First, I don't have a c:\perl. Second, I ran windres directly out of the Strawberry\c\bin directory and got:
windres: supported targets: pe-x86-64 pei-x86-64 pe-bigobj-x86-64 elf6 +4-x86-64 elf64-l1om elf64-k1om pe-i386 pei-i386 elf32-i386 elf32-iamc +u elf64-little elf64-big elf32-little elf32-big plugin srec symbolsre +c verilog tekhex binary ihex Report bugs to <http://www.sourceware.org/bugzilla/>
and my PATH is
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath;C:\WINDOWS\sy +stem32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Window +sPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\WINDOWS\System32\OpenSSH\;D:\BIN;;C:\Program Fil +es (x86)\Bitvise SSH Client;C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\Intel(R) Man +agement Engine Components\DAL;C:\Program Files\Intel\Intel(R) Managem +ent Engine Components\DAL;C:\Strawberry\c\bin;C:\Strawberry\perl\site +\bin;C:\Strawberry\perl\bin;C:\Users\win10\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Wi +ndowsApps;d:\perl;D:\Perl\rcs\bin\win32;D:\LaTeX\texlive\2019\bin\win +32;C:\Program Files (x86)\EaseUS\Todo Backup\bin\x64\
I'm not sure where this leaves me but I have a strange/amazing result. I tried, as recommended, "cpanm -v PAR::Packer" and look at what I got:
Successfully installed PAR-Packer-1.050 Installing C:\STRAWB~1\perl\site\lib\MSWin32-x64-multi-thread\.meta\PA +R-Packer-1.050\install.json Installing C:\STRAWB~1\perl\site\lib\MSWin32-x64-multi-thread\.meta\PA +R-Packer-1.050\MYMETA.json 1 distribution installed
and confirmed with:
C:\Strawberry\c\bin>perldoc PAR::Packer NAME PAR::Packer - PAR Packager DESCRIPTION This module implements the App::Packer::Backend interface, for generating stand-alone executables, perl scripts and PAR files. Currently, this module is used by the command line tool pp interna +lly, as well as by the contributed contrib/gui_pp/gpp program. Since version 0.97 of PAR, this module and its related tools such +as "pp" have been stripped from the PAR distribution and are now distributed as the "PAR-Packer" distribution so that PAR users nee +d not necessarily have a C compiler. ....
I wonder what cpanm does that plain old cpan didn't??
