Hi,
I think you are on your own building with MSVC 2008EE. I don't know if there
will be anyone else out there using this that can help you. I think you would
have to make considerable amendments to the current build process to
accommodate MSVC 2008EE and I'm not sure at all if you could satisfy MSVC
2008EE assembly requirements whatever you did - but perhaps someone with more
knowledge can correct here?
However, it is simple to build PAR::Packer from source and this is definitely
the way to go. You can use MinGW.
Download MinGW-5.1.4.exe from http://www.mingw.org/
Install to C:\MinGW.
Run the now installed C:\MinGW\MinGW-5.1.4.exe to ensure you get the latest
updates.
Download dmake from http://search.cpan.org/~shay/dmake-4.11-20080107-SHAY/
Extract the whole tree to C:\MinGW\dmake (so probably just to C:\MinGW as
dmake is in the tar folder structure)
Make yourself an environment batch file that contains something like the
following:
#----------------------------------
set MINGW_PATH=C:\MinGW
set PERL_PATH=C:\Perl
set PATH=%MINGW_PATH%\bin;%MINGW_PATH%\mingw32\bin;%MINGW_PATH%\dmake;
set PATH=%PATH%C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\system32\WBEM;
set LIB=%MINGW_PATH%\lib;
set INCLUDE=%MINGW_PATH%\include;
set PATH=%PERL_PATH%\site\bin;%PERL_PATH%\bin;%PATH%
cmd /K
#-----------------------------------
Then, run the batch file to open a command prompt and do
perl Makefile.PL
dmake
dmake par

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!

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
