DESCRIPTION
Please see Alien for the manifesto of the Alien namespace.
In short "Alien::wxWidgets" can be used to detect and get configuration settings from an installed
wxWidgets.
METHODS
load/import
use Alien::wxWidgets version => 2.004 | [ 2.004, 2.005 ],
compiler_kind => 'gcc' | 'cl', # Windows only
compiler_version => '3.3', # only GCC for now
toolkit => 'gtk2',
debug => 0 | 1,
unicode => 0 | 1,
mslu => 0 | 1,
key => $key,
;
Alien::wxWidgets->load( <same as the above> );
Using "Alien::wxWidgets" without parameters will load a default configuration (for most people this will
be the only installed confiuration). Additional parameters allow one to be more selective.
If there is no matching configuration the method will die().
In case no arguments are passed in the "use", "Alien::wxWidgets" will try to find a reasonable default
configuration.
Please note that when the version is pecified as "version =" 2.004> it means "any version >= 2.004" while
when specified as "version =" [ 2.004, 2.005 ]> it means "any version => 2.004 and < 2.005".
key
my $key = Alien::wxWidgets key;
Returns an unique key that can be used to reload the currently-loaded configuration.
version
my $version = Alien::wxWidgets->version;
Returns the wxWidgets version for this "Alien::wxWidgets" installation in the form MAJOR + MINOR / 1_000
+ RELEASE / 1_000_000 e.g. 2.008012 for wxWidgets 2.8.12 and 2.009 for wxWidgets 2.9.0.
config
my $config = Alien::wxWidgets->config;
Returns some miscellaneous configuration information for wxWidgets in the form
{ toolkit => 'msw' | 'gtk' | 'motif' | 'x11' | 'cocoa' | 'mac',
debug => 1 | 0,
unicode => 1 | 0,
mslu => 1 | 0,
}
include_path
my $include_path = Alien::wxWidgets->include_path;
Returns the include paths to be used in a format suitable for the compiler (usually something like
"-I/usr/local/include -I/opt/wx/include").
defines
my $defines = Alien::wxWidgets->defines;
Returns the compiler defines to be used in a format suitable for the compiler (usually something like
"-D__WXDEBUG__ -DFOO=bar").
c_flags
my $cflags = Alien::wxWidgets->c_flags;
Returns additional compiler flags to be used.
compiler
my $compiler = Alien::wxWidgets->compiler;
Returns the (C++) compiler used for compiling wxWidgets.
linker
my $linker = Alien::wxWidgets->linker;
Returns a linker suitable for linking C++ binaries.
link_flags
my $linkflags = Alien::wxWidgets->link_flags;
Returns additional link flags.
libraries
my $libraries = Alien::wxWidgets->libraries( qw(gl adv core base) );
Returns link flags for linking the libraries passed as arguments. This usually includes some search path
specification in addition to the libraries themselves. The caller is responsible for the correct order of
the libraries.
link_libraries
my @libraries = Alien::wxWidgets->link_libraries( qw(gl adv core base) );
Returns a list of linker flags that can be used to link the libraries passed as arguments.
import_libraries
my @implib = Alien::wxWidgets->import_libraries( qw(gl adv core base) );
Windows specific. Returns a list of import libraries corresponding to the libraries passed as arguments.
shared_libraries
my @shrlib = Alien::wxWidgets->shared_libraries( qw(gl adv core base) );
Returns a list of shared libraries corresponding to the libraries passed as arguments.
library_keys
my @keys = Alien::wxWidgets->library_keys;
Returns a list of keys that can be passed to "shared_libraries", "import_libraries" and "link_libraries".
library_path
my $library_path = Alien::wxWidgets->shared_library_path;
Windows specific. Returns the path at which the private copy of wxWidgets libraries has been installed.
prefix
my $prefix = Alien::wxWidgets->prefix;
Returns the install prefix for wxWidgets.
dump_configurations
Alien::wxWidgets->dump_configurations( %filters );
Prints a list of available configurations (mainly useful for interactive use/debugging).
show_configurations
Alien::wxWidgets->show_configurations( %filters );
Prints a human-readable list of available configurations (mainly useful for interactive use/debugging).
get_configurations
my $configs = Alien::wxWidgets->get_configurations( %filters );
Returns a list of configurations matching the given filters.
