Many thanks for the analysis.
These heuristics in myldr/Makefile.PL for "is our C compiler gcc?"
etc are absolutely horrible. The only defense is that even
ExtUtils::MakeMaker in its latest revision does it, too.
Can you try the latest PAR::Packer (1.007) and change line 106
of myldr/Makefile.PL (as you suggested) from
} elsif ($cc =~ m/^gcc\b/i or ($cc =~ m/^cc\b/i and $gccversion)) {
to
} elsif ($cc =~ m/\bgcc\b/i or ($cc =~ m/\bcc\b/i and $gccversion)) {
and check if it works?
Also, let me know if there's any other problem with
PAR::Packer 1.007 and your ActiveState 5.8.9.
There are probably other places where heuristics of this kind
go wrong. As a quick example I just tried ActiveState 5.10.1
with the MingW compiler that comes with Strawberry perl
(should work in theory). But the heuristics didn't find perl510.lib,
so par.exe didn't even link :( Looks like ldopts() from ExtUtils::Embed
is the culprit here.
