in reply to WANTED: Simple & portable graphics to use with Perl

Any suggestions are welcome

It isn't 3-d, but it could be a start on a cool soccer game. Tk::Zinc is available for linux and win32. See Strangely addictive Tk::Zinc based game

    Hi, thanks for pointing me to Zinc, looks quite impressive, but I did not manage to install it under Strawberry Perl 5.10.0.1 via cpan. I get a whole lot of errors, ending in 
    Tabular.c:702: warning: excess elements in scalar initializer
Tabular.c:702: warning: (near initialization for `TABULAR_ITEM_CLASS')
Tabular.c:704: warning: excess elements in scalar initializer
Tabular.c:704: warning: (near initialization for `TABULAR_ITEM_CLASS')
Tabular.c:704: warning: data definition has no type or storage class
dmake.EXE:  Error code 129, while making 'Tabular.o'
  ZINCDEV/tk-zinc-3.303.tar.gz
  C:\strawberry\c\bin\dmake.EXE -- NOT OK

    Did you manage to install Tk::Zinc on Windows / Strawberry?

      You might ask on the Zinc Maillist or post another top level node here, asking if anyone has compiled it under Strawberry.

      I rarely use Windows, but I did install the precompiled package available for win32 from the Download Page IIRC, you need at least WindowsXP for it to work.
