I have run time issues with exe files produced , using Par-Packer-1.013.
When the exe file is run
on machines which do not have C compilers installed on them, it throws an
error hinting libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll is not found.
The same happens on my
own laptop when I run the produced file after nullifying the path variable on
my machine.
It works without issues
if the DLL folder is on the path.
I googled the issue over
, and redeployed the module after copying the dll file to the \perl\bin\ folder
, and the issue remains.
I glanced through
patches applied over earlier releases of this module , and find PAR 1.013 as
all the patches/effective code , relevant to this applied .
I dont see any patches/suggestion relevant to this version that needs to be
applied.
I Am not sure whether I
am missing/overlooking something trivial here .
The
file libgcc_s_dw2-1.dll resides in folder c:\mingw\bin
I have used PAR and PP on windows
earlier, but have never experienced this issue.
I would appreciate any feedback ,
which addresses the situation .
Here is the output
of objdump on the executable
C:\temp\objdump -ax sample.exe |
find "DLL"
vma:

Here
are some details on the software on my machine
Module: Par-Packer-1.013
downloaded from CPAN.
Perl: Activestate Perl
5.12 running on windows ( microsoft professional , version 2002 , service pack
3 )
PPM version : 4.11 from
active state
Dmake Version: 4.11.20080107 ( loaded through ppm
install dmake )
PAR module 1.005 ( installed using ppm )
Ming C Compiler verion
4.5.2 installed separately , and is in folder c:\mingw
I had no issues with the
deployment , except for one prototype mismatch at makefile creation time,
listed below.
The dmake test and
dmake install ran without any hitch.
I have provided the
information displayed when perl –V and –v were run on the command prompt.
