in reply to Problem installing TK module

I've had issues installing Tk on Strawberry too, but always get it to work. Currently Windows 7 x64 w/ Strawberry 5.18 64-bit:

VinsWorldcom@C:\Users\VinsWorldcom> ver Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601] VinsWorldcom@C:\Users\VinsWorldcom> perl -v This is perl 5, version 18, subversion 1 (v5.18.1) built for MSWin32-x +64-multi-thread [...] VinsWorldcom@C:\Users\VinsWorldcom> perl -MTk -e "print $Tk::VERSION" 804.031

IIRC, it was a 64-bit thing. Anyway, here's the fix I use:

Go to the downloaded working CPAN directory of Tk

cd pTk\mTk\xlib\X11

Edit the file 'X.h'.

Starting at line 43:

43: #ifdef _DWIN64 44: typedef __int64 XID; 45: #else 46: typedef unsigned long XID; 47: #endif

Change to:

43: #ifdef _DWIN64 44: #include <inttypes.h> 45: typedef __int64 XID; 46: #else 47: typedef unsigned long XID; 48: #endif

Go back to root of the build directory and:

dmake dmake test dmake install
