Work in progress...

These instructions are meant to run a development release of padre using perlbrew (http://perlbrew.pl/). As such it uses a perl installation completely apart from the install system perl and modules.

• Set up perlbrew. Follow the instructions at http://perlbrew.pl/.

• Get the OS dependencies for building Padre:

$ sudo apt-get install libgtk-3-dev libwxgtk3.0-dev

• Install CPAN modules needed for development:

$ cpanm Module::Install Locale::Msgfmt

• Build the"tricky" modules: Alien::wxWidgets and Wx: * Alien::wxWidgets does not build with wxWidgets 3.0.0. We need version 3.0.1, so we need to patch Alien::wxWidgets (https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=121930):

$ cpanm Module::Pluggable # needed for module test
$ mkdir -p ~/tmp/ && cd ~/tmp && cpan -g Alien::wxWidgets && tar xvzf Alien-wxWidgets-*.tar.gz && cd Alien-wxWidgets-*
$ wget https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Attachment/1400329/743429/wx-config-version-and-env.patch
$ patch < wx-config-version-and-env.patch

Accept all the defaults: choose 'no' and use the wxWidgets 3.0.1 libs from /usr)

$ perl Build.PL
$ perl Build
$ perl Build test
$ perl Build install

    * Build Wx.pm (it does NOT work yet,see https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=102135):

Get test dependency

$ cpanm ExtUtils::XSpp
$ cd ~/tmp
$ /usr/bin/cpan -g Wx
$ tar xvzf Wx-*.tar.gz && cd Wx*
$ perl Makefile.PL --extra-cflags='-std=gnu++11'
$ make
$ make test
$ make install
