in thread Win32::GUI Installation Errors

This is definitely a last resort, but it should work unless I need to modify the registry substantially

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.
    - Cbeppe.
      Just grab the 5.10 trouchelle ppm zip file (or the ActiveState ppm tarball if you can locate it), unpack it to some location and:

      1) Merge the blib/lib folder with the strawberry/perl/site/lib folder;
      2) Merge the blib/arch/auto folder with the strawberry/perl/site/lib/auto folder.

      I'll let you work out where the html documentation needs to go - though, of course, things should work ok without it.
      If you want to utilise the 2 demo files in in blib/script copy them to strawberry/perl/site/bin (or to strawberry/perl/bin if strawberry/perl/site/bin doesn't exist).

      I think that's about right ... probably safer to get ppm (which you have with StrawberryPerl) to do the job for you. Either:

      ppm install Win32::GUI (for the ActivePerl build)
      or
      ppm install http://trouchelle.com/ppm10/Win32-GUI.ppd (for the trouchelle build).
