in thread problems installing PAR::Packer (pp) on Windows 7

There's no 64bit MinGW available from Active State: http://code.activestate.com/ppm/MinGW/. Another reason why Strawberry Perl (reason being it comes with all this and more as standard) is the perl I choose for Windows.

hi marto, i had switched to strawberry perl as default, i'm very pleased with it. But me too i'm haveing trouble with the pp: PAR::Packer was installed only with the force install command and pp too. Then pp result as not properly run anyway. I found some article but i'm not sure if there is a solution. I'll post here any progress. L* there are no rules, there are no thumbs..	[reply] [d/l]

Strange, I run Strawberry Perl and had no problems installing pp or running the generated packages. Perhaps more details would help.	[reply]

Hello there! i have some done some test with this scenario: strawberry-perl-5.16.2.1-32bit-portable win7 64 bit with the important side note that with strawberry i started the prompt via portableshell.bat which assure you that strawberry bin are put before other things in your path within env. I also found this page that describe a solution for the 64bit version and a possible solution for the 32 bit of strawberry (changing a winres parameter): this approch (which full understanding is beyond my actual knoweledge) failed for my scenario. the direct install via cpan> install Par::Packer failed many tets and the installation too Read more... with a long output as usual.. (33 kB) `cpan> reports RSCHUPP/PAR-Packer-1.014.tar.gz` reports many fails and unknows too.. Success! succes in the installation is arrived with this commands: `cpan> look PAR::Packer H:\straw5.16\cpan\build\PAR-Packer-1.014-lqy0Qe>perl Makefile.PL dmake -f Makefile install` [download] Now i have pp running normally! hth L* there are no rules, there are no thumbs..

I am trying to install using strawberry perl, no success so far. Here is the message I get: `pl2bat.bat blib\script\scandeps.pl Can't execute /cygdrive/c/strawberry/perl/bin/pl2bat.bat. dmake.exe: Error code 129, while making 'blib\script\scandeps.pl'` [download] I am running this in the standard shell, not in cygwin, so I don't get where /cygdrive comes from.

Most likely your environment contains Cygwin tools somewhere in `$ENV{PATH}`. Eliminate these.	[reply] [d/l]
