I am trying to install GTK in windows and use GLADE develop GUI interface. For GTK i need to install Glib, which is creating a problem for me. I am trying to do:
perl Makefile.pl
dmake
dmake test
dmake install
but I am getting stuck on the dmake step. The error I am seeing is:
--------------- dmake.exe: Error code 1, while making 'Glib.o'-------------
Is it possible to use GLADE and Glib with perl on windows? If so, am I making a mistake in building it?
I'm using gtk 2.22 in xp and 7 compiled in xp with msvisual c++ 2010 and activePerl 5.012. It was a dirty job but it works for me. I did this a few months ago and these are the notes I had written.
get msvcr100.dll and put it in system32 folder.
compile ExtUtils-Depends and ExtUtils-PkgConfig
get Glib and comment the line with unistd.h in gtk\include\font??foo (it's a linux header!)
add include stdlib.h , io.h and getopt.h in the same file. Get it from http://www.pwilson.net/sample.html
compile Cairo
compile Pango (I had some problems but since I did not pretend to use pango I just comment 3 references to gtk2perl????.xs)
compile gtk (the dirty job again: comment references to gdkcairo.xs and gdkprintcontext)
I just use a few of cairo so it works for me.
PDF creation (for exemple) will fail! If you need all the features may be you need to cross compile all this stuff in linux.

I recently compiled a perl script using "pp" (Perl Packager) on an x86 linux box running Manjaro. I had someone test it on their x86 Debian 10 box, but it wouldn't run.
He said that since Libperl.so has a dependence on glibc v2.29. Since his OS release only allows up to a v2.28, that it's preventing it from executing.
Is there a way for me to compile my script with my version of the libraries so it will run on any x86 linux machine?
I ran the following command to compile my code:
pp -o oag1025 oag1025.pl
I tried using some of the options outlined here, but I couldn't get anywhere:

We have a Solaris 11 system with gcc 7.3, we need to install the Ada package. On Linux gcc 7 came with the Ada/GNAT as part of the gcc install:
apt install gcc
I visited AdaCore looks like Solaris (SPARC) is not longer on the list. I need to use Ada95 and we want the same compiler on both Linux and Solaris in any case.
pkg install gcc
Only installed various C++ commands and Fortran.
pkg install gcc-ada
And variants like gcc7ada, found nothing to install.
If must, we can rebuild the Ada component of GCC 7, however I haven't found a clear cood-book style "How To ..."for that (yet).
Hopefully you can point me to these items in order of preference to help us get back-on-track.
Solaris 11 gcc-ada package for gcc7/Solaris 11 spark, and the package repository.
An 'alternative' package repository were I can retrieve the GCC Ada tooling.
Pre-build GCC 7 Ada module that we can copy to the right places.
Ready-rolled Build Ada/GNAT project for Solaris and how to download and get start building.
Instructions to download and build gcc-ada with gcc 7 on Solaris (or Unix).
From th epast few days searching about on Gnu Compiler Collection, Oracle, the package manager searches, google and so forth ... It really seems like there's next to no support for CGG Ada on Solaris these days.
I very interested in other solutions beyond that list. For instance, has anyone cross-compiled from Linux to Solaris? Would that work with GDB on the Solaris machine anyway?
Looking forward to your suggestions.
I've successfully built gcc 7.50 (x86_64 native with i386 cross-compiler) with GNAT on OpenIndiana (Hipster 2020/10) using the following procedure.
Download the bootstrap compiler from Dragonlace at http://downloads.dragonlace.net/src/ada-bootstrap.x86_64.solaris.511.tar.bz2
Get the illumos gcc 7.5.0 source from https://github.com/illumos/gcc/tree/il-7_5_0
Put the bootstrap compiler's bin directory at the front of $PATH, replace /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/cpp /usr/bin/g++ with symlinks to their counterparts in the bootstrap compiler directory (see note below re g++ and c++)
Make sure you've got gnu-binutils and gmake; then run contrib/download_prerequisites
Configure with
--enable-languages='c ada c++' --build=x86_64-aux-solaris2.11 --enable-threads=posix --disable-libmudflap --disable-libgomp --disable-libssp --disable-libquadmath --disable-nls --disable-shared --disable-lto --disable-libstdcxx-pch --enable-multilib --with-gnu-as --with-as=/usr/bin/gas --without-gnu-ld --with-ld=/usr/bin/ld
gmake and then gmake install
NOTES:
This setup should be close enough to Solaris 11 to work. If it doesn't, try using the regular gcc 7.5.0 release rather than the illumos-modified branch.
If you get stuck at a linking stage, try using a gcc ld, but you should definitely try to use the Solaris ld first. The gnu as (gas) makes the build go much more smoothly. I didn't have any problems, but if you get stuck at the end of stage 1 or the beginning of stage 2, try setting $CONFIG_SHELL=/usr/bin/ksh -- I think it has been fixed, but at least with older gcc releases one needed to specify ksh because the built-in sh had some non-POSIX peculiarities that didn't work with some of the components' makefiles
I couldn't get one of the support libs for gnat to compile easily without building gcc c++ and using g++ with a full bootstrap. You might be able to figure it out, but the path of least resistance is likely to build gcc c++ and put the g++ symlink in /usr/bin, which is where the makefile wanted to find it.
Please note that I don't know much about Solaris, but a quick search on Google gave me the website OpenCSW. This website provides the packages gcc4ada and gcc5ada.
It appears that gcc5ada is build using a makefile (as found here, in particular notice line 424). A similar makefile exists for gcc7ada (as found here, in particular notice line 426). However, while it seems that the package "gcc7ada" can be created with the latter makefile, it is not published on the OpenCSW.org website (website is no longer updated?).
You could try to install gcc5ada first and then use this old GCC/GNAT compiler as a bootstrapper for compiling the required version (using the GCC 7 makefile).
I'm trying to run this script on my computer (MAC)
http://mkweb.bcgsc.ca/color-summarizer/?download
It's the first time in my life touching the terminal... so you understand that I ask very basic questions. please do forgive me...
basically when i execute the script, I would always get this kind of message :
Can't locate Imager/File/GIF.pm in #INC (you may need to install the
Imager::File::GIF module) (#INC contains:
/Applications/colorsummarizer/colorsummarizer-0.77/bin/lib

And so I use :
sudo cpan install Imager::File::GIF
for example. But the I get this :
Warning (mostly harmless): No library found for -lgif
GIF: Test code failed: Can't link/include 'gif_lib.h', 'stdio.h',
'errno.h', 'string.h', 'gif'

/usr/bin/perl Makefile.PL -- NOT OK
Running make test
Make had some problems, won't test
Running make install
Make had some problems, won't install
Could not read metadata file. Falling back to other methods to determine prerequisites
And ! it seems like even when I appear to install something successfully, The system ask me to re-install them again and again and again...
Maybe I did some very fundamental mistakes ?
Thanks a lot for your attention
The issue identified by the following message is not harmless at all, actually:
Warning (mostly harmless): No library found for -lgif
GIF: Test code failed: Can't link/include 'gif_lib.h', 'stdio.h',
'errno.h', 'string.h', 'gif'
The module uses libgif to do all the heavy work, but it's not installed. Furthermore, the installation procedure needs the library's header files.
Imager::File::GIF provides GIF file format support for Imager.
It requires libgif to be installed, including development headers.
For Linux distributions this typically requires installation of the
associated -dev or -devel package.
Installing the required library and header files might be as simple as asking your OS's package manager to install libgif-dev or libgif-devel.
Try to just install Imager like this, it might be all you need:
sudo cpan Imager
After that it could open gifs for me.
I've seen two threads similar to my question, neither with an answer that helps me.
I have been given a new laptop running Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 64-bit, on which I've installed Active Perl 5 'version 20, subversion 2 (v5.20.2) built for MSWin32-x64-multi-thread' and Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2015.
Both 'C:\perl64' and 'c:\program files (32)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\VC\bin' are in my system path [without the single quotes, of course] and if I run nmake on the command line without any arguments and without a makefile in the pwd I get back the following message, definitely indicating that nmake can be found:
Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 14.00.23026.0
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
NMAKE : fatal error U1064: MAKEFILE not found and no target specified
Stop.
So far, so good. Now, when I run Makefile.PL to start installing a new package, I get the following message:
It looks like you don't have either nmake.exe or dmake.exe on your
PATH, so you will not be able to execute the commands from a Makefile.
You can install dmake.exe with the Perl Package Manager by running:
ppm install dmake
Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Generating a
dmake-style Makefile
What I don't understand and would like to resolve is why Perl does not see the nmake in my PATH environment? I've installed this same package previously on a number of different machines in the past - the only real variation in any of these has been in the version number of Perl and MSVS release and the bit-version of Perl [in almost all cases I've been working 32-bit instead of 64], but I don't see why either of these would make a difference to Perl not recognizing the MSVS bin directory in my %PATH%
Installing dmake or minGW is not a solution for me: I've already done both and get a series of errors I've never experienced before with this package, so I'd really like to find a solution that would allow me to use nmake - if I still get errors afterwards, I'll work those out when I get to them.
Thanks
Edit C:\Perl64\lib\ExtUtils\MakeMaker.pm and add "require Module::Build;" before "require Exporter;" line. The top should now look something like this:
# $Id$
package ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
use strict;
BEGIN {require 5.006;}
require Module::Build; # THIS IS ADDED
require Exporter;
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker::Config;
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker::version; # ensure we always have our fake version.pm
use Carp;
use File::Path;
That fixed it for me.
My perl version is 5.16.2 on my Windows 7 64bit, I failed to install PAR:Packer. I tried active perl and strawberry perl , both got the same error. Can you please give me some suggestion. Below is my experience:
I tried ppm install PAR:Packer, version 1.013, But when I use pp, I got the error:
Perl lib version (5.16.2) doesn't match executable version (v5.16.0).
I also tried cpan install PAR:Packer, version 1.014. But I got the error during installation. The pop up window says: par.exe has stopped working. Then command prompt got the error:
C:\Perl64\bin\perl.exe -Mblib run_with_inc.pl par.exe -q -B -Oparldyn.exe
system(par.exe -I C:\Users\PAR-Packer-1.014\blib\arch -I C:\Users\PAR-Packer-1.014\blib\lib - IC:/Perl64/site/lib -IC:/Perl64/lib -I. -q -B -Oparldyn.exe) failed:
dmake.exe: Error code 255, while making 'parldyn.exe'
dmake.exe: Error code 255, while making 'subdirs'
I have googled extensively, but as of yet haven't been able to find a solution, any help is greatly appreciated, thanks a lot!
I simply changed the line 60 in .../perl64/Config.pm from
`$^V eq 5.16.3`
to
`$^V eq 5.16.3 or $^V eq 5.16.0`
and voila! My par-packer module 1.013 installed through ppm (ActiveState Perl 5.16.3) works ...
I'll start off with my own environment:
Windows 7 x64 en_US
Strawberry Perl v5.16.2 32bit
I just confirmed that I do have PAR::Packer working on my environment. I'm running PAR::Packer version 1.014.
There is a bug logged about PAR::Packer 1.013 failing to build on certain environments. The bug is logged on CPAN here: https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=77408
I recommend trying one of the following paths forward (based on your build version requirements):
Install PAR::Packer 1.0.14.
Install the patched version of PAR::Packer 1.013 that is available at http://strawberryperl.com/package/kmx/perl-modules-patched/PAR-Packer-1.013_patched.tar.gz
To build you will need any dependencies as well. Hopefully those work just fine through CPAN.
Download either the patched version listed above or the latest version from the CPAN site, then execute:
perl Makefile.pl
dmake
dmake test
dmake install
Keep in mind PAR::Packer requires a C/C++ compiler to build.
I ran into this exact same error scenario with Perl 5.16.3 on my Windows 7 64 bit machine. I started my Perl tinkering with ActiveState and later installed other related programs like Komodo Edit and finally installed StrawberryPerl. After reading quite a few of these online posts I tried the manual dmake methods and whatever other suggestions I could find. I then tried uninstalling ActiveState. That didn't help either. Finally, I went on an uninstall binge and found that after uninstalling all of the ActiveState and Komodo applications (along with a bunch of other stuff I wasn't using anymore) I was able to successfully install and use pp in two simple steps from the cpan prompt:
install CPAN
install pp
I was going to uninstall and re-install StrawberryPerl next but didn't have to. The install CPAN may not be necessary but it was suggested in the log output in one of my previously failed attempts so I figured I'd try that first. Hope this saves someone all the hassle I went to as a begginer.
