Hi all: does anyone have a PPM distribution (Win32::GUI) that can run on v 5.14 64-bit? I tried creating this myself with the source 1.06 but so far it is not working. Thank you very much for your help in advance! Alex |

I don't think there is a PPM for 64 bit. You should be able to build your own (using Mingw) but not from the source of 1.06, but from the sourceforge repository as fixes to build on 64 bit are committed there. If you have any problems with the build let me know. Cheers, jez. |

Thanks Jeremy. You were right about the repository. I was able to to install the module with dmake - there were some error messages but seem to work! In particular the Grid & axwindow seem to need msvc instead. Although I was able to install with dmake I could not get it to generate a proper ppm distro. For example when I typed dmake ppd BINARY_LOCATION=Module.tar.gz it generated the Win32-GUI.ppd but not the actual tar.gz file. When I looked in the ppd file the codebase href points to the "Win32-GUI.tar.gz" which I assume is the same directly but I could not find it anywhere. I'm probably doing something very naive - any advice? BTW: the nomenclature Win32::GUI in a 64 bit is kinda funny =) Alex On Fri, Feb 17, 2012 at 1:30 AM, Jeremy White <jez...@ho...> wrote: > >> Hi all: >> does anyone have a PPM distribution (Win32::GUI) that can run on v >> 5.14 64-bit?

Jeremy, On second thought I did find a freshly minted blib folder - I think I will try package this manually into a tar.gz file. thanks.

That way it would automatically be picked up by the ActiveState PPM build machines. > BTW: the nomenclature Win32::GUI in a 64 bit is kinda funny =) Not really, Win32 is the API, that is shared between 32-bit and 64-bit Windows. E.g. even in 64-bit Windows a 'long' is still just 32-bit to preserve API compatibility. Cheers, -Jan |

I'm also not sure that Jeremy's right; I don't think the 64-bit patches are in the repository. That said, I have no issue with someone else applying them and spinning a release. Rob. |

Only that I have not had *any* time to even review the 64-bit patches - and I'm not likely to get any any time soon. I'm also not sure that Jeremy's right; I don't think the 64-bit patches are in the repository. That said, I have no issue with someone else applying them and spinning a release. The patches are in the repository as I committed them a while back:) From memory it was mostly basic stuff. The test suite passed and I did test all the examples and they ran fine although it would need more testing on larger projects (and other versions of perl - I'm still on 5.8.x). I used mingw so couldn't play with the modules that required the ms frameworks. I was planning on getting the free version of the MS 64 bit compiler up and running but ran out of time. What's the process of spinning a (test) release? |
