in thread Trouble Installing Win32::GuiTest

Hmm ... does perl -V:libperl report 'libperl514.a' ?
On my x64 ActivePerl 5.10 (build 1005) where I actually use ExtUtils::FakeConfig, I find that Config_m.pm sets libperl='perl510.dll'

I don't think that should be necessary if you have libperl514.a ... but, anyway, try setting libperl='perl514.dll' in your Config_m.pm and then check that perl -V:libperl reports 'perl514.dll'

Cheers,
Rob

Update: As I tihnk about it a bit more, I think a better thing to do is to re-create libperl514.a using gendef and dlltool (as detailed earlier).

    Hi Rob, As you said, I have re-created the libperl514.a using gendef and dlltool taken from strawberry perl but the generated lib file libperl514.a size is 0 byte, so during the installation this file was not recognized and hence same compiling error occured. Thanks.

      ... the generated lib file libperl514.a size is 0 byte

      Yes, it should be a bit bigger than that ;-)

      My 64-bit strawberry portable (5.16.0.1 #1 Tue May 22 13:24:11 2012 x64) is in C:/_64/Strawberry516, so I 'cd' to that folder and double click on 'portableshell.bat'.
      That opens up a shell for me and, in that shell, I 'cd' to C:/_64/perl1400/bin - which is where my ActivePerl perl514.dll is located.
      I then run the commands that I posted earlier and end up with an 859KB libperl514.a.
      Full transcript follows:
      ---------------------------------------------- Welcome to Strawberry Perl Portable Edition! * URL - http://www.strawberryperl.com/ * see README.portable.TXT for more info ---------------------------------------------- Perl executable: C:\_64\strawberry516\perl\bin\perl.exe Perl version : 5.16.0 C:\_64\strawberry516>cd \_64\perl1400\bin C:\_64\perl1400\bin>gendef perl514.dll * [perl514.dll] Found PE+ image C:\_64\perl1400\bin>dlltool --kill-at --input-def perl514.def --output +-lib libperl514.a C:\_64\perl1400\bin>
      If I wanted to use that libperl514.a with EU::FC I would have to move it to C:/_64/perl1400/lib/CORE.

      Can you see any reason that the same procedure has not worked for you ?
      (I can't, but I'm a little further away than you are :-)

      Cheers,
      Rob

        Hey Rob, Thanks to ur instructions this time I have generated the libperl514.a of 860KB size. :) But now during the make test message is prompted that "The program can't start because libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." Output is here

        This dll file is available in strawberry516. So, can I copy this dll file from strwaberry perl C:_\strawberry516\c\bin to C:\Perl64\bin and again rerun the installation and check.
