Grumble, mutter, Padre's dependencies, Grr, Mutter

I saw the screen shots of Padre 0.46 in http://ahmadzawawi.blogspot.com/2009/09/whats-new-in-padre-046.html> and thought I'd try it myself. I've got a non-threaded perl but potentially will let me run without it. I've just spent the last hour trying to get and its dependencies installed. Mostly its just oddness like a default in wxWidgets to demand OpenGL. Now I'm just hanging out in Wx's build:

/opt/perl-5.10.0/bin/perl /opt/perl-5.10.0/lib/5.10.0/ExtUtils/xsubpp  -noprototypes -nolinenumbers  -typemap /opt/perl-5.10.0/lib/5.10.0/ExtUtils/typemap -typemap ../../typemap -typemap typemap  RichText.xs > RichText.xsc && mv RichText.xsc RichText.c
Cannot open 'xspp -t typemap.xsp -t ../../typemap.xsp XS/RichTextCtrl.xsp |': No such file or directory in RichText.xs, line 65
make[2]: *** [RichText.c] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/josh/.cpan/build/Wx-0.92-psm_3c/ext/richtext'
make[1]: *** [subdirs] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/josh/.cpan/build/Wx-0.92-psm_3c/ext'
make: *** [subdirs] Error 2

Anyway, kind of annoying. Wx is prettier than Tk but Tk is easier to install.

Prettier is better than Easy

Indeed, and in the end it was more or less decided that the install problems could be fixed more easily than Tk could be made less ugly.

So there's hope that there will be ever Wx for FreeBSD?

According to http://portsmon.freebsd.org/portoverview.py?portname=p5-wx there already is a FreeBSD/Wx package.

External dependencies are the worst

My experience in this area is the same.
