Results: Using /usr/bin/wx-config-2.8 instead of one provided by wxgtk3.0 makes good alien, compiles perl-wx against wx-gtk2.8 and perl-wx-glcanvas works again (Modification is only needed to alien) Related: /usr/bin/wx-config-2.8 If i keep wxgtk uninstalled maybe i will be able to provide patch for alien… symlinking wx-config to /usr/bin/wx-config-2.8 makes proper alien package Unrelated: It should also depend on perl-module-pluggable https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/perl-module-pluggable/ PKGBUILD: https://gist.github.com/swiftgeek/9854957 @jnbek I can take over this package if You want ;)

Further diff against working system - gtk2_2_8_12_uni_gcc_3_4.pm should be in package instead of gtk2_3_0_0_uni_gcc_3_4.pm … i guess that downgrading wxwidgets might help… then if that works, we need to figure out how to patch perl-alien-wxwidgets to use older wx (same probably will go for perl-wx)

well perl-wx requires alien to be installed… smaller package doesn't allow for compiling of perl-wx (i can also select if I remove PERL_MM_USE_DEFAULT=1 ), bigger allows for compilation Inclusion of wx in alien depends only on whether alien is installed or not (if it is installed it doesn't asks any questions). "Wx not found" looks like this (according to many mailinglists messages installing perl-wx solves this issue) Searching configuration for: wxWidgets (any version) for (any toolkit); compiler compatibility: (any compiler) (any version); Available configurations: wxWidgets 3.000000 for gtk2; compiler compatibility: gcc 3.4; options: no debug, unicode, no mslu

Yea, I noticed that too, I even installed perl-wx BEFORE building this module, and it still insisted on downloading and compiling the Wx module.... most frustrating. Do you have the perl-wx AUR installed? see if that makes a difference and let me know your results.

If i try to build this package when "perl-alien-wxwidgets" is already installed resulting package is quite small (<0.5MiB), hovever when it wasn't previously installed - it downloads and tries to compile (perl-)wx on its own… (>14MiB) I cannot make neither of them work with perl-wx-glcanvas: First claims that there is no proper Wx available, 2nd just throws thrash around like "/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/Alien/wxWidgets/gtk_2_8_12_uni/lib/wx/include/gtk2-unicode-release-2.8" I have absolutely no idea what is happening
