Re^3: pdf libraries for Strawberry Perl by dasgar (Priest) on Aug 30, 2016 at 17:04 UTC
In your original question, you stated that you're using "Strawberry Perl v.5.10.0". Is there any chance that you could move to a newer version of Strawberry Perl? I just tried using the portable versions of Strawberry Perl version 5.20.0.1 (32-bit and 64-bit) and 5.24.0.1 (32-bit and 64-bit). I had no issues with installing PDF::API2 (as well as needed prerequisite modules) in any of those environments. You've mentioned error messages about nmake. The compiler that comes with Strawberry Perl uses dmake, which is included with Strawberry Perl. During my testing of different portable editions of Strawberry Perl, I did notice the following message: Generating a dmake-style Makefile My guess is that newer versions of Strawberry Perl are making needed changes to the Makefile to ensure that it will work properly with dmake. Anyways, I suspect that if you can move to a newer version of Strawberry Perl, you'll find it much easier to install modules.	[reply]

That could be a good option. I will try to update my Perl. Thank you for the suggestions!	[reply]

all right, I've got a brand new virtual Windows machine set up, and installed Strawberry Perl 5.24.0.1 64 bit. The VM has no Oracle. Now, I'm trying to install PDF::Create and here's what I've got.
