in reply to Re^13: Download Links for Dmake and MinGW
in thread Download Links for Dmake and MinGW

the Windres.exe issue was resolved by creating a Mingw folder in environment path. Thanks for your suggestions. However, still not able to install with errors like below: 

 dmake
may not locate par::heavy pm

[download]

not sure it means I need to download par::heavy as prerequisite? or something else? Thanks Ying

    PAR::Heavy is part of PAR itself.
    There is no module that I know of named "par::heavy" and I've no idea how the string "par::heavy pm" can possibly be appearing in the output for whatever command it was that you ran.
    I would need to see a copy'n'paste of the actual command you ran, plus a copy'n'paste of a few of the lines that were output before the appearance of that strange message.

    Are you able to install any other modules ?
    If so, then I would suggest creating a new thread about this problem installing PAR as the issues regarding the installation of dmake and MinGW have (presumably) been resolved.

    Cheers,
    Rob

      I was trying to install PAR:Packer after installing dmake and MinGW by ppm. Not sure other modules depend on dmake and MinGW? Haven't successfully installed a single module which depends on dmake and Mingw.

      thoughts: Not sure it is related to installation of Mingw and dmake through ppm before installing PAR::Packer by perl Makefile.pl, dmake... (not through ppm)?

      Thanks Ying

         You'll need to first install those modules (and any prerequisites that they list).
        You'll see that one of those modules listed is PAR, and it's the module that contains PAR/Heavy.pm.

        The simplest way of getting it done is to use the cpan utility (cpan.bat): 
        cpan -i PAR::Packer

        [download]
        But that won't work if you don't have an internet connection. It is possible to configure cpan to install from sources stored on the local machine - but I've no experience with that.
        You'd need to check the cpan documentation - see perldoc cpan
        This excerpt from that documentation looks promising: 
        # with just the dot, install from the distribution in the
# current directory
cpan .

        [download]
        That is (I think), put all of the source distributions (tar.gz files from CPAN) into the same folder on your local machine, cd to that directory and run: 
        cpan . -i Par::Packer

        [download]
        If you have trouble getting that working, ask about it in a new thread.
        Or you can install Par::Packer and its dependency chain in the way you're doing it - it's a bit tedious, but it can be done that way if you want.

        Cheers,
        Rob

        We've been round this loop a few times, if you're working without internet access use minicpan to create a local mirror, copy it to your network/server, configure cpan accordingly o conf urllist push file:///path/to/your/minicpan and install. You've been given a lot of advice that would have saved you a lot of time.
