Hi Mehmet,
Thanks for your email.
James' list does indeed look intimidating, but I hope once we start the
momentum will build.
Wx and Alien::Widgets are not abandoned, they are just under-resourced.
Here is a list of recent updates at sourceforge:
http://sourceforge.net/p/wxperl/code/HEAD/tree/
We here are all the maintainers. If we don't like something we fix it
in our own environments and post it here. Mark will migrate it to the
various repositories.
We have had almost as much activity on the list in January 2016 than in
the whole of 2015. Long may it continue!
I don't have a Mac, but maybe I can help you with your installation
problems. Are you still getting the same error? Ie "No wxWidgets build
found.".
Please remind us how you are installing. The purpose of
Alien::wxWidgets is to install wxWidgets in a selected directory and
then point wxPerl to it. There is normally a configuration file or
environment variable that will point wxPerl (ie Wx) to the right directory.
Please post your current status and I'll try to help you.
Regards
Steve.

I was looking for a proper pigeon hole to place my support request wrt
wxPerl for Win-64 on ActivePerl
<http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.wxperl.users/2016/01/msg9577.html>.
On the main wiki page, I found links to two support pages, Wx
<https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=Wx> and
Alien::wxWidgets
<https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=Alien-wxWidgets>,
at cpan, but they are not maintained.
41678 <https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=41678> *Can't build
on OpenBSD perl 5.10 wxWidgets 2.8.7
<https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=41678>* open Critical 6
years ago 0.40
0.41
0.42
Maintainers of both sites are listed as MBARBON
<https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/ByMaintainer.html?Name=MBARBON>, and
MDOOTSON
<https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/ByMaintainer.html?Name=MDOOTSON>.
Clearly they abandoned the effort, or that is the impression I get
from outside.
Does anyone willing to take responsibility to maintain these pages?
As I understand from you discussions, there is a new on-going
reformation attempt.
James' list is a good plan but it also seems overwhelming to approach,
unless there is a prioritization in place.
I would suggest assigning a high priority to making the existing
software work on the current platforms with the latest versions of
Perl/ActivePerl.
My two cents.
