Re^3: On the road again with Gtk2 and PAR::Packer

If I understand correctly, the two Gtk2.dll, Glib.dll etc files in this case serve different purposes. One is the actual Gtk2 dll, the other is the xs file.

The names of the actual Gtk2 dlls should all begin with "lib" - eg "libglib-2.0-0.dll", "libcairo-2.dll", "libpango-1.0-0.dll",etc. (At least that's how it is with *my* gtk2 installation.)
I think any files named "Gtk2.dll" and "Glib.dll" would be the ones that were created for the Gtk2 and Glib perl modules.

PAR::Packer will pack the xs versions automatically

Ok - to have stated otherwise would be *my* mistake.
This would then suggest to me that it's unnecessary (and possibly error-prone) to specifically pack any files named "Glib.dll", "Gtk2.dll", "Pango.dll", "Cairo.dll".

The structure of the ppm packages has changed a bit in recent years.
Currently, the s1s*.dll files should all be installed into perl/bin. I figure your chances of encountering another dll with the same name is about the same as winning a major lottery without even having a ticket.

Cheers,
Rob

siphylis makes a good point regarding the dll names. WRT the PPM structure, and as a side note, the current tarball referred to by the `PPM-Sisyphusion-Gtk2_dll` ppd has `s1sgtk-win32-2-.0-0.dll` in `arch\auto\Gtk2` and the other DLLs under `\script`. It seems to work, though, so I see no need to change it.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

the current tarball referred to by the PPM-Sisyphusion-Gtk2_dll ppd has s1sgtk-win32-2-.0-0.dll in arch\auto\Gtk2 and the other DLLs under \script I forgot about that. In my script that assembles the PPM-Sisyphusion-Gtk2_dll package there's a comment: `# s1sgtk-win32-2.0-0.dll needs to be in blib/arch/auto/Gtk2 so that th +emes are found.` [download] There might be other exceptions to the general rule, too.
