The CVS version of PDL should build straight out of the box with MinGW (and Visual Studio, also) on Win32 - at least it does for me. Let me know if you find it doesn't for you. Unfortunately the version currently found on CPAN (2.4.2) is pretty much broken on Win32 - though I do have patched files that will enable it to build. The ActiveState procedure for building ppm's is very much an automated one - and I don't really think we can expect to see a Win32 ppm of PDL at ActiveState until CPAN has a version that's *not* broken. Hopefully that day won't be too far away. Cheers, Rob _______________________________________________ Perldl mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.jach.hawaii.edu/mailman/listinfo/perldl
