GPL Perl App to be compiled in Windows .. Help
|
Can't Post

Dear Gurus,
I've got a GPL Perl App that needs to be compiled in Windows. First of all, I would like to add that
1. this is my first ever program compile
2. this is my first ever plunge into Perl
3. this is my first ever coding experience
So you see, there are alot of firsts, so please be kind and gentle ... even if I made a glaring mistake!
I have been working on this for like the past 96 hours already
There are 5 PL files and 1 LIB file and I managed to dig out all the "use" information as follows:
use Carp::Heavy;
use Cwd;
use Cwd qw(chdir getcwd);
use Fcntl qw(:flock);
use File::Basename;
use File::Copy;
use File::Find;
use Getopt::Long;
use Net::Ping;
use POSIX qw(strftime mktime);
use Socket;
use strict;
use Tk;
use Tk::Button;
use Tk::Canvas;
use Tk::Checkbutton;
use Tk::DirSelect;
use Tk::DirTree;
use Tk::Entry;
use Tk::Event;
use Tk::Label;
use Tk::Listbox;
use Tk::Menu;
use Tk::Menubutton;
use Tk::NoteBook;
use Tk::Optionmenu;
use Tk::Pixmap;
use Tk::Radiobutton;
use Tk::Scrollbar;
use vars qw(%conf);
use vars qw/$gScriptRunFullPath $LastError/;
use vars qw ($key $working_dir $gui_text $finalfile $focusin_flag $user $hide $OEMencode $autoexit $backuptest);
use vars qw(%lang);
use vars qw ($sec $min $hour $mday $mon $year $wday $ydat $isdst);
use vars qw ($time %dir_list $value $dashdir);
use Win32;
use Win32API::File qw( :ALL );
use Win32::File;
use Win32::Internet;
use Win32::OLE;
use Win32::OLE qw( in );
use Win32::Process;
use Win32::TaskScheduler;
use Win32::TieRegistry;
Then I went to do this on a Windows 2000 machine
1. downlad active-state-perl from
http://downloads.activestate.com/ActivePerl/Windows/5.8/ActivePerl-5.8.7.813-MSWin32-x86-148120.msi
and install ActivePerl-5.8.7.813-MSWin32-x86-148120.msi on a windows 2000 system
But after installing PAR and compiling, upon executing the EXEs, I got the errors
"The procedure entry point PL_memory_wrap could not be located in the dynamic link library perl58.dll"
So, I had to downlod the following and install instead
http://ftp.activestate.com/ActivePerl/Windows/5.8/ActivePerl-5.8.6.811-MSWin32-x86-122208.msi
and install ActivePerl-5.8.6.811-MSWin32-x86-122208.msi on a windows 2000 system
2. on the command prompt of the system, I ran the following ppm
install Tk::DirSelect
install Win32-Process-Perf
install Win32-TieRegistry
install Getopt-Long
install App-Packer
install App-Packer-Backend-Par
install http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/PAR.ppd
~or~ install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/PAR.ppd
~or~ install http://crazyinsomniac.perlmonk.org/perl/ppm/5.8/PAR.ppd
install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/Win32-Exe.ppd
install http://search.cpan.org/src/UNICOLET/Win32-TaskScheduler2.0.3/Win32-TaskScheduler-58/Win32-TaskScheduler.ppd
install http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/Tk.ppd
install http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/Win32-OLE.ppd
install http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/Win32Util.ppd
install http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/Win32-GUI.ppd
install http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/Win32-DDE.ppd
install http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/Win32-API.ppd
install http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/Win32-Internet.ppd
install http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/Win32-Process-Info.ppd
install http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/Win32-Process-List.ppd
install http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/Win32-Process-Memory.ppd
exit
Here's the major question
Notice that the "use" statements in my PL and LIB files do not tally with the ones that I have installed?
I have some missing ones that I cannot ever seem to find the PPD files. Eg.
"use Tk::Button"
Do I actually need to find every single PPD and install? I tried to search and search but really come up zero.
Would appreciate any help please?
