Hi there I'm trying to compile Cairo for perl (strawberry 5.24) on windows 7. I have download the package Cairo using msys64.
>From the CPAN/Build Cairo folder I have created the makefile with perl Makefile.pl INC="-IC:/strawberry/c/include/freetype2 -IC:/msys64/mingw32/include/cairo -IC:/msys64/mingw32/include -I. -I./build" LIBS="-Lc:/msys64/mingw32/lib" verbose In the C:\msys64\mingw32\lib folder I have copied *.dll.a on *.a files to prevent undefined reference errors when running dmake, following someone's (Rob) suggestion on the mingw-users list. dmake executes without error. dmake test fails with a msgbox "The procedure entry point pthread_setname_np could not be located in the dynamic link library libwinprthread-1.dll" and in the console: t/00-loading.t .... # Failed test at t/00-loading.t line 15. t/00-loading.t .... 1/18 Bareword "Cairo::LIB_VERSION" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at t/00-loading.t line 18. Bareword "Cairo::lib_version" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at t/00-loading.t line 22. Bareword "Cairo::lib_version_string" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at t/00-loading.t line 23. Bareword "Cairo::version" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at t/00-loading.t line 32. Bareword "Cairo::version_string" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at t/00-loading.t line 33. Execution of t/00-loading.t aborted due to compilation errors. t/00-loading.t .... Dubious, test returned 255 (wstat 65280, 0xff00) Failed 17/18 subtests etc... Is it that my libwinpthread-1.dll in my c:/strawberry/perl/bin is not the compatible with the one in c:/msys64/mingw32/bin/ (there size differs 51 KB / 65 KB) ?
