(oops.. gmail web client sent it before I was ready.. should have used TBird!)
Sorry for the slow response, but family summer activities have slowed things down more than expected. (on the contrary, I figured it would allow for more time!) Anyway, I got it to work! The suggestion BUILDOPTEXTRA=-static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ Was close, but it seems those options only affect the compile phase, not the linking. My solution was to modify Perl's Makefile.mk old: LINK_FLAGS = $(LINK_DBG) -L"$(INST_COREDIR)" -L"$(CCLIBDIR)" new: LINK_FLAGS = $(LINK_DBG) -L"$(INST_COREDIR)" -L"$(CCLIBDIR)" -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ -static -lpthread Of course I did it the Strawberry way... create a modified version of Makefile.mk as win32_Makefile.mk create my own Eden.PP build script use the patch method to replace the Makefile as the build progresses. Once that was built and installed, I added "C:\strawberry\perl\bin" to my path, PerlApp found it and the resulting executable worked fine on a system without GCC or other programs! Thanks a lot for you guys' help and a great product!
