Re^9: Download Links for Dmake and MinGW

our active perl version is 5.24.0
I would have thought that you would still have access to ActiveState's PPM repo for such a recent perl, and that ppm install MinGW would work just fine.
Ideally you want gcc-4.6.3. (Even though it's fairly old, it's what was used to build your perl).
The only question is whether you want the 64-bit version or the 32-bit version - but without seeing perl -v output, I don't know which it is that you need.
Similarly for dmake - if you grab a 64-bit version, it probably won't work on a 32-bit Windows. (A 32-bit version should be ok on either a 32-bit or 64-bit perl, so you'll probably be ok with http://strawberryperl.com/package/kmx/32_tools/32bit_dmake-4.12.2-bin_20140810.zip.)
It's a pity that you couldn't provide me with the info I requested.

Thanks for the reply Rob! I appreciate your help.
Perl -v output: ActiveState Perl Version 5.24.0, built for MSwin32-x64-multi-thread
perl -V output: perl platform summary:
osname: MSWin32, osversion: 6.1, archname:MSwin32-x64-multithread
unfortunately, activeState didn't provide community PPM for MinGW, only enterprise edition.
From your response, maybe I should use a 32-bit version for both Mingw and dmake. Do you happen to have a link to 32bit Mingw that would work with the above 32bit dmake I can try?
Sorry, didn't mean to hid information. I thought the perl version was what you are looking for. Please let me know if you need more info.
Thanks
Ying

They hinted earlier that they perhaps don't have a direct internet access.

Oh, yes - I overlooked that.
Thanks for pointing it out.
And I certainly agree that Strawberry Perl is just an ever-so-much-simpler solution, assuming there are no interfering managerial constraints.
