Hi Roderich, I have succefully installed MinGW manually which has binutils and gcc. Do I need to install dmake or msys2 for “make” in addition?

Actually, you don't specifically need Mingw - you need a C or C++ compiler to build PAR::Packer. Usually that's either MIngw or Microsoft Visual Whatever. For MIngw, I'd try https://mingw-w64.org/ - you'll want the Win-builds (packages binutils, gcc and make should be sufficient). You probably have reasons to use ActiveState Perl, but there are alternatives like Strawberry Perl (http://strawberryperl.com/) that come with Mingw preinstalled. Cheers, Roderich
