Re: Installing Glib::Object::Introspection

[Daniel Kasak <d j kasak dk gmail com>]

I've removed the previously-named distributions at the request of the Strawberry Perl people ( they thought the name might cause confusion ). The current version is:
http://tesla.duckdns.org/downloads/JewelKit-1.0_strawberry-5.20.1-gtk-3.14.3.zip

 ... and I always have links to the most recent on my blog.

As for the issue of producing individual bundles vs replacing an entire Strawberry installation - yes I would like to be able to produce individual packages vs the entire thing, but there doesn't appear to be an existing sane way of doing this, unfortunately. The best suggest I was given was to write something that took a snapshot of all files ( and file sizes / MD5sums ) before and after installation, then use the differences to copy new files into a package. I guess I should do this. But currently I'm the only known user of any of this. Also I wonder how compatible these individual packages would be with someone else's Strawberry Perl binaries.

Just out of curiosity, what's so good about your particular version of Strawberry Perl? :)

Your two options for G:O:I on Windows are to re-use someone else's
existing work (pre-compiled Strawberry Perl with Gtk3/G:O:I), or if
you want to keep your existing Strawberry Perl install(s), you can
download the compiled gobject-introspection libraries for your version
of Windows (you didn't mention if it's 32-bit or 64-bit Windows 7),
and then compile G:O:I yourself under whichever version of Strawberry
Perl you are using (which you also didn't mention).

So far, nobody else but Daniel has stepped forward to put together a
bundle for Windows that has Gtk3 and G:O:I (thanks Daniel!).  The
reason this is so is because it takes a lot of work to make just one
Perl/GTK bundle for Windows;  creating bundles for each and every
combination of Strawberry Perl and GTK on Windows is apparently more
work than anyone has time for right now.

If you're volunteering to do the work of building a Gtk3/G:O:I
installable bundle for all permutations of Windows
versions/architectures and all versions of Strawberry Perl that would
run on those Windows versions/architectures, I'm sure you'll make a
lot of people happy.

Thanks,

Brian
