    So far, I've been able to answer my perl questions without even posting thanks to the Monks' wisdom, but this gtk+ installation problem remains clueless to me despite the kind post of frazap to share his experience (thanks!). So here I go.

    First, I'm running Strawberry Perl (64-bit) 5.26.0.2-64bit and my gtk+ version is 2.24.10.

    I followed the recipe up until launching the perl commands. Eg.

    c:\strawberry_perl\cpan\build\Cairo-1.106-0>echo %PKG_CONFIG_PATH%

    C:\strawberry_perl\c\lib\pkgconfig ; C:\Program Files\gtk+\lib\pkgconfig

    c:\strawberry_perl\cpan\build\Cairo-1.106-0>echo %PATH%

    …;C:\strawberry_perl\c\bin;C:\strawberry_perl\perl\site\bin;C:\strawberry_perl\perl\bin\;C:\gtk+\bin

    Starting with Cairo: launch the perl command > fine.

    Running dmake: Strawberry complains that I should no longer use dmake but gmake. Fair enough, launch gamke instead and get “undefined reference” errors. Your help and wisdom would be greatly appreciated.

    c:\strawberry_perl\cpan\build\Cairo-1.106-0>gmake

    gmake

      Greetings, mtl3 and welcome to the monastery.

      The following instructions provide another way to install Perl-Gtk2 on the Windows platform. See, FAQ question #4.

      I tested on fresh Strawberry Perl installations v5.22.3.1, v5.24.2.1, and v5.26.0.2. During the Gtk2 installation, a new window may appear asking if you want to move the themes directory. If so, wait for the installation to finish before answering the question.

      The ppm_req script, mentioned in FAQ #4, is found here.

      > ppm install PPM::Sisyphusion

      Tk may be installed similarly, via PPM under Strawberry Perl v5.22.3.1, but not later Perl releases at this time. Trying will not hurt and simply emit a message stating not yet available.

      The list of Sisyphusion packages is found here.
