Re: Tk pp fails at very end

Hello smh,

while I cannot resolve directly your problem, I can suggest a workaround. I abandoned active perl many years ago and I permanently switched to strawberry flavour.

Strawberry comes within many preinstalled and working packages including PAR. At least you can try a portable strawberry distro, launch it using portableshell.bat then launch a CPAN client to install Tk and finally build the executable using the strawberry pp.bat you already have. Once I get troubles including a missing dll file for a Tk application.. but I'm not able to find the post about it.

I also have many useful links about pp and PAR::Packer in my homenode.

There are no rules, there are no thumbs..
Reinvent the wheel, then learn The Wheel; may be one day you reinvent one of THE WHEELS.

Strawberry Perl is great, and is what I use, but if the root cause is an antivirus program then switching from ActivePerl to Strawberry Perl won't fix the problem. Installing the latest Tk also gives test failures under Strawberry Perl 5.24 and 5.26 on my system, but that's a separate issue. The tkpp GUI does run if you force install Tk, but I did not try building an exe using it.	[reply]
