With all of this recent discussion about MinGW, I thought I would ask a question.
To start off by stating that I'm a relative Perl newbie here. I have no previous experience with C++, nor of using MinGW. But from what I've read, if one has ActivePerl 'properly installed, configureated and integrated' with MinGW, that the idea here is that if such a configured system attempts to install a Perl module that contains 'xs' code (requiring a 'c' compiler), that such Perl modules may be successfully built and installed. If this is so, I can see how this would be a very desirable Perl configuration to have. The problem is that my main computer is not direct connected to the internet, so I cant issue a 'ppm install MinGW' command. Does anyone know of a step by step manual installation/configuration sequence that one may follow to manually install MinGW to an ActivePerl computer? In a way where it will be able to install modules that require 'xs' code compilation? Where I can download all required files from my internet-connected PC, then copy them to my non-internet-connected PC, and manually do this installation and configuration. Any help here would be greatly appreciated. _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
