in reply to Seeking help for compiling autobox with MinGW for ActivePerl under Windows

Which ActivePerl version were you using?

I had no problems build and testing autobox with dmake and MinGW using the latest ActivePerl 5.8 and 5.10 release.

Note that you can also install autobox from the new beta PPM repositories. These repositories should work for any ActivePerl build 818 and later (and will become the default repositories in 824 and 1004).

    I personally believe:

    C:\temp>perl -v

This is perl, v5.10.0 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread

    I'm using nmake but that shouldn't make a difference, should it?

    OMFG! It works!! You have my eternal gratitude!

    I know I could be bashed harshly for saying this, but it's one of those occasions I would really like PM to have a social-network-like "status" update (a là Twitter) and then I would write there how happy I am for having eventually solved this problem: and indeed I would probably be bashed, if I said so in PMD rather than here; in fact that's the reason I'm refraining to do so, however tempted I am...

    Incidentally, now that you brought the AS beta repositories to my attention, I wonder whether they should be added to the PPM Repositories page of the Win32 Perl Wiki.
