Unless you have a good reason not to, I'd always download the English versions. I've no idea if it is the case here, but in the past some MS products have had language-specific versions which were missing features. The English version of VC9 can be downloaded from http://www.microsoft.com/express/Downloads/ . This isn't the latest version, but that isn't important: what matters is that it matches the version used to build your Perl, especially with recent MS compilers which have a nasty habit of introducing incompatible versions of libc all the time. I don't know which compiler AS use for their 64bit builds: I thought it was VC7, but I don't have a 64bit Win32 machine on hand to check. The free download of VC7 was called 'Visual C++ 2003 Express Edition', and may or may not still be available; search microsoft.com. FWIW, all of this mess is why I gave up on ActivePerl a while ago. I'd recommend getting http://strawberryperl.com/download/strawberry-perl-5.12.0.1-64bit-v2.msi which includes the correct compiler as part of the install. Ben

I uninstalled the French version (took me an hour or so) Then I downloaded and installed the English version from http://www.microsoft.com/express/Downloads/ (the install went straight ahead, there was no possibility to choose between 32 bits or 64 bits) To my disappointment, the English version is also 32 bits only: C:\>cl /?

The recent experience with getting a C-compiler for Perl is what tipped my scale today from Activestate to Strawberry. Thanks for your help.

Then I added the "mingw64\bin" directory to the path. Now, C:\>perl -V:make reports C:\Users\CK\Documents\PerlModules\Text-CSV_XS\Text-CSV_XS-0.73>perl - V:make Set up gcc environment - 4.4.5 20100513 (prerelease) [svn/rev.159365 - mingw-w64/oz] make='dmake'; But there is no dmake.exe anywhere on my Windows Vista 64 bits. ==> I quickly google for "dmake" and I find ==> http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=241 ==> if you are using windows use this use this link ==> http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/GSAR/dmake-4.1pl1-win32.zip So I download and unzip "dmake-4.1pl1-win32.zip" (it's a 32 bit app, but that doesn't matter) and add the directory "dmake-4.1pl1- win32" (that's where dmake.exe lives) to the path (also, please be aware that "dmake.exe" relies on a file "startup\startup.mk", so you make sure that this exists) I also applied the two patches: - to lib/ExtUtils/MM_Win32.pm - to lib/ActivePerl/Config.pm Now I want to download and make Text::CSV_XS, but unfortunately there is an error "gcc.exe: CreateProcess: No such file or directory" C:\Users\CK\Documents\PerlModules\Text-CSV_XS\Text-CSV_XS-0.73>dmake cp CSV_XS.pm blib\lib\Text\CSV_XS.pm C:\Perl64\bin\perl.exe C:\Perl64\lib\ExtUtils\xsubpp -typemap C: \Perl64\lib\ExtUtils\typemap CSV_XS.xs > CSV_XS.xsc && C:\Perl64\bin\ perl.exe -MExtUtils::Command -e "mv" -- CSV_XS.xsc CSV_XS.c C:/Users/CK/DOCUME~1/PROGRA~2/MINGW6~1/gcc.exe -c -DNDEBUG - DWIN32 -D_CONSOLE -DNO_STRICT -DHAVE_DES_FCRYPT -DWIN64 -DCONSERVATIV E -DUSE_SITECUSTOMIZE -DPERL_IMPLICIT_CONTEXT -DPERL_IMPLICIT_SYS - DUSE_PERLIO -DPERL_MSVCRT_READFIX -DHASATTRIBUTE -fno-strict-aliasin g -mms-bitfields -O2 -DVERSION=\"0.73\" -DXS_VERSION=\"0.73\" "-IC:\Perl64\lib\CORE" CSV_XS.c gcc.exe: CreateProcess: No such file or directory dmake.exe: Error code 1, while making 'CSV_XS.o'

I've just used it to build Text::CSV_XS-0.73. I don't think I've overlooked anything in my instructions (apart from the need to have dmake - but you're ahead of me on that, anyway :-) The solitary "-O2" in the failing command is a bit of a puzzle - the patch should have changed that to an "-s -O2", but I don't think that's what's causing the failure. Anyway, if you're happy with Strawberry Perl (and there's no reason you oughtn't be) then that's the simplest route to travel. It gives you a compiler built by the same person (and same toolchain) as the 20100515_sezero zip you downloaded - but Strawberry has gcc-4.4.3, not the gcc-4.4.5 that's currently on offer.

That's fixed now: C:\Users\CK\Documents\PerlModules\Text-CSV_XS\Text-CSV_XS-0.73>dmake Skip blib\lib\Text\CSV_XS.pm (unchanged) C:/Users/CK/DOCUME~1/PROGRA~2/MINGW6~1/gcc.exe -c -DNDEBUG - DWIN32 -D_CONSOLE -DNO_STRICT -DHAVE_DES_FCRYPT -DWIN64 -DCONSERVATIV E -DUSE_SITECUSTOMIZE -DPERL_IMPLICIT_CONTEXT -DPERL_IMPLICIT_SYS - DUSE_PERLIO -DPERL_MSVCRT_READFIX -DHASATTRIBUTE -fno-strict-aliasin g -mms-bitfields -s -O2 -DVERSION=\"0.73\" -DXS_VERSION= \"0.73\" "-IC:\Perl64\lib\CORE" CSV_XS.c gcc.exe: CreateProcess: No such file or directory dmake.exe: Error code 1, while making 'CSV_XS.o' > but I don't think > that's what's causing the failure.

I will install Strawberry Perl 5.12, 64 bits on my Windows Vista and see if that works for me. |
