Alright... I just installed MinGW to no avail
But you already had MinGW - it's in the Strawberry/c/ folder.
Can you post the output of gcc -v ? With StrawberryPerl-5.10, mine looks like this:
C:\>gcc -v

You should see something similar.
Something is seriously broken ... probably, but not necessarily, MinGW.

No, the aim is to have things in an hilariously broken state ;-)
Ok ... so Strawberry Perl is apparently using the MinGW compiler that shipped with it. Where did you place the other MinGW (ie the one that you mentioned installing in the earlier post) ? Let's give it a whirl and see if it makes any difference.
Assuming it's in C:/MinGW run PATH=C:\MinGW\bin;%PATH% then run gcc -v again. This time the output should be for the MinGW that you installed - which will be different to the one you just posted. That being so, run dmake realclean, perl Makefile.PL and dmake and see if there's any change of behaviour.
Which version of Windows do you have, btw ?
Cheers,
Rob

Ok, so I gave up on Win32::GUI, and installed ActivePerl from activestate. I also downloaded their Tcl and Tkx, which does very much the same as Win32::Gui.
I'd just like to thank everyone who helped me out here. I see myself becoming a member of this forum as soon as I get an account.
Thanks :)

I'm running Windows 7 64bit (Could that be a problem?) and Strawberry Perl 5.10.1.3.
The result for the new MinGW compiler is this:
Using built-in specs.

+efix=/mingw

As you can see, the new MinGW is a later version than the one shipped with Perl.
I ran the commands you mentioned, but it still returns the same errors on dmake. Dmake realclean does not return an error, but doesn't seem to affect the install in any other way though.

I'm running Windows Vista 64 bit with both 32-bit and 64-bit builds of Strawberry Perl, and there's no problem.
I guess there could be some Windows7-specific issue involved ... but I've not heard of any such thing.
The compilers you're using are 32-bit compilers, which should be fine as long as your build of Strawberry Perl is also 32-bit. I don't think Strawberry Perl even provides a 64-bit build of perl 5.10.
Anyway, just check that perl -V:archname reports MSWin32-x86-multi-thread, not MSWin32-x64-multi-thread
Can't really think of anything else ...

Rob

Avoid mixing Strawberry perl with your own mingw installation unless you exactly know what can happen. I recommend to remove all the other mingws from your PATH when building Win32::GUI in strawberry perl.
Also assure that you do not have some other copy of dmake.exe in your PATH before strawberry's directories (IIRC Win32::GUI generate slightly strange Makefile which can be refused by the original dmake - e.g. https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=53721)
Win32::GUI should build fine with Strawberry perl 5.10.1 with mingw toolchain included with strawberry perl.

Here's one more idea if someone is willing to help:
Could someone please upload an archive containing the directories that Win32::GUI installs itself into, so that I can do a very manual install? This is definitely a last resort, but it should work unless I need to modify the registry substantially.
I'd really appreciate it if someone would be willing to help out on this.
Thanks.

Unfortunately it won't work - if 'dmake' hasn't been run successfully, then you don't have all of the files that are needed for a successful installation.
Haven't grabbed the dll.exp file yet - apparently I need to register in order to be able to download anything ... which is a bit of a nuisance. Sounds like it's probably no good, anyway (given that it's so much smaller than the one my identical compiler produces).
Cheers,
Rob

Actually, you don't, they just like to make you think that you do ;)
No, my idea was for someone to send the files that result from running dmake, so I could simply put them into the right directories... Then again, something about that idea sounds a little too simple.
Anyway, thanks for helping out.

I just downloaded the 64bit version of Perl, which is still in Beta. I ran the installation process again, and got this error:
In file included from Scintilla.xs:8:
../GUI.h:100: note: #pragma message:
*** Using Preserved Perl context.
In file included from Scintilla.xs:8:
../GUI.h:768: warning: 'ImageList_Duplicate' redeclared without dllimp
+ort attribute: previous dllimport ignored
Scintilla.xs: In function 'CallWndProc':
Scintilla.xs:199: error: 'GWL_USERDATA' undeclared (first use in this
+function)

Scintilla.xs:199: error: for each function it appears in.)
dmake: Error code 129, while making 'Scintilla.o'
dmake: Error code 255, while making 'subdirs'
The error codes are the same, but the file that is causing the trouble is different. Any ideas?

Win32::GUI is known to have problems on 64bit Windows
You can try my patched version from:
http://strawberryperl.com/package/kmx/perl-modules-patched/Win32-GUI-1.06_patched2.tar.gz
It builds fine on 64bit Strawberry Perl 5.12.

I tried that, but I keep getting those same errors. I also tried installing the Perl/TK module as an alternative, but the installer returned the same error codes (although in different files.)
I'm afraid the problem must be somewhere on my computer or in what I'm doing because this is very strange. I've installed TK before without any trouble.
I'll try using an earlier version of Perl and see how that goes...
