Re^3: Win32::GUI Installation Errors

dll.exp: file not recognized: File format not recognized

That's not right - first thing I'd try is re-installing Strawberry Perl.
Win32-GUI-1.06 builds fine for me on both 5.10 and 5.12 editions of Strawberry Perl.

Note that, if building Win32-GUI with Strawberry Perl, you miss out on Win32::GUI::AxWindow, Win32::GUI::Bitmap and Win32::GUI::Grid. (You'll see warnings about this during the 'perl Makefile.PL' stage.)
If you want those features, then you should instead install Win32::GUI from the ActiveState ppm repository.

Cheers,
Rob

Hi Rob, Thanks for looking at this for me. I tried re-installing Perl, I even tried the ActivePerl version and using "ppm" to install. Neither worked :( Like I said in a reply above just now, it might have to do with me not having a C compiler. I'm currently installing MinGW as an attempt to fix this. - Cbeppe	[reply]
