Hi guys,

If there are no takers by this evening, I shall build for 5.10 and 5.8
I just need to set up a 5.8 environment.

I would like to try this as well but I'm a newbie, so please do it anyway as I am afraid you can not really rely on me (yet).

I've reported my previous attempt at <http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.par/2008/04/msg3426.html>

it failed somewhere at NMAKE.

My process (on April 13 2008):
* start with a WinXP SP2 box with MSVC 2008EE installed
* installed a fresh AS 5.10.0 build 1002
* start the Perl Package Manager
* install Get-opt-ArgvFile, module-scandeps, par-dist, parse-binary with the PPM
* downloaded manually PAR::Packer (0.978), Win::Exe (0.11) and PAR (0.979)
* tried to build manually the three above packages. Win::Exe and PAR worked, but Par::Packer failed during nmake.

Right now here, in Canada, I still see 0.979 as the latest version on search.cpan.org.

Thanks a lot for this great module, I look forward to (hopefully) build it or at least use it - currently I have to nag one of my fellow community members who has sort of a legacy-still-working-but-not-documented way to produce executables:
<http://wiki.panotools.org/Install_Panotools-Script_on_Windows#Creating_.exe_tools>

that then end up in our window installers <http://panospace.wordpress.com/>

THANKS A LOT!
Yuv



Regards

Mark

Hi list,

in the past, we usually supplied a binary of PAR::Packer for our Windows
users.

Could somebody build PAR::Packer 0.980 (when it hits your mirror) on
Windows (win32, please no 64) using AS Perl or Strawberry as follows and
send me the .par file per mail so I can upload it in my CPAN directory?

perl Makefile.PL
make
make par

Thanks and best regards,
Steffen
