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

__DATA__



=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"
