I have Tk working fine on Windows 7 with Strawberry Perl 5.12.3. Have a look at this node: Re: Getting Perl/Tk to run with a recent Perl version I did see some 'dmake' errors but that node describes the fix.	[reply]

The problem was described and fixed here (thanks to kmx): http://www.mail-archive.com/win32-vanilla@perl.org/msg00343.html strawberry-portable 5.12.3 needs the following patches: diff -ru portable.orig\perl\vendor\lib\Portable\Config.pm portable.new\perl\vendor\lib\Portable\Config.pm --- portable.orig\perl\vendor\lib\Portable\Config.pm Wed Apr 13 02: +20:12 2011 +++ portable.new\perl\vendor\lib\Portable\Config.pm Mon Oct 31 13: +00:13 2011 @@ -32,7 +32,7 @@ and length $conf->{$key} and not - $key =~ /^ld/ + $key =~ /(^ld\|^libpth$)/ ) { $self->{$key} = $conf->{$key}; next; @@ -42,7 +42,7 @@ $root, split /\//, $conf->{$key}, ); #join path to directory of portable perl with value + from config file } - foreach my $key ( grep { /^ld/ } keys %$self ) { #linker confi +g variables + foreach my $key ( grep { /(^ld\|^libpth$)/ } keys %$self ) { #l +inker config variables next unless defined $self->{$key}; $self->{$key} =~ s/\$(\w+)/$self->{$1}/g; } diff -ru portable.orig\portable.perl portable.new\portable.perl --- portable.orig\portable.perl Sun Feb 06 21:19:30 2011 +++ portable.new\portable.perl Mon Oct 31 12:59:14 2011 @@ -56,10 +56,12 @@ installvendorman3dir: '' installvendorscript: 'perl/bin' ld: g++.exe - lddlflags: '-mdll -s -L"$archlib\CORE" -L"$libpth"' - ldflags: '-s -L"$archlib\CORE" -L"$libpth"' - ldflags_nolargefiles: '-s -L"$archlib\CORE" -L"$libpth"' - libpth: c/lib + lddlflags: '-mdll -s -L"$archlib\CORE" -L"$_workaround1"' + ldflags: '-s -L"$archlib\CORE" -L"$_workaround1"' + ldflags_nolargefiles: '-s -L"$archlib\CORE" -L"$_workaround1"' + _workaround1: c/lib + _workaround2: c/i686-w64-mingw32/lib + libpth: $_workaround1 $_workaround2 perlpath: perl/bin/perl.exe prefix: perl prefixexp: perl [download] Cheers, Christoph	[reply] [d/l]

Hi Christoph Thanks a lot-lot-lot for this! I did apply the changes you mentioned, re-ran `cpan Tk` and it worked.	[reply] [d/l]

Anybody knows how to get around that? You do not provide enough information	[reply]
Re^2: Tk on windows 7? by Anonymous Monk on Nov 21, 2011 at 16:13 UTC
What other information do you need?	[reply]
Re^3: Tk on windows 7? by Anonymous Monk on Nov 21, 2011 at 16:33 UTC
Can you guess? The last error is never as useful as the first error But you should really post the output from `perl Makefile.PL && dmake test`	[reply] [d/l]

See the following test report for details (Seems to be an issue with the portable version of strawberry only): http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/cd91ab56-6bf3-1014-831b-9f0412cd2d3c	[reply]
