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 http://search.cpan.org/dist/forks will let me run without it. I've just spent the last hour trying to get http://search.cpan.org/Wx 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.
an endless discussion thread about what features to include.

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?
