Installing GD for win32

[senget76]

Hello

I trying to install GD.pm in windows.
but i dont have C compiler..
so i wonder if anyone know where i can get the binary source..

Thanks...

I don't see any components of GD that require a C compiler.

The authoritative source for GD is
http://stein.cshl.org/WWW/software/GD/

Perhaps you are referring the the gdlib (GD graphics library)

Try installing both with ppm.
What version of perl are you running ? - It appears to be pre-installed on 5.8.

If you use ActiveState version of Perl on Windows, you can install GD (or any modules for that matter) via the PPM without compiler.

You can, but if and only if you follow strat's advice below and set the correct repository.

It is very likely these days that you need to set a proxy server too. See perldoc PPM for details.

Right. http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/cgi-bin/ppmserver?urn:/PPMServer is a good repository to add.

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).

If you are using perl5.8, the posting Re: Problem installing GD might be interesting for you...
