Subject: inline python not work on win32 systems
I am trying to install the perl-Inline-Python in windows xp (32-bit) and 7 (32--bi). I run the command "perl Makefile.PL" and the error message is on both systeme with perl v5.10.1 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread (activeperl from activestate) and python 2.6.5 (from python.org for windows python-2.6.5.msi 32-Bit): Using These Settings: Extra Libs: Python Lib: -LC:/Python26/libs python26.lib Includes: -IC:/Python26/include Extra Flags: none (perl Makefile.PL --help for details) Checking if your kit is complete...

Please try the attached patch and report back. Comments in the code suggest that this might help. Though if it really helps, this must have been broken for more than 6 years...

I'd argue that the patch did help. At least it fixed your compilation problem. Unfortunately I do not have much of an idea what to do about that linker error. I do not have access to a Windows box and have no experience there. But looking on Google for "undefined reference to `_imp___Py_NoneStruct'" turns up some results that might help. Seems like a problem that happens to other Python extensions as well.

Windows 7 can be downloaded from microsoft as trialversion and be run under Linux, Unix/Solaris or Mac (example: virtualbox) for testing Inline Python on windows. Unfortunately i have no clue whats wrong with windows, if its either the Linker or something similiar ( if you test it under windows please include a short list of needed things like „perl 5.10, python 2.6, mingw/nmake/visual c++/studio as example including the needed librarys)“). A search via google didnt reveal anything useful. I can for a period of time offer a Windows box (including a windows xp sp2 valid license) if you need this. A Laptop can be included.

it works with few changes with mingw (with GCC 3.4.5) in the Makefile.PL on win32 One Problem is the problem from the win32 python installer for path on cmd and follow command help: (the python.org win32 install not set the path) set Path=%Path%;C:\Python26 (or Python25 / Python27) The first Problem is "python.exe" not "python" on win32. Change in Makefile.PL the line $p .= "/python"; to $p .= $^O eq 'MSWin32' ? "/python.exe" : "/python"; The second Problem is Mingw need the libpython*.a (mingw lib) not python*.lib (VC++ import lib, C89 only). It es enough to add one line under @py_libs (Win32 support) as first line for win32 for automatic install with mingw (cpan install with auto answers, maybe check for dmake): 'C:/Python*/libs/libpython*.a', and after that your lines 'C:/Python*/libs/python*.lib', then work it with ActivePerl (5.10 and 5.12 with mingw, ppm install mingw) and the Python 2.6/2.7 from python.org for win32. Special thanks to Ronald Blaschke (rblasch.org) for the help.
