How can I use GD module in Windows XP ?

[À̹淡]

Dear Sir!

I'm a beginner in perl programming.

My os is Windows xp home edition and I want to create some graphic images
with perl module.

I downloaded the GD-2.30 moduel at CPAN but I can't install.

the error message say that I should use libgd 2.0.28 or higher. so I
downloaded gdwin32 at www.boutell.com

but the website say that I should use ANSI C compiler. At some message, gcc
is free and we can get c compiler at ftp://ftp.cygnus.com, but I can't get
anything.

How can I use GD module in Windows XP system?

Sincerely

You don't say what version of Perl you are using on your XP
system. If you are using ActiveState Perl, try:

ppm install GD

at a command prompt. That should download and install the GD
module and all the other modules it may require. Then look in
the module's docs ( perldoc GD ) and try some of the examples to
be sure it works.

You need this one first:

ppm> rep add threoryx http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/

And don't forget to use a binmode() here and there.

With IO::All I needed to add a 'binary':

$io_dst->binary < $dst_img->jpeg(90)
or die "\$dst_img->jpeg() failed: $!\n";

Thanks Dr. Ruud and Bob Walton

On the command prompt , I typed as follows

ppm rep add threoryx http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/

ppm install GD


Thank you Sir!
