Re: Installing Tk problems with Active State on Windows

FWIW, that bufferoverflowU stuff appears to be geared to the microsoft compiler and sdk, see Bug #46112 for Tk: Problems compiling on x64 ActivePerl (Win Vista 64)

So you might get microsoft compiler and use that instead of mingw compiler, see How to install CPAN modules into ActivePerl

Or delete all that bufferoverflowU stuff from Makefile.PL. But there is no bufferoverflowU stuff in Makefile.PL :)	[reply]

But there is no bufferoverflowU stuff in Makefile.PL Correct. It's to be found in perl/lib/Config_heavy.pl - so remove all (2, I think) occurrences of bufferoverflowU.lib from that file to fix that problem. But, unlike 32-bit ActivePerl and 32-bit MinGW, 64-bit ActivePerl won't work with 64-bit MinGW straight out of the box. (ExtUtils::FakeConfig needs to be installed.) Cheers, Rob	[reply]
