in thread Compiling Tk under Windows

vcvars32, like the tutorial explains, comes with the microsoft compiler. Regardless of what compiler you use, if perl is looking for some .lib, your compiler is also, and it has to be able to find it, which is generally does by examining the INCLUDE/LIB enviroment variables (which is what vcvars32 sets).

Shouldn't this libs come with mingw, too???
I don't know, but if the perl you compiled with MinGW is looking for them now, that means that you should already have them, otherwise you could not have compiled perl as you claim to have done.
I tried to copy them to the windows/system32-directory but the problem was still there...
Thats probably because windows/system32 is not in your %LIB%, just like that directory you copied them from.

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).

    Ok. I think i got what you meant... How can I change the INCLUDE/LIB or view it? Where is it? Sorry for asking so stupid questions...

        I know these tutorials but as described it DOESN'T WORK! Tk::WinPrint just builds with a dmake-build perl!!!
