWidgets libraries contain binaries for ppc and i386 architectures, 
but by default your Perl tries to build for x86_64 architecture as well.

You need to run your Perl in 32 bit mode and build for just ppc and i386 
architectures.

Put the attached Config_osx.pm in your @INC, then do following commands.

export VERSIONER_PERL_PREFER_32_BIT=yes
sudo cpan -i ExtUtils::FakeConfig
export FAKECONFIG_USE_ARCHITECTURES="i386 ppc"
export PERL5OPT=-MConfig_osx
sudo cpan -i Wx


Regards

Mark

Hi!

I tried to install Wx here on Mac OS X 10.5.6 x64 with perl v5.10.0
built for darwin-thread-multi-2level. Please find attached the full output.

=head1 NAME

Config_osx - compile Mac OS X modules without '-nostdinc' flag

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  perl -MConfig_osx Makefile.PL
  make
  make test
  make install

with CPAN.pm/CPANPLUS.pm

  set PERL5OPT=-MConfig_osx
  cpanp

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module is only useful at Makefile.PL invocation time. It modifies
some %Config values allowing compilation of Perl XS modules without passing
the '-nostdinc' flag. For current versions of ActivePerl, will also set
the required compiler version (gcc-4.0).

You may override the -nostdinc exclusion  by setting environment variable

export FAKECONFIG_USE_NOSTDINC=1

The module also allows you to specify which architectures should be built
by setting the environment variable FAKECONFIG_USE_ARCHITECTURES.
Allowed architectures are ppc, i386, x86_64

For example, to specify universal 32 bit binaries

export FAKECONFIG_USE_ARCHITECTURES="i386 ppc"

to specify combined 32 and 64bit intel binaries

export FAKECONFIG_USE_ARCHITECTURES="i386 x86_64"
