Re: Error while installing Tk on Window 7

../pTk/mTk/xlib/X11/X.h:44:1: error: unknown type name '__int64'

Current version of Tk on CPAN is 804.031 - and I think that version should build straight out of the box with Strawberry Perl. It certainly should *not* throw up *that* particular error.
The 804.031 version of pTk/mTk/xlib/X11/X.h contains only one occurrence of "__int64":

#if defined(_WIN64) && defined(_MSC_VER)
typedef __int64 XID;
#else
typedef unsigned long XID;
#endif
[download]

If you really must have 804.027, you could try modifying its X.h along the same lines. It's the "&& defined(_MSC_VER)" that ensures that Strawberry's gcc compiler won't see the "__int64" symbol.

Cheers,
Rob

I tried editing X.h but then got another error saying ../pTk/mTk/xlib/X11/Xlib.h:1206:35: ../pTk/tkIntXlibDecls.h: No such file or directory I found a Bug#13923 has been reported in past for the same. Now I've downloaded Tk-804.031_503 and installed it without any mess. And thanks for quick reply. It took me more time to type question than getting reply from you guys :) /ps2931	[reply]

One of the current causes of module installation error on Windows is the gcc version. If for example cygwin is installed on the box, the gcc used to compile will be the cygwin one (because cygwin dir is before strawberry one in PATH variable). after installing strawberry, modify the PATH variable to move strawberry directories first... and it works	[reply]
