Re^2: Installing PAR

The thing is that ppm isn't working properly on my computer. Or, at least it can't connect to the internet due to some proxy setting or firewall or whatever. I'm at work, that's why. Any other way to install MinGW?

Thanks, Samuel

it can't connect to the internet due to some proxy setting or firewall or whatever From 'ppm help': `"http_proxy" PPM uses LWP to access remote repositories. If you need HTTP traffic p +ass via a proxy server to reach the repository, you must set the "htt +p_proxy" environment variable. Some examples: Using bash: export http_proxy=http://proxy.mycompany.com Using cmd.exe: set http_proxy=http://username:password@proxy.mycompany.com:8008 See "env_proxy" in LWP::UserAgent for more.` [download] MinGW and dmake come with Strawberry Perl, so you can also get it that way. Or you could try your luck with the automated (MinGW 5.1.4) installer at https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2435 (then you'll still need to grab dmake from CPAN). The easiest way, imo, is to install MinGW with ppm (and that also gives you dmake). So I would first be trying to set the http_proxy environment variable as mentioned above.
