Re^3: Linker error when installing modules on Perl 5.10.0 with cpan.bat on Windows

in thread Linker error when installing modules on Perl 5.10.0 with cpan.bat on Windows

Unfortunately I have to stay at version 5.10.0. I would prefer 5.16 also ;-)

:) Saying you can't compile so-and-so module makes a compelling argument for getting an upgrade approved, as does perl5101delta, perl5120delta

Any ideas?

Yeah, give us details to work with, see Re^3: MExtUtuils result in error while trying to install modules.

You are right, sorry! To make a long story short: To install the module manual, I do the following: (used perl: strawberry 5.10.0 which comes with mingw environment) 1# download package from cpan 2# give: perl Makefile.PL => Looks good 3# Run the make command: dmake (comes with strawberryperl) No matter what module I want to Install (with compilation) I get the same linker error which makes me think of using a later gcc version or check the generated lib paths. /mingw/lib/dllcrt2.o:dllcrt1.c:(.text+0xe5):<b> undefined reference to + `__dyn_tls_init_callback'</b> Cwd.o:Cwd.c:(.text+0x103): undefined reference to `croak_xs_usage' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status [download] So we got here an unresolved reference to __dyn_tls_init_callback. I was googling a bit a found that other people on different projects have this issue too. Seems to be a problem with the libs so I got to check if all libs are available to the build-process. So I will start analyze the Makefile. :-)	[reply] [d/l]
