Re^7: Help With Perl SDL

I also chose the first option

Got it now:

Can't locate object method "config" via package "Alien::SDL" at C:/str

This is all rather mysterious. What version of Alien::SDL did you end up with ? (I have version 1.438.) You'll get your version number by running: `perl -MAlien::SDL -e "print $Alien::SDL::VERSION"` [download] Does the following also fail for you: `perl -MAlien::SDL -e "print Alien::SDL->config('libs')"` [download] For me, that produces: `-L"C:\_32\strawberry516\perl\site\lib\auto\share\dist\Alien-SDL\1.438_ +a1ddf79e\bin\..\lib" -lmingw32 -lSDLmain -lSDL -mwindows` [download] Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Anonymous Monk, no not that file. I'm running a simple Perl script file, that tells me if SDL is working correctly or not. The version stated is 1.438, from doing that query. I get pretty much the same output, from doing your second query: `-L"C:\strawberry\perl\site\lib\auto\share\dist\Alien-SDL\1.438_a1ddf79 +e\bin\..\l ib" -lmingw32 -lSDLmain -lSDL -mwindows` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

I've been thinking, I may just reinstall Strawberry Perl, and try SDL after that.	[reply]

Strange enough, that actually worked. I think maybe installing Dwinperl in the same directory, is what messed it up. However, I can only start up SDL using the Command Prompt. Doesn't seem to work when I run it through Padre. So yes, I'm not completely satisfied with Command Prompting it everytime I wanna use an SDL program. But for the time being, it will do.	[reply]

And when does that happen, when you run Build.PL	[reply]
