This is a quite old thread. Consider starting a new one, show us what you tried and what failed (copy and paste from the terminal). Wrap that in <c>...</c>. Wrap everything else in <p>...</p>.

Use the PPMs provided by syphilis at http://sisyphusion.tk/ppmindex.html

Use the PPMs

Note: PPMs only help with ActivePerl. Other perl builds (like the native ones, or Strawberry that comes very close to a native one) are different.

Actually, they work perfectly well with Strawberry perl. I have been using them for several years.

Hi. This is my 1st post I have been struggling to install perl gtk2 for what seems ages and fount this thread here. Ref https://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=1166929 I am on strawberry perl. I got the same issue as Mtl3 with respect to gmake and the below errors “C:/Strawberry/c/bin/../lib/gcc/x86_64-w64-mingw32/8.3.0/../../../../x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ld.exe: CairoFt.o:CairoFt.c:(.text+0xe2): undefined reference to `cairo_font_face_set_user_data' collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status gmake: *** Makefile:520: blib\arch\auto\Cairo\Cairo.xs.dll Error 1” So I followed the ppm route described ppm install PPM::Sisyphusion worked great perl ppm_req Gtk2 reports No such file or directory when I try Sisyphusion::Cairo_font I get as below ppm install PPM::Sisyphusion::Cairo_font Installing package 'PPM-Sisyphusion-Cairo_font'... Error installing package 'PPM-Sisyphusion-Cairo_font': Read a PPD for 'PPM-Sisyphusion-Cairo_font', but it is not intended for this build of Perl (MSWin32-x64-multi-thread-5.30) Any help would be great, I am trying to create a series of UI for a CAM product which I use perl to automate. Thanks Mike
