Could you repost those errors - putting the copy'n'paste inside code tags. I find what you posted to be quite confusing - in fact I can't make sense of it at all. On ActivePerl build 817, I did find that Tk-800.027_500 failed to build using dmake and MinGW - yet using the very same dmake and MinGW with both my MinGW-built perl-5.8.8 and Strawberry Perl, Tk-804.027_500 built and tested fine. That section of the build process that you posted worked fine for me with build 817. I get: . . cp PNG.pm ..\blib\lib\Tk\PNG.pm cd zlib && dmake libz.a "CC=gcc " gcc -O3 -Wall -c -o adler32.o adler32.c gcc -O3 -Wall -c -o compress.o compress.c gcc -O3 -Wall -c -o crc32.o crc32.c gcc -O3 -Wall -c -o deflate.o deflate.c gcc -O3 -Wall -c -o gzio.o gzio.c gcc -O3 -Wall -c -o infback.o infback.c gcc -O3 -Wall -c -o inffast.o inffast.c gcc -O3 -Wall -c -o inflate.o inflate.c gcc -O3 -Wall -c -o inftrees.o inftrees.c gcc -O3 -Wall -c -o trees.o trees.c gcc -O3 -Wall -c -o uncompr.o uncompr.c gcc -O3 -Wall -c -o zutil.o zutil.c ar rcs libz.a adler32.o compress.o crc32.o deflate.o gzio.o infback.o + inffast.o inflate.o inftrees.o trees.o uncompr.o zutil.o . . [download] You did copy the 'startup' directory to the same location as 'dmake.exe' as per the instructions in the Readme that comes with the dmake bundle ? I haven't had a chance to properly investigate the failure with ActivePerl. Maybe tomorrow, if I get a chance. (I get a few linking errors with tkwinX.c - which I think will be resolved by successfully linking to libimm32.a. Hopefully it won't be too difficult to fix.) Cheers, Rob Update: For the record, linking to libimm32.a and libcomctl32.a fixes the problem. I'm not sure why they don't get linked in automatically, as happens with my other builds of perl. As "proof of concept" I opened up the ActivePerl lib/Config_heavy.pl and inserted " imm32.lib comctl32.lib" at the beginning of the `libs=' ...` entry. That's probably not the best way to fix the problem - it's just a hack that enables Tk-804.027_500 to build using MinGW and dmake on ActivePerl 817.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

What is startup directory? You should find it in the zip file (http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/S/SH/SHAY/dmake-4.7-20061120-SHAY.zip). From the 'Readme.txt' that ships with that zip package: `DMAKE needs a set of startup files that are located in a subdirectory +called "startup" where DMAKE.EXE lives, or in a directory specified by a DMAK +EROOT environment variable. So, to install it, just copy DMAKE.EXE and the +startup subdirectory to some location on your path.` [download] I don't know if that's the problem. Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l]
