Perl/GTK for Windows Build, February 2006

• Install MinGW, including any compilers
• Install MSYS Developer's Toolkit
• Unzip all of the other precompiled binaries into the Perl directory. All of the binaries use a UNIX filesystem structure, i.e. binaries in bin, libraries in lib, etc, which by coincidence, Perl also uses. So use the toplevel Perl install directory for unpacking all of the binary zipfiles. The files compiled to be used inside of ActiveState will unpack with a blib (build library) as the topmost directory. Unpack all of the ActiveState files into that directory, then move those directories into the Perl installation.
  • SUCCESS! - Resulting folder is 68Mb uncompressed, 18Mb compressed (zip), and can run the simple examples listed on the Gtk2-Perl website.
