in thread Download Links for Dmake and MinGW

Thanks for the reply. Still not sure which dmake would work. The link in the previous postings which is included in Strawberry? our active perl version is 5.24.0 gccversion: 4.6.3 I have checked the modules from the link, not sure it would work on the server which has no direct internet connection. Thanks a lot for the great help!

    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.

    Cheers,
    Rob
      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.

        Cheers,
        Rob
