Installing Wx failed

[nonplanarwt]

during my installation i`ll get the following message:

--> Working on Wx::build::MakeMaker Fetching http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/M/MD/MDOOTSON/Wx-0.9932.tar.gz ... OK Configuring Wx-0.9932 ... OK Building and testing Wx-0.9932 ... FAIL !

Installing the dependencies failed: Module 'Wx::build::MakeMaker' is not installed ! Bailing out the installation for Wx-GLCanvas-0.09. Don't worry, this module is optional. The following prerequisites failed to install: Wx

i tried to install on my win10 and ubuntu-orangepie and i get the same failure on both..

the logfile says that 'WX' is not a known MakeMaker parameter name.

can anyone help

If you aren't modifying/developing Slic3r, use a build from dl.slic3r.org/dev

Wxperl is something I am trying to get away from and it isn't something we maintain here.

i tried to brew a slicer version for nonplanar slicing as the instruction manual says

[lordofhyphens]

If brewing you can probably steal the local-lib directory from an archive

[lordofhyphens]

The wxperl dependency is probably the worst part about doing a from source build of Slic3r

[nonplanarwt]

maybe i forgot one step?? this was my way:

1. install Slic3r perl 5.24.1
2. install the boost libaries 1_63_0
3. getting the prebuild perl- dependencies
4. git clone the slic3r from alexrj
5. extract the dependencies (local-lib) in root folder of slic3r
6. perl build.pl and when is start the perl build.pl --gui the message appears....

[lordofhyphens]

Do you have the wx development libraries installed?

The --gui step is completely separate from everything else for the build process (it only installs prerequisites, not anything actually part of Slic3r)

[wjk199511140034]

I recommend Citrus Perl instead of Strawberry Perl install Citrus Perl 5.24.1(just skip set GCC) install the boost libaries 1_63_0 git clone the slic3r from alexrj perl build.pl (you may need cpan JSON App::cpanminus and cpanm local::lib during this step) and then perl build.pl --gui Citrus Perl is very fast than Strawberry Perl in every single process!

---

try cpanm --force Module::Name if you insist Strawberry

[lordofhyphens]

If you are using Strawberry, then just steal the local-lib directory from a release.

@lordofhyphens could you please be more explicit on an example of where to find local-lib directory release?

I have same problem as OP. Tried --force. Tried copying in local-lib from latst release of Slic3r at https://dl.slic3r.org/linux/.

Same errors using Ubuntu 20:

@gdville every release build of Slic3r has a local-lib directory in it. So long as you use the same Perl as was used to build Slic3r, you can copy this folder.

I had a similar problem trying to compile the GUI part on Ubuntu 20.04, as the pre-compiled GUI was unreadable, I found a work around by manually installing wx and wx-perl :

sudo apt-get install libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-0v5
sudo apt-get install libwxbase3.0-0v5
sudo apt-get install libwx-perl

I still get some errors :

App::cpanminus is up to date. (1.7044)

Growl::GNTP is up to date. (0.21)

But the GUI seems to be working.

For the libwww-perl-6.52 FAIL, installing manually the package did not solve this issue, as for my machine the latest version for this package seems to be 6.43-1

@Kramer84, thank you very much! I had the same problem and it helped me.
