I’m using the following patch recommended by you: http://strawberryperl.com/package/kmx/perl-modules-patched/Win32-GUI-1.06_patched3.tar.gz
I’m on Windows 8 x64 using Strawberry Perl 5.18.0.1-64bit
When installing with pip, as you recommended, I received a number of subsequent test failures due to syntax errors in the code. I’ve listed them here, along with the changes I made to correct them. I’m sorry that I don’t have the exact syntax error output available, but my descriptions are accurate to my memory.
Win32-GUI-Constants/t/10_inherit.t, Line 26:
Win32::ABC->import qw(CW_USEDEFAULT);
Gave a syntax error on “->import”.
Changed to:
Win32::ABC->import(qw(CW_USEDEFAULT));
Next error...
Same file, line 32:
is(CW_USEDEFAULT(), 2147483648, "correct value");
Resulted in something along the lines of “undefined subroutine &main::CW_USEDEFAULT” runtime error.
Changed to:
is(&CW_USEDEFAULT, 2147483648, "correct value");
Next error...
Win32-GUI-Scintilla/Scintilla.PL (makes into Scintilla.PM) fails on use by /t/01_load.t
Cited a runaway multiline from 130-135 of Scintillia.PL (actual error ended on line 108 in eventual .PM build):
for my $option qw(
-name -parent
-left -top -width -height -pos -size
-pushstyle -addstyle -popstyle -remstyle -notstyle -negstyle
-exstyle -pushexstyle -addexstyle -popexstyle -remexstyle -notexstyle
) {
Changed to:
for my $option ("-name", "-parent",
"-left", "-top", "-width", "-height", "-pos", "-size",
"-pushstyle", "-addstyle", "-popstyle", "-remstyle", "-notstyle", "-negstyle",
"-exstyle", "-pushexstyle", "-addexstyle", "-popexstyle", "-remexstyle", "-notexstyle"
) {
After these changes, the module successfully installed. I do not know if there was some sort of intended syntax choice at work here, but this worked for me. I’m submitting this bug report before extensively using the module after this installation.
