[perl-win32-gui-users] Installing win32-gui

[Robert T. <rob...@an...>]

How is Win32::Gui supposed to be installed?

I have downloaded the source files for 0.0.558 from 
http://dada.perl.it
and untared them into a directory.  I have tried running Makefile.PL 
with two different perl distributions, Activeperl 5.6 and Cygwin perl 
5.6.  Both produce warnings:

Note (probably harmless): No library found for 'comctl32.lib'
Note (probably harmless): No library found for 'oldnames.lib'
Note (probably harmless): No library found for 'kernel32.lib'
Note (probably harmless): No library found for 'user32.lib'
Note (probably harmless): No library found for 'gdi32.lib'
Note (probably harmless): No library found for 'winspool.lib'
Note (probably harmless): No library found for 'comdlg32.lib'
Note (probably harmless): No library found for 'advapi32.lib'
Note (probably harmless): No library found for 'shell32.lib'
Note (probably harmless): No library found for 'ole32.lib'
Note (probably harmless): No library found for 'oleaut32.lib'
Note (probably harmless): No library found for 'netapi32.lib'
Note (probably harmless): No library found for 'uuid.lib'
Note (probably harmless): No library found for 'wsock32.lib'
Note (probably harmless): No library found for 'mpr.lib'
Note (probably harmless): No library found for 'winmm.lib'
Note (probably harmless): No library found for 'version.lib'
Note (probably harmless): No library found for 'odbc32.lib'
Note (probably harmless): No library found for 'odbccp32.lib'
Note (probably harmless): No library found for 'msvcrt.lib'
Writing Makefile for Win32::GUI

Ive tried using Makefile.PL USERESOURCE=0 too

Running the generated Makefile with Cygwin GCC produces:

Makefile:303: *** multiple target patterns.  Stop.

Which contains the lines:

.xs.cpp:
    $(PERL) -I$(PERL_ARCHLIB) -I$(PERL_LIB) $(XSUBPP) 
$(XSPROTOARG) $(XSUBPPARGS) $*.xs >xstmp.c && $(MV) 
xstmp.c $*.cpp

Is this because Win32::Gui can only be compiled using MSVC?
If so is it possible to obtain binaries (the link to activestates archive 
on http://dada.perl.it doesn't work)?

Go to the same site and follow the instructions for using PPM with
that, Aldo's, site. You just add his repository to PPM.

Last time I installed Win32::GUI, ActiveState had an old version still,
so it's better to use Aldo's repository.
