I'm trying to build Win32::Printer with Freeimage.dll support (under
windows xp using the MS free compilers). The default build is to have
it without FreeImage support when you install it using 'c:\perl\bin
\cpan' , so I am manually unzipping the source ans running
makefile.pl, then nmake. When I do this I get referneces to
delayimp.lib not being found, but it works OK.

How did you install the compiler? If delayimp.lib cannot be found on
your hard drive, you could download and install the Platform SDK or
the Driver Development Kit, they both include the library. If you do
have it on the hard drive and it cannot be found, you have to adjust
the library paths (e.g. using `set LIBS=...`). Usually the compilers
come with a special command prompt and batch file that sets the en-
vironment up properly.

If you use ActivePerl you might also be able to install the module
via ppm, e.g.http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/dist/Win32-Printerhas a ppm
module for Perl 5.8.x and ActiveState might also offer one.

Hi Bjorn,

Thanks for the info, I can now compile. The library file WAS inthe DDK
as you said, I had downloaded the platform and .net developer packages
(which it is not in).

Thanks again
