Packaging with strawberry perl

[Kartik Thakore]

Hey so,
I was trying to send a friend a simple SDL script with strawberry perl to
play around with. But strawberry perl seemed huge! Especially with the
DBI/Pg and what not in it. How can i get a vanilla version of
portable strawberry perl with no extra libraries installed with it. I will
then jsut cpan install SDL (or SDL2) and package a 'game' that way.

ideas?

There is no such thing as strawberry perl portable "minimal edition"

What you can do:
1/ take strawberry portable
2/ install SDL + all necessary modules
3/ move all c:\portable-strawberry\c\bin\*.dll to
c:\portable-strawberry\perl\bin\
4/ delete
c:\portable-strawberry\c
c:\portable-strawberry\cpan\*
c:\portable-strawberry\data\*
5/ now you still have fully working perl (but without possibility to
install anything from cpan)

What about stuff inside perl\vendor and what not. It has a lot of the stuff
that is not needed (DBI, BerkelyDB, etc )

In theory you can delete whatever in perl/vendor you only cannot be sure if
some of SDL dependencies is not using it.

Could I delete all of perl/vendor and install SDL using cpan. Then remove
the cpan stuff?

Interesting idea.

My guess is that for portable strawberry you will need to keep at least
perl\vendor\lib\Portable\*
perl\vendor\lib\Portable.pm
+ perhaps File::HomeDir and other Portable's prereqs

hmm what if I cpan install that? Where is the 'script' that runs the
portable thing?

It isn't gonna work as 'Portable' module is loaded behind the scene for
example every time you 'use Config;'

During the weekend I can prepare a strawberry perl 'Portable Mini Edition'
for you (no external libraries, no extra modules, just perl core + dmake +
gcc toolchain) - it is easier for me than to elaborate
"what-if-I-delete-this" :)

Kartik,

Try this special edition:
http://strawberryperl.com/beta/spp-spec-minimal-5.16.3.1-32bit-portable.zip

Simply:
- unzip into e.g. c:\strawberry-portable
- install SDL + all other required modules
- remove c:\strawberry-portable\c (the whole directory)
- clean c:\strawberry-portable\cpan\*
- clean c:\strawberry-portable\data\*
- zip (after SDL installation should be approx 23MB)
- distribute
