Imager::File::TIFF Dependencies

BrentD has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have written a program that allows me to input some info, then calls Imager to output the info as Group4 Fax encoded TIF files. I am running this under Windows 10 64-Bit. The program runs fine if I use the .pl file, but if I use pp to build an .exe file and copy to another system, the file will not run. This is my current pp command call:

pp -M Imager::Font::W32 -M Imager::File::TIFF -M -a cbxarrow.xbm -a ar
+rowdownwin.xbm -u -o Program.exe Program.pl

This is what happens when I run the .exe file:

E:\>Program.exe
Can't load 'C:\Users\generic\AppData\Local\Temp\par-67656e65726963\cac

Seems obvious that I have some sort of missing dependency, but I can't seem to find what that might be. Any ideas?

when using pp I tend to include the `-x` flag to determine additional runtime requirements.	[reply] [d/l]

Tried doing `pp -x -o test.exe program.pl` Running the resultant test.exe produces exactly the same result as from my original post.	[reply] [d/l]

If you can post a minimal example program which replicates your problem, along with your perl version I'll try to replicate and diagnose further.	[reply]

Give ppsimple.pl a try	[reply]

ppsimple produced exactly the same error message when the exe file was run.	[reply]

ppsimple produced exactly the same error message when the exe file was run. I'm sorry but thats is impossible :) That like saying "doesn't work" without disclosing basic diagnostic/debugging output , which ppsimple.pl produces by default update: well I just tested it, it works as expected, so I don't know what you did, I wish you would show me the log	[reply]

Probably not relevant, but what's the empty -M flag for (as in "`-M -a cbxarrow.xbm`")?	[reply] [d/l]
Re^2: Imager::File::TIFF Dependencies by BrentD (Sexton) on May 23, 2017 at 13:51 UTC
The empty -M was a typo. Will try to get a minimal example up today. Got a server down atm, so that takes priority.	[reply]
