18:04 <@muppet> to compile perl extensions on windows 18:04 <@muppet> you need the same compiler that was used to build perl 18:04 <@muppet> with activestate's perl, that's msvc's cl.exe 18:04 <@muppet> there's a free non-optimizing version of msvc available from microsoft's website. 18:05 <@muppet> you'll need also to get the platform sdk, because perl.h wants windows.h (memory, threads, and process management) 18:05 < eyck> oh my, that's hours and hours of searching the net and downloading stuff, sounds like fun. 18:05 <@muppet> if you have that, and the libglade win32 binaries, and the development headers for all of the gtk+/glade stuff, compiling the Gtk2::GladeXML extension is really easy. 18:05 <@muppet> not that much, i found the links for whitewindow in about five minutes 18:06 <@muppet> i don't have a windows pc here to do it on for myself, though. 18:07 <@muppet> how to get the free msvc7 compiler, with examples of compiling a perl module: http://howtos.beaucox.com/win32-vc7-compiler.html 18:08 <@muppet> all-in-one installer for gtk+, glade, and libglade on win32: http://gladewin32.sourceforge.net/ 18:09 <@muppet> whitewindow's Gtk2-Perl binaries: http://lists.gnome.org/archives/gtk-perl-list/2004-June/msg00182.html
