Re: Writing a Perl extension framework for Inkscape

I've never tried to build my own Strawberry Perl distribution. But I'm not sure you really would need to build it yourself: You might want to take a page from Berrybrew, and have your install script download the appropriate portable zipfile (32bit or 64bit) from Strawberry Perl and unzip it into the appropriate subdirectory of Inkscape.

(And I am bookmarking this, because I will definitely want to look at Origami-Ext, since my son is a fan of paper folding.)

Interesting... I'll have a look at Berrybrew. But I definitely prefer building things myself whenever it's possible. In fact, I just finished compiling Perl on my VirtualBox Windows 10 just by skipping 4 tests... which seem for 2 of them to be simple coding errors in tests (missing test files). Only two of them should be investigated further with P5P... If your son draws Origami diagrams, I'm sure he'll appreciate this extension...	[reply]

Glad that you managed to successfully build Perl on Windows. Don't know what you did, but, FYI, the release notes for Strawberry Perl include all the compile settings and a list of the tools versions used (gcc, make, etc). Also, perldist_strawberry is the script used by Strawberry Perl to build new versions of Strawberry Perl.	[reply]
