Hey, I could still use some help on acquiring the dll's for GSL. Anyone who can help me with this?

Sorry - missed the earlier post.
For a short time only you can grab the 32-bit gsl-0.14 library (libs, headers, dll's and docs) for Win32 here. (Built using MinGW.)

If you unpack it to anywhere other than C:/_32/gsl_dyn you'll have to edit the paths accordingly in lib/pkgconfig/gsl.pc (which is a trivial task).

(Can also provide a 64-bit MinGW64 build, but that hasn't been uploaded yet - and won't be unless someone requests it.)

Cheers,

UPDATE: You might need to create copies of lib/libgsl.dll.a and lib/libgslcblas.dll.a (in the same folder) named libgsl.a and libgslcblas.a ... I think that should be unnecessary as Math::GSL uses ExtUtils::PkgConfig, but worth bearing in mind just in case you have trouble with the linking during the Math::GSL build.

Your advice helped me to install the Math::GSL 0.22, but I found that in order to use the math functions that I need for Math::GSL 0.22, I have to use gsl v 1.13, which I haven't installed yet. I tried using cgywin to build the gsl v1.13 sourcecode, but it seems to have trouble with my gcc compiler.
