Installing Perl/Tk for ActivePerl on Windows
sstark
longer part of the ActivePerl installation for Windows, how do I go
about installing it? I downloaded the tar.gz file, and thanks to the
good graces of WinZip was able to open and extract the files. Running
MakeFile.PL from the command line produces a lot of errors such as
"Test Compiling config/perlrx.c 'cl' is not recognized as an internal
or external command". Seems like MakeFile is designed for a Unix
install.
I was able to get Perl 5.10.x to find Tk but another user wasn't. I'm
not sure why.
Can anyone help?
thanks,
Scott

You can install the last Tk 804.028 for Perl 5.10 with ppm.
See my ppm-repository:

When did this happen? I have build 820, created January of last year.

Hi,
according to http://kobesearch.cpan.org/
there are binaries at http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm
It's also possible to compile the latest Tk versions with Strawberry-perl

it. But it requires an installation of Visual C++ -- holy smoke! My
user's ain't gonna like that.
Couldn't find anything about installing Tk on the URL below. Did I
miss something?
I'll have to watch out for that strawberry perl, thanks for that.

Hi,
do you know about pp? I use that with a Tk app and everyone is happy. Nothing to
install - just click and run...

Adding the repository http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm to your repositories in the
ppm tool should make it accessible. I didn't install, but they have a 804.028
there.

No, what is it? Does this mean I don't need to install the Tk module?

it's a tool (part of PAR-Packer) which allows you to pack your application, perl
and all your required libs into a single executable file.
It's very easy to use (like 'pp -o MyProg.exe --gui MyPerlApp.pl') and works
reliably. One drawback is, that when started for the first time, your app needs
some time to unpack all the files into a TMP folder on the target machine - but
that's only on first startup.

AS perl 5.8 releases have Tk. So far the 5.10 releases have Tkx.

Are you sure that Perl/Tk is not included in AS 5.10?
I was trying to find something that mentioned the removal
of Tk in the changelog but could not find any indication of this.
Is there a link that shows the distro has done this?

It was not installed on my download of AS 5.10.

I haven't checked, but I note that ppm4.activestate.com build status
shows Tk 804.028 failing on Win32 (and Darwin and Solaris).
But there is a

Does anyone have an idea what may be going on with this configuration?

Reverted to AS Perl 5.8.8 to get this working;
it seems like Zinc may require Perl58.dll.

You probably would get a better answer on the Zinc maillist, there are
more Windows/Zinc users there.
The only thing I remember about Zinc on win32, is that it needed XP
or better, for the Windows version.
