in reply to Fail to pp cairo, pango on windows

You could at least show us how you are using pp, or the actual error message you experience :) Try something like:

pp -l libCairoPerl.dll -l Cairo.dll -l Glib.dll -l Gtk2.dll .....

Though you should use the correct path to these libraries. Please note that I've not tested this. Double check the pp documentation, and let us know if you have any further problems with this.

Cheers,

Martin

    This time, I included some related files, but still got a failure.

    pp params: 
    D:\>pp -l c:\camelbox\site\lib\auto\Glib\Glib.dll
-l c:\camelbox\site\lib\auto\Gtk2\Gtk2.dll
-l c:\camelbox\site\lib\auto\Cairo\Cairo.dll

-l c:\camelbox\lib\libcairo.dll.a

      I'm not a camelbox user, their mailing list has several threads on this topic which I found via seraching google. Perhaps you should ask over at http://code.google.com/p/camelbox/ either via IRC or their google group.

      You don't want libcairo.dll.a What you want is to use lisdlls (or dependencywalker) to find which dlls are loaded, which for me turned out to be 
        -l libglib-2.0-0.dll  -l libgobject-2.0-0.dll  -l libgthread-2.0-0.d
+ll  -l libcairo-2.dll  -l libfontconfig-1.dll  -l libexpat-1.dll  -l 
+freetype6.dll  -l libpng12-0.dll  -l zlib1.dll  -l libpango-1.0-0.dll
+  -l libgmodule-2.0-0.dll  -l libpangocairo-1.0-0.dll  -l libpangoft2
+-1.0-0.dll  -l libpangowin32-1.0-0.dll  -l libatk-1.0-0.dll  -l libgd

      But that didn't work
      Read more... (6 kB)
      It seems like PAR/Gtk2-perl teams could use an infusion of cash :)

      You should use the Cava packager, I've tested it just now and it worked.

        The Cava also don't work, with same error message...
