Yea, nice to be able to compile such kewl things yourself... since then you can always add stuff you want yourself ;)
But, em... what did you do to make those cstart and wstart? I mean, you do something different in the code or add some parameter to the compiling part? | [reply] |
thats either linker (I used MSVC++'s one) or ... remember editbin? /subsystem:console

Apparently, if you use this for gcc "-mwindows" you don't have the window. Without it, its in "console" mode. :)

I just thought.... I don't exactly remember, but quite possibly that redistributable perl was compiled by myself, may be with perl memory allocator (but may be not) so it is wrong to use ActiveState's perl58.lib, I must ship mine!
Otherwise compiled by you "start.exe" could work incorrectly, and of course extensions DLLs are not compatible.
Look at perl58.dll's size: its size 2+Mb, while normaly its 1-Mb; because it contains compiled-in extensions.
But I also succeeded preparing redistribution from ActiveState perl, albeit I did not use it. (and number of DLLs will be larger in this case)
So be careful.

Yea, you should try compiling and running the start.c with ActiveStates version. My "start" I've created doesn't work with yours. And they are little bit smaller in size. It even seems like it looks for Perl modules in other places, and not where it should.
