Thanks for the quick suggestion! I just notice something in the log:
fetching from: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/wxwindows/wxWidgets-3.0.0.tar.bz2 Applying patch: /Users/gabor/.cpanm/work/1410419901.57381/Alien-wxWidgets-0.65/patches/wxWidgets-2.9.0-magic.patch Am I supposed to download 3.0.0 there? Is applying the 2.9.0 patch the correct thing there? Anyway I tried $ cpanm --look Alien::wxWidgets bash-3.2$ perl Build.PL --wxWidgets-extraflags="--with-libtiff=no" bash-3.2$ perl Build > out.log 2>&1 and it worked! thank you! Gabor
