in thread 2D realtime pixel graphics options in Perl

What kind of errors are you getting? I have a lot of redefintions and then stuff like this:

WidgetInfo.h:271: error: syntax error before "Arg" WidgetInfo.h:271: warning: no semicolon at end of struct or union WidgetInfo.h:284: error: syntax error before '}' token

Arg is evidentally a struct inside an ifdef Perl/Tk block. Evidentally someone is expecting the wrong version of Tk (or equivalent) I'll email the author/maintainer tomorrow if I remember!

The Component looks extra spiffy (even for non-air-traffic-control-applications!), so it would be nice to see it working!

    As you mentionned in the initial thread, Yes, Tk::Zinc is not easy enough to install. The reasons are that it uses some external librairies (mainly the openGL) all together with perl/tk. And such modules are not very frequent on the CPAN neither easy to build.

    We definitely appreciate any help, either for building it with perl on windows / OSX, buuilinding it wqioth newer realese of perl/Tk (8.4) or on any other aspect.

    The best would be to contact Patrick Lecoanet, the author.
