Hi,

It worked!!!

If the Prigraph files sit in C:\perl\lib\core the makefile of Prima will
pick up image files.

Infact when I modified the makefile.pl of Prima-prigraph-win32-1.01 to
$Config{archlib}\CORE and ran makefile.pl it actually was sitting in
C:\perl\libcore.

Thanks for the suggestions.

Thanks,
Jis

Hi Gira,!

Gira,> 1. Does Prima::prigraph::win32 give me image libraries.

yes

Gira,> Perl makefile.pl WANTNOCODECS=3D1 and get away with this error.
How

dependencies.

Well, you _did_ configure Prima without any codecs, right?

Gira,> I would guess Prima::prigraph::win32 will solve the

It looks like it wasn't properly installed. When it is,
prigraph.lib and prigraph.dll should be picked up by Prima/Makefile.PL
and WANTNOCODECS is not needed. Check makefile.log if there
are any clues why prigraph wasn't recognized by Makefile.PL .

I think it is a bug in Prima::prigraph::win32 Makefile.PL, that
copies prigraph.lib into wrong location, in
$Config{installsitelib}\auto\Prima. Try to copy the file into
$Config{archlib}\CORE and rerun Prima's Makefile.PL, see if it
picks up prigraph.lib .
