5.12 Apr2010 - invalid value of $Config{libperl} = 'libperl511.a'

Hi,

Strawberry perl 5.12.0.0 has an invalid $Config{libperl} value - it is 'libperl511.a' instead of 'libperl512.a'

Unfortunately it is a reason why PAR::Packer cannot be installed on Strawberry 5.12.*

Well,

for some reason I have found d:\strawberry\perl\lib\CORE\libperl 511 .a in my strawberry 5.12 .0.0 which means that $Config{libperl} is probably correct.

I am confused.

So finally I got it:

The problem with PAR::Packer is that it expects corresponding names for:
- d:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl512.dll
- d:\strawberry\perl\lib\CORE\libperl511.a

PAR::Packer does the following:
- takes $Config{libperl} value
- tries to find $Config{libperl} in all $Config{libpth} dirs
- takes $Config{'bin'}
- tries to find corresponding libperl5xx.dll in $Config{bin} - this fails

The simplest workaround is to copy d:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl512.dll to d:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl511.dll

We definitelly need to fix this in July2010 release

It's just that the makefile.mk specifies that the 5.12.0 libperl is libperl511.a - patch below. I'm told (from p5p) this has already been fixed in the git repo. ########################### --- makefile.mk_orig Thu Apr 15 17:40:58 2010 +++ makefile.mk Mon May 3 15:14:44 2010 @@ -838,8 +838,8 @@ CFGSH_TMPL = config.gc CFGH_TMPL = config_H.gc .ENDIF -PERLIMPLIB = ..\libperl511$(a) -PERLSTATICLIB = ..\libperl511s$(a) +PERLIMPLIB = ..\libperl512$(a) +PERLSTATICLIB = ..\libperl512s$(a) .ELSE ########################### Cheers, Rob

It has been, and I patched this 2-3 days ago.
