Re^7: WANTED: Simple & portable graphics to use with Perl

I suggest you ask about that on the sdl-perl mailing list. (I assume there is one.) Most likely, very few people build SDL for win32 since it's so disagreeable to build packages there. I tried it for a short while myself and I ran into various problems with the block of code +/- 5 lines around line 154.

It seems like something the maintainers would be willing to help fix.

Thanks, Paul. I will follow your suggestion and look for an sdl-perl mailing list. Windows is not my favourite OS, but I use it quite often (e.g. for work...), so even though it's sometimes painful, I would like to get things running there, too.	[reply]

Yeah, I'm not saying windows is bad or that I don't use it -- although technically I hate it -- I'm just saying it's developer unfriendly. I use it quite a bit myself and even built an active repo: https://voltar.org/active/. I find building things under win32 to be pretty painful so I lost interest in strawberry really fast (favoring downloading PPDs instead). But I'm under the impression that you can install active ppds under strawberry, so ... perhaps I should give it another look. -Paul	[reply]

I use it quite a bit myself and even built an active repo: https://voltar.org/active/. I personally believe you may want to add it to the PPM Repositories page of the Win32 Perl Wiki. `--` If you can't understand the incipit, then please check the IPB Campaign.	[reply] [d/l]

I could not find any active perl-sdl mailing list, so I posted on the sdl mailing list (http://lists.libsdl.org/pipermail/sdl-libsdl.org/2008-June/) which seems quite busy. I found some ppds for Perl 5.8 which refused to install under 5.10 and I really don't want to go back to 5.8. Also, I don't want to use ActivePerl, since I am happy using Strawberry. In any case, SDL seems to be broken for ActivePerl (see http://ppm.activestate.com/BuildStatus/5.8-S.html and http://ppm.activestate.com/BuildStatus/5.10-S.html).	[reply]
