Greetings, mtl3 and welcome to the monastery.

The following instructions provide another way to install Perl-Gtk2 on the Windows platform. See, FAQ question #4.

I tested on fresh Strawberry Perl installations v5.22.3.1, v5.24.2.1, and v5.26.0.2. During the Gtk2 installation, a new window may appear asking if you want to move the themes directory. If so, wait for the installation to finish before answering the question.

The ppm_req script, mentioned in FAQ #4, is found here.

> ppm install PPM::Sisyphusion

The following dependencies are installed automatically.

> ppm install PPM::Sisyphusion::Pango_dll
> ppm install PPM::Sisyphusion::Glib_dll
> ppm install Glib
> ppm install PPM::Sisyphusion::Gtk2_dll
> ppm install PPM::Sisyphusion::Gtk2_theme
> ppm install PPM::Sisyphusion::Cairo_dll
> ppm install Pango

Tk may be installed similarly, via PPM under Strawberry Perl v5.22.3.1, but not later Perl releases at this time. Trying will not hurt and simply emit a message stating not yet available.

> ppm install PPM::Sisyphusion  # <-- skip if already done

> ppm install Tk
> ppm install Tk::Zinc

The list of Sisyphusion packages is found here.
