Re^4: Installing Gtk2 using PPM on Windows

These are the instructions from the maillist.

From: Gabor Szabo <szabgab@gmail.com>

For ActiveState users

* I assume you already have ActiveState Perl installed on your system.
If not, download and install ActiveState Perl from
http://activestate.com/Products/ActivePerl/

* Next you need to install the GTK+ 2.x.x runtime environment. The
latest version can be downloaded from
http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/stable.html

* Ensure that the <INSTALL_PATH>\GTK\2.0\bin directory is in your
PATH after this installation.

* Next you need to install the Win32 binary packages for gtk2-perl.
Download and install the latest version of Gtk2.ppd and Glib.ppd from
http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/win32/ppm/
(Another way to install these ppds is as follows
C:\Temp> ppm install http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/win32/ppm/Gtk2.p
+pd
C:\Temp> ppm install http://gtk2-perl.sourceforge.net/win32/ppm/Glib.p
+pd
)

Your system should be ready to roll !

I tried the same thing on my Windows XP system and it is still giving me the same error. I decided to run the program in the command prompt and hope that it gives more insight to the problem. The error I received was "Can't load 'C:/Perl/site/lib/auto/Glib/Glib.dll' for module Glib: load_file:The specified procedure could not be found at C:/Perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 229." I looked and saw that Glib.dll does exist. anyone have an idea of whats wrong?	[reply]

Glib.dll is looking for a library which can't be found	[reply]

I hardly use Win32, but for what it's worth, I recently gave up on the ppm Gtk2 fiasco, and switched to CamelBox. It installs like a cool breeze, and works fine. It dosn't contain plain old Tk though, so that may be a consideration. I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth Remember How Lucky You Are	[reply]
