RE: [EXTERNAL] Re: par-packer-1.037 installation issues

Hi Roderich,

I installed dmake and MinGW. Then I ran perl makefile.pl with no errors

When I typed dmake
It says error code 129 while making main.o
And error code 258 while making subdirs
A window promps out
cc1.exe the application wasn’t able to start correctly.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Uomg

Hi Roderich,

I have succefully installed MinGW manually which has binutils and gcc.
Do I need to install dmake or msys2 for “make”  in addition?

Thanks

Ying

Actually, you don't specifically need Mingw - you need a C or C++ compiler to build PAR::Packer. Usually that's either MIngw or Microsoft Visual Whatever.
For MIngw, I'd try https://mingw-w64.org/ - you'll want the  Win-builds (packages binutils, gcc and make should be sufficient).

You probably have reasons to use ActiveState Perl, but there are alternatives like Strawberry Perl (http://strawberryperl.com/) that come with Mingw preinstalled.
