Install Perl Bin on Win32 Using Mingw (GCC)

[Matthew Ogan]

I think I have spent enough time browsing the FAQs and generally searching
the internet. What's the secret to installing as described in the subject.
I am using Dmake as descibed in README.win32 but cannot find the Template
for a GCC installation. I have resolved a few errors but cannot get past
the following:

gcc -mdll -o
...\perl58.dll -Wl,--base-file -Wl,perl.base -g -L"d:\programming\p
erl\5.8.0\lib\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread\CORE" -L"d:\programming\MinGW\lib" \
C:\Temp\mk00022a

where "d:\programming" is my root directory.

Flaming is welcome as long as accompanied by an answer.

I found the answer after having posted the question. You use g++ instead of
gcc for linking (as directed in makefile.mk). Your advice will still be
used (at least it's worth printing out). Thank you.
erl\5.8.0\lib\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread\CORE" -L"d:\programming\MinGW\lib"

I didn't invoke g++ at any stage ...... maybe I don't understand something
about what you're doing.

Anyway, hey, if it's working as you'd like then I'm not gunna complain or
criticise
