Argh, I've been having major problems getting Win32-GUI to work, so I'm
hoping someone on here can help me out. I used it a couple months ago and
had a great time with it. I've recently had a desire to play around with it
again so I decided to install the latest version. I grabbed Win32-GUI.zip
off of http://jenda.krynicky.cz/perl/. Since I don't use ActiveState I
figured this is what I would need. I unzipped it into c:\perl where I have
Perl installed. I saw that the directories didn't follow the structure of my
install though, so I moved things around in the following ways:
GUI.dll, GUI.exp, GUI.lib extracted into site\lib\auto\Win32\GUI
I moved them into lib\site\auto\Win32\GUI\
GUI.pm extracted into site\lib\Win32\
I moved it into lib\site\Win32\
BitmapInline.pm, GridLayout.pm extracted into site\lib\Win32\GUI
I moved them into lib\site\Win32\GUI
Now, before I moved those files, I'd get errors about not being able to find
them in @INC when I tried to run the examples which makes sense. After I
moved them though, I got 3 Application Errors from perl.exe when I tried to
run the examples.
This leads me to believe that that version I grabbed off Jenda's site, is
compiled only for ActiveState and just won't work on anything else. For the
record, I'm using the Perl distro that can be found here:
ftp://www.perl.com/pub/perl/CPAN/ports/win32/Standard/x86/perl5.00402-bindis
t04-bc.zip
If anyone has any information that can help me out here I'd really
appriciate it. A binary distro would work best for me, but I can compile a
source distro if needed. I never had a problem with the earlier build which
can still be found on Aldo's site, so I'm hoping there's a fairly simple
solution to this that I'm just overlooking. Thanks.
