I took it that build means
perl Makefile.pl
dmake
dmake test
dmake install
The "Prima.a" file was recreated so I changed the name in the
c:\strawberry\perl\site\lib\auto\Prima again and just ran:
dmake
dmake test
dmake install
It seems that performing the 'dmake install' re-creates "Prima.a", but
apparently it doesn't matter because when I performed a 'cpanm install
PDL::Drawing::Prima' it passed for the 0.5 version and 'cpanm install
PDL::Graphics::Prima' installed correctly as well.
There is a note in the Prima Makefile.pl that says:
** Warning: expected format of Makefile generated by
ExtUtils::MakeMaker is
changed, so making of library Prima.a will not be performed correctly.
Prima will run OK, but modules dependent on it may not build.
Please notify the author.
BAD_MAKEFILE
Is that a hint that it is the Prima build that is not functioning as expected
for dependent modules?
In any case, it works great.
Thanks for your help Rob.
Great interface Dave.

After you've installed Prima, you should find that you have:
C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib/auto/Prima/Prima.a
Rename that file to:
C:/strawberry/perl/site/lib/auto/Prima/libPrima.a
Then you should be able to build PDL::Drawing::Prima.
That hack works ok for me - let me know if it doesn't work for you.
What we need to do, is work out a correct fix - so that hacks like the above
are not necessary. But I don't know where the problem ought to be fixed.
If the building of Prima were to name the import lib 'libPrima.a' instead of
just 'Prima.a', then there would be no problem. That might be the simplest fix,
but I'm not so sure that it really ought to be up to Prima to fix this.
I think the problem is associated with the existence of 2 separate dll's named
'Prima.dll' (one made by building Prima, the other by building
PDL::Drawing::Prima). That being so, another solution would be to rename the
'Prima' part of 'PDL::Drawing::Prima' to anything other than 'Prima', so that
the Prima.dll built by Prima is the only Prima.dll that gets created ... but
that's an unfair imposition on the naming of the PDL::Drawing::Prima module.
Cheers,
Rob
