Re^7: pp with gui (debug without --gui)

    So, did you even go so far as to search google using these messages, or even the first one? You reported this problem two weeks ago, various suggestions and diagnostic avenues have been suggested, most of which you seem to have ignored. Your code provided is essentially a copy/paste from this SO post, with an additional button on the GUI, which includes one solution (already suggested here). If explicitly linking a library ensure they actually exist at the path you provide.

    If you want to use tool to successfully achieve a goal you need to learn how they work and how to use them. If people make suggestions it's usually not for their own good. If someone suggests various things to try, try them all before replying

    The example works properly with the pp call provided under Windows 7 with Strawberry Perl.

      I explained in another post why I haven't had a lot of time to work with this. Under normal circumstances yes it would be good to learn the tool inside out and only then ask questions. Right now this is a side issue that I just need to get working for a specific purpose. I have done everything that I knew or figured out how to do (read the old posts). I have been sending the output as I do them in hopes it will point someone more knowledgeable to the problem. What is the sense of me going step 1 though 10 if someone could have looked at step 5 and saw the problem. If you do not wish to help or don't think I'm worth the effort then nobody is forcing you to.

        "I explained in another post why I haven't had a lot of time to work with this. Under normal circumstances yes it would be good to learn the tool inside out and only then ask questions."

        So your logic is that your time is limited, rather than follow instructions on how to best resolve your problem or even get help for it you choose to ignore this, and continue to run into problems. This plan isn't working out well for you so far.

        "I have done everything that I knew or figured out how to do (read the old posts). I have been sending the output as I do them in hopes it will point someone more knowledgeable to the problem."

        Not true, you've been given lots of advice that you've ignored, time and time again, and posted no output, error or warnings. Most recently here where you ignore the advice about not hiding runtime errors and ignoring problems. If you don't want peoples help in solving a problem, stop asking.

        "What is the sense of me going step 1 though 10 if someone could have looked at step 5 and saw the problem."

        Had you bothered to do so you'd be further forward. You have a problem to solve, you have to debug this, albeit as instructed by others. If you don't want to do this I suggest a change of career, as computer programming involves a lot of this.

      Oh, I was so hoping is was going to be that simple but I fixed the typo and am getting the same result.

      Here is the command I am using now. Please let me know if you see any more errors.

      pp --gui -o gui1.exe gui1.pl -l C:/Perl/lib/auto/Tcl/tkkit.dll -l C:/Perl/lib/auto/Tcl/Tcl.dll -x

        Why are you still using --gui while debugging this?

        Where is the debugging output?

        Thanks for ignoring all the advice given in this thread. You were specifically told not to use the -gui option, to actually tell us what problems you experience. Unless you do this there's no point in posting.
