Hey Guys,

Sorry for the delay, I had to push this off for a few days because of work, but I was able to get back to it this morning...

So I decided to grab an old/spare laptop from work which was pretty much bare bones Windows XP Thinkpad.

I installed Strawberry Perl v5.14 on the PC and just now finally got all the Required Modules
for Gtk2 installed from http://www.sisyphusion.tk/ppm, which all installed without any
issues... Great site, thanks for posting that link Sam_bakki.

At first I had all the modules installed but when I ran my Perl GUI I would get these errors, all on the same line:
Gdk-WARNING **: gdk_win32_pixmap_new: depth = 16 not supported at myGU
+I.pl line 1120.
Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_gc_new_with_values: assertion `drawable != NULL' 
+failed at myGUI.pl line 1120.
Gdk-CRITICAL **: gdk_gc_set_colormap: assertion `GDK_IS_GC (gc)' faile
+d at myGUI.pl line 1120.

And the line containing the error was: (*i.e. Line 1120)
$window->show_all;

And I couldn't figure out why the heck I was getting these errors. I also got the same error on a simple Hello
World GUI which only contained one widget... So I decided to remove all the Modules and its dependencies
for Gtk2. I then reinstalled them and still go the same error.

I then noticed the error was mentioning the depth was "16", so I checked the display "Settings" tab from the
Desktop Properties menu and noticed the colordepth was set to 16bit. So I changed it to 32-bit and now everything
seems to be runnning PERFECTLY...!!!

Thanks Again sam_bakki for your post about the Gtk2 Modules...

So I think I'm going to attempt the CavaPackager program again now that I have a compatible verison of Perl installed.
If that doesn't work, or if it gets too confusing, which could happen because it is a pretty extensive app with
LOTS of configurables, options, etc... I'll give one of the other options a try.

Here are the one's I know of:
Are there any others out there that anyone else can think of to add to this list..? I wanted to try a few and see which
one I like best.

Again, thanks for the replies guys, very much apprecited!


Thanks,
Matt
