I was using ASP PDK to convert a few my perl scripts to binary. ASP PDK
is no longer available. I switched to “PAR-Packer” instead.

Perl: ASP perl 5.24.1 x64

PAR-Packer-1.037

OS: windows 10 home x64

I use TKPP to setup  environment. everything seem to go well (I do not
see any error/warning messages except for the very last two lines.

1. Is I choose Scan dependencies  "execute only", "execute+static",  ,
then I see my script GUI on the screen and it runs fine.
2. All other Scan dependency options cause the same failure.

C:\Perl64\site\bin\pp.bat: ... adding

When I check the temp folder "C:\Users\SM\AppData\Local\Temp" I do not
see "parlGiqenzz.exe"

Where did you get PAR::Packer from - did you build it yourself?
If so, did you run successfully "make test"?

Cheers, Roderich

Hi Roerich,

I installed my copy from ASP using the ASP PPM. However, I just
downloaded the same package from CPAN (PAR-Packer-1.037)

and run the command "CPAN" to make and install, it fails at the end, I
hope you can help.

I also uninstalled PAR-Packer-1.37 and installed 1.35 from ASP. The
outcome is the same.

... and it says:

windres -i winres/pp.rc -o ppresource.coff --input-format=rc --output-format=coff --target=pe-x86-64
'windres' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

You need to install the windres program. It should have come with gcc
(wherever you got C:\Perl64\site\bin\gcc.exe from). Otherwise google for it.

Cheers, Roderich
