in thread Download Links for Dmake and MinGW


Hi Marto/9mohit2,

Unfortunately, there are no available free PPMs for our version of activeState perl.
Need to manually install MinGW and dmake.
Not sure whether there are any available combination of MingW and dmake that we can download.
The two links in the forum are from strawberry, not sure it would work for activeState Perl?


Would very appreciate if anyone had successfully downloaded and installed MinGW and dmake for activeState Perl?

Thanks

    You already have the link to dmake.
    If you give us the outputs of perl -v (that's a lowercase 'v') and perl -V:gccversion (that's an uppercase 'V') we can probably give you a link to the most appropriate gcc compiler for that perl.

    Have you checked for the modules you want to install at the bribes (32-bit and 64-bit) and sisyphusion ppm repos.

    Cheers,
    Rob
      Thanks for the reply. Still not sure which dmake would work. The link in the previous postings which is included in Strawberry? our active perl version is 5.24.0 gccversion: 4.6.3 I have checked the modules from the link, not sure it would work on the server which has no direct internet connection. Thanks a lot for the great help!
        our active perl version is 5.24.0

        I would have thought that you would still have access to ActiveState's PPM repo for such a recent perl, and that ppm install MinGW would work just fine.
        Ideally you want gcc-4.6.3. (Even though it's fairly old, it's what was used to build your perl).
        The only question is whether you want the 64-bit version or the 32-bit version - but without seeing perl -v output, I don't know which it is that you need.
        Similarly for dmake - if you grab a 64-bit version, it probably won't work on a 32-bit Windows. (A 32-bit version should be ok on either a 32-bit or 64-bit perl, so you'll probably be ok with http://strawberryperl.com/package/kmx/32_tools/32bit_dmake-4.12.2-bin_20140810.zip.)

        It's a pity that you couldn't provide me with the info I requested.

        Cheers,
        Rob

    dmake works for all versions of Perl.

    But if you are using an old version of ActiveState Perl, maybe you could also pay for the support?

      Hi Corion, thanks for the reply. Our Active Perl version is not that old, it is v5.24.0 Thanks
