I went to http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/ and I downloaded what I thought would be a MinGW executable package, that is a zip-package that contains precompiled Windows files like "g++.exe", "gcc.exe" and "dmake.exe": Under address http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/ I downloaded \External binary packages (Win64 hosted) \Binaries \Coin-2.5.0-bin-x64.zip \jpeg-8-bin-x64.zip \expat-2.0.1-bin-x64.zip \yasm-0.8.0-bin-x64.zip \fftw-3.2.2-src.zip \libiconv-1.13.1-bin-x64.zip \gsl-1.14-src.zip \openssl-snapshot20100331-bin-x64.zip \zlib-1.2.4-bin-x64.zip I was hoping to find precompiled files like "g++.exe", "gcc.exe" and "dmake.exe", but none of these packages had any of the required exe-files. > In short, for the moment at least, you'd be better off grabbing the > freely available "Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2" > compiler and using it with the x64 ActivePerl builds I can't seem to get the Windows *.exe-files I need for 64 bits from MinGW, so I grabbed the freely available Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Compiler (*** a whopping 200 meg !!! ***). I am currently downloading (45%...) ...let's see how this works out...

I have downloaded and installed "Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2". Apparently, I can now compile with Visual C++ 2008 ... ....but the linker complains with a message: fatal error LNK1112: module machine type 'X86' conflicts with target machine type 'x64' I can't find any solution in Google.

I have got two computers: - one computer with Windows Vista 64 bits and Activestate Perl 5.12 - 64 bits - another computer with Windows XP 32 bits and Activestate Perl 5.12 - 32 bits As already described in the other posts in this thread, I am happy with "ppm install MinGW" on my 32 bits computer. However, on my other 64 bits computer, (although I can perfectly understand that "ppm install MinGW" does not work on a 64 bit Windows system) I still need to have a C-compiler to build XS-modules from CPAN. First I tried to get MinGW64 at http://mingw-w64.sourceforge.net/, but I could not find any package/zip file that contained the required pre- compiled *.exe files for Windows 64 bits. Then I tried the freely available "Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2", but honestly, this is a nightmare: first of all, the download+install of VC++/Platform SDK is more than 200 megs, then the linker complains with a message: fatal error LNK1112: module machine type 'X86' conflicts with target machine type 'x64'. I was looking at the article http://jenshuebel.wordpress.com/2009/02/12/visual-c-2008-express-edition-and-64-bit-targets/ to fix my problems, but on my system I can't even find the slightest trace of any of the x64/amdx64 directories/dlls mentioned in the article. I can understand that a big company like Activestate can afford to use a MS Visual C++ compiler, but I am simply not clever enough to use the freely available compiler from Microsoft. My only hope is that the good people who gave us "ppm install MinGW" on 32 bits, will repeat their efforts and release the same for 64 bits.

You can't do that. They need to match. If I understood you correctly, your perl is 64-bits, so you need to compile your modules in 64-bit mode, too. hp |
