Dear Mailing List,
I am trying to install Padre 0.80 on OS X 10.5.8, with the system Perl
5.8.8.
I followed the instruction at http://padre.perlide.org/trac/wiki/DownloadMacOSX
.
I managed to get a clean install of most of the dependencies, which
was a bit challenging. For the record :
- "test Test::Harness" fails when using "sudo wxperl -MCPAN..." but
is fine with "sudo perl -MCPAN...". Complains about a bareword in /
System/Library/. I guess the path to wxPerl.app is somehow the cause.
- "install Pod::Simple" (for version 3.15) reports success but the
version remains stubbornly stuck at 3.05 no matter how many time I
tried.
- "test Wx::Perl::ProcessStream (for version 0.29) fails with several
"wxMacExecute Bad bundle:" error, but I guess that will be the subject
of a separate post.
The reason for this post is that I am now stuck at step 4, namely
CPAN's "make Wx" (for 0.98) fails with several "Error: Function
definition too short 'INCLUDE_COMMAND:" . A bit of Googling revealed
that in March 2010, Erik Colson reported to this mailing list those
very same errors in the same lines of the same files, for Wx 0.97 and
Perl 5.10. (see http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.wxperl.users/2010/03/msg7191.html)
. Back the, answer was that he needed a new ExtUtils::XSpp and
ExtUtils::ParseXS. The same errors were also reported for Gentoo Linux
(http://bugs.gentoo.org/304483) with Perl 5.8.8. This second report
attributed the error to a bug in ExtUtils::ParseXS and reported it
fixed in ParseXS 2.22.03.
However, I believe my situation is somewhat different, because during
the dependency update for Padre, I picked up ParseXS 2.2206, which I
guess would contain the aforementionned fix...
Hence the question: What gives ?
Any suggestion appreciated.
Regards
François
PS: I have not attached Wx installation log because of its length. The
only bit that looks suspicious to my untrained eye is :
cpan> make Wx

CPAN.pm: Going to build M/MB/MBARBON/Wx-0.98.tar.gz
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
'WX' is not a known MakeMaker parameter name.
Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lwx_macu_media-2.8
