Although I have never compiled software on Windows, I did install the GD binary and other supporting modules using PPM, from the Active State web site.

If you access PPM and type 'search GD' at the PPM prompt you should be able to locate the modules you require.

I have been using GD for a few weeks now, and have also installed the GIFgraph module, to support additional graph formats.

NOTE:

I am pretty new to module installation and still consider myself a Perl newbie; if I have misunderstood your question please excuse me.

The dogs bark; but the caravan rolls on.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
