Dear Mark,
thanks a lot for the instructions. It seems to have worked.
<http://www.photopla.net/hugin/PAR-Packer-0.980-MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.10.0.par>
can somebody please verify that this is the expected result?
Your instructions were wonderful, I just had to go back once on the
MinGW install and select to install g++ - other than that, everything
worked as advertised.
Too late for me now. Tomorrow I'll look at actually using this to create
an executable, and I will post updated instructions into the panotools wiki.
Thank you very much - I hope my process can be validated, and I hope to
be able to make further such small contribution to this project in the
future.

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
Regards

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

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
