I think I've mentioned this to people before, but I'll mention it here again: Padre has a prerequisite module that does not compile on 64-bit Strawberry. :( The help needs to be on Win32::API to get it to compile on the 64-bit version of Strawberry (where archname='MSWin32-x64-multi-thread'), because Win32::API includes some x86 assembly that will not work for x64. There is an active rt.cpan.org bug about this - https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=55660 - and it includes a patch that ALMOST works, as far as I understand. I know, deeper magic of the Narnian type. Not everybody will have the ability to help with that bug. If that bug isn't fixed, a disappointing decision has to be made, however. If you're willing to only have a 32-bit version of "Strawberry + Padre", we can consider this as not a blocker, and just generate a 32-bit build. RT#55660 is the ONLY reason I haven't gone to Perl 5.12 for the Strawberry + Padre installers (and therefore have a relocatable installer) - all other XS modules that Padre requires have been updated for x64, if I recall correctly. I have their authors to thank for that! If the decision is made that we'll only have a 32-bit installer, or RT#55660 is fixed (which means we can create a working 64-bit installer), I'll create 5.12-based installer(s) for the first post-0.64 stable version of Padre that is released after the July 2010 version of Strawberry Perl. --Curtis -- Curtis Jewell csjew...@cpan.org http://csjewell.dreamwidth.org/ p...@csjewell.fastmail.us http://csjewell.comyr.org/perl/ "Your random numbers are not that random" -- perl-5.10.1.tar.gz/util.c Strawberry Perl for Windows betas: http://strawberryperl.com/beta/ _______________________________________________ Padre-dev mailing list Padre-dev@perlide.org http://mail.perlide.org/mailman/listinfo/padre-dev
