| Subject: | Compile and test failure using dmake on Win32 (Strawberry Perl) |
During 'perl Makefike.PL' of GD-2.35 on MS WindowsXP Home Edition SP 2,
I was asked "Where is libgd installed?" to which I answered
"C:/Progra~1/GnuWin32" (I had installed the package of GD from the
GNUWin32 project). Then I edited the Makefile, changing:
$(LD) -o $@ -Wl,--base-file -Wl,dll.base $(LDDLFLAGS) $(LDFROM)
$(OTHERLDFLAGS) $(MYEXTLIB) $(PERL_ARCHIVE) $(LDLOADLIBS) dll.exp
dlltool --def $(EXPORT_LIST) --base-file dll.base --output-exp dll.exp
$(LD) -o $@ $(LDDLFLAGS) $(LDFROM) $(OTHERLDFLAGS) $(MYEXTLIB)
$(PERL_ARCHIVE) $(LDLOADLIBS) dll.exp
to:
$(LD) -o $@ -Wl,--base-file -Wl,dll.base $(LDDLFLAGS) $(LDFROM)
$(OTHERLDFLAGS) $(MYEXTLIB) $(PERL_ARCHIVE) $(LDLOADLIBS)
C:\Progra~1\GnuWin32\lib\libgd.dll.a dll.exp
dlltool --def $(EXPORT_LIST) --base-file dll.base --output-exp dll.exp
$(LD) -o $@ $(LDDLFLAGS) $(LDFROM) $(OTHERLDFLAGS) $(MYEXTLIB)
$(PERL_ARCHIVE) $(LDLOADLIBS) C:\Progra~1\GnuWin32\lib\libgd.dll.a dll.exp
With those changes, GD.pm built successfully. Without the Makefile
changes, I get errors like:
g++ -o blib\arch\auto\GD\GD.dll -Wl,--base-file -Wl,dll.base -mdll -s

dmake: Error code 129, while making 'blib\arch\auto\GD\GD.dll'
When running 'dmake test', there were more problems. 'perl.exe'
complained that it couldn't find 'libgd2.dll' (which was located at
'C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\bin\libgd2.dll') when trying to load
'./blib/auto/GD/GD.dll'. The following is some of what the test harness
reported, but 'perl.exe' actually gave a popup dialog stating 'This
application has failed to start because libgd2.dll was not found.
Re-installing the application may fix the problem.':
t/Polyline....Can't load
'C:\Temp\cpan\build\GD-2.35\blib\arch/auto/GD/GD.dll' for module GD:
load_file:The specified module could not be found at
C:/strawberry-perl/perl/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 230.
at C:\Temp\cpan\build\GD-2.35\blib\lib/GD/Polyline.pm line 45
Compilation failed in require at
C:\Temp\cpan\build\GD-2.35\blib\lib/GD/Polyline.pm line 45.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at
C:\Temp\cpan\build\GD-2.35\blib\lib/GD/Polyline.pm line 45.
Compilation failed in require at t/Polyline.t line 10.
So I set the following environment variables to make the tests pass:
C:\Temp\cpan\build\GD-2.35>set LIB=%LIB%;C:\Program
Files\GnuWin32\bin;C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\lib;
C:\Temp\cpan\build\GD-2.35>set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Program
Files\GnuWin32\bin;C:\Program Files\GnuWin32\lib;
To make sure I wouldn't have problems in the future, I went to Control
Panel->System->Advanced->Environment Variables and changed those
variables permanently to include the GnuWin32 paths. I don't usually
develop on Win32, but thought you might like to be aware of the problem.
