You asked me on #perl6 to build a Data::Bind binary distribution for
Win32-ActivePerl.
After working on it for 2 hours, I (re)discovered that it's
impossible to do that, using the current generation of gratis
downloads of Visual Studio C++ Express 2005, as it seems that Perl
does not yet support the new manifest-driven deployment style with
the msvcr80.dll prerequisite.
Therefore I've built it on VanillaPerl build 3, with the "dmake" that
comes with it:
http://win32.perl.org/wiki/index.php?title=Vanilla_Perl
Adam Kennedy and friends will probably release StrawberryPerl in a
couple weeks, in which case it'd be nice to switch to it:
http://win32.perl.org/wiki/index.php?title=Strawberry_Perl
But for now, please install VanillaPerl-3, and extract this zip file
to your C:\vanilla-perl\perl\:
http://perlcabal.org/~audreyt/tmp/c-vanilla-perl-perl-site.zip
It should create a "site" directory with an already-built
Data::Bind. To build a newer Data::Bind from the Pugs tree, simply
"perl Makefile.PL ; dmake install" from perl5/Data-Bind/.
(Cc'ing perl6-compiler for other Win32 people who want to help out
v6.pm development but has no VC++ 6.0 installed.)
Thanks,
Audrey
