Hey, I survived modifying the load_me stuff, too! But I probably have lower standards :) More seriously, I'm pretty sure you already know how it works, but it's just a vehicle of embedding an arbitrary file as a variable in C code extracting it when run. I believe I refactored some of it to be slightly less insane a few years back. It's still totally a kludge, but alas, I don't have a good idea of how we could work around it. Except that statically linking a libz for some minor compression and reduction of the executable file size would be really cool. Not saying *you* should do that, mind you. Cheers, Steffen

OK, now that I know what to look for and I think I have a little bit better understanding of the anatomy of the pp-generated executables, I re-checked the patch (bug #57272). It does include the DLL in the PAR package, but when I execute the executable, the temporary directory only has the following files: - perl512.dll - pingtest.exe In other words, the DLL is not extracted from the package. Bad news is that according to the cygcheck, both of these files depend on the libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll. So, if I have understood previous messages correctly, it seems that all fingers are actually pointing to the MinGW. -Matti

It seems that parl.exe depends on this library. If the target platform does not have this shared library somewhere in the path, the following error message will be displayed: --- pingtest.exe - Unable To Locate Component --- This application has failed to start because libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem. --- OK --- The project was compiled with the command-line: pp -o pingtest.exe pingtest.pl If the libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll is copied from the Strawberry Perl system (C:\Strawberry\perl\bin\libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll) to the same directory with the pp-generated executable, the executable will work correctly. Trying to include the DLL into the packed executable with an -a option does not solve the problem. Side-note: for some reason a dependency checker (for example cygcheck) does not see that the generated executable depends on the libgcc_s_sjlj-1.dll. Best regards, Matti Kärki
