| Subject: | wxPerl + PAR + win2000 fails in 0.86 |
This is an email written by Mike Schroeder - duplicated by me.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've been using PAR with wxPerl for quite a while and all seems fine. I just updated my win2k build box to PAR 0.86 and now things break (PAR 0.86 seems to work fine in Linux). Using the minimal.pl sample from wxPerl I try:
pp -o minwx.exe minimal.pl
And it builds minwx.exe without errors. When I try to run minwx.exe though, I first get a "Unable to Locate DLL" popup box that says:
The dynamic link library wxmsw252u_adv_vc_custom.dll could not be found in the specified path
C:\DOCUME~1\MIKESC~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\par-Mike_Schroeder\cache-1103829904;.;

C:\Perl\bin\;C:\WINNT\System32;C:\WINNT;C:\WINNT\System32\Wbem.
And on the console, I get:
C:\src>minwx.exe
Can't load 'C:\DOCUME~1\MIKESC~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\par-Mike_Schroeder\cache-11038299

Compilation failed in require at script/minimal.pl line 14.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at script/minimal.pl line 14.
However, the offending dll (wxmsw252u_adv_vc_custom.dll) is indeed in the exe (double checked with winzip) in the lib\auto\Wx\ directory.
I also ran the automted_pp_test.pl and it is fine (except for test 31 i think).
My next test was to go back to an older version of PAR -- the ActiveState repository had 0.75 (eek) -- but it at least built functional wxPerl apps.
Is this a bug in PAR 0.86, or do I have a weird build environment?

This is a real problem - Mike is now running 0.85 without problems !
