Hi,
This particular problem has several alternate solutions posted to this
list. The main problem is that the acceptable parameters to some
binutils progs are a moving target so what works on my gcc may not work
on your gcc.
For Strawberry see kmx post of 24 May 2012 to this list or
https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=77408
I would suggest this needs to work (for MinGW flavours) on the MinGW for
Strawberry 32 and 64 bit and the MinGW installed by ActivePerl PPM for
32 and 64 bit - all of which will have different binutils versions.
I posted the patch below in February but I now can't remember which
versions of binutils I tested against. It certainly wasn't tested
against the 64 bit MinGW ActivePerl currently installs.
Anyhow, what needs to happen is someone finding the time to install and
test the above four setups with choice of
a) single line or two step resource creation.
b) explicit architecture or rely on defaults.
I think my experience was all the versions I tried supported the single
line resource compilation and relying on default architectures worked
fine - but that was February and kmx's different patches are proven to
work with Strawberry.
Hope It Helps
Mark

Hi,
I got this email address from Steffen Müller, after he mentioned on IRC
that he no longer maintains PAR::Packer.
I'm not sure if anyone in charge knows yet, but this module hasn't compiled
on Strawberry Perl for the last few years. There was a time I could get it
working by using a somewhat old version of the module, but even after
trying all the old versions I can find from https://metacpan.org/ last
week they still result in the same problem(s). I decided to finally
write in after seeing a surprising amount of people joining #win32 on
irc.perl.org and asking about it.
All that is needed to demonstrate this is install any recent version of
Strawberry Perl, and run: cpan PAR::Packer on Windows.
Can anything be done? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank
you, to whoever reads this. I'd be more than happy to be the mule that
attempts to try different versions to see if any suggested patch might make
this work again.
Here is an error log, from the command: cpan PAR::Packer 1 pp-error.txt
