Title: Which tool is used to pack exiftool script for Windows?
Post by: blacklion on June 06, 2015, 04:24:38 PM
I want to pack my script (which uses Image::ExifTool for sure!) same way.

I could not make PAR::Packer work under cygwin (it is not reccomended, anyway), Strawbery perl (it has problems with CPAN on my system!) and Activestate perl (it complain about version msmatchec between perl executable and library)!

Thank you.

I use PAR (which version I couldn't tell you offhand), and have had very little trouble with it.  Search for "pp_build_exe.args" in this forum and you should find my build configuration.

I'm sticking with an older version of ActivePerl though (version 5.8.something) because I had some problems with newer versions.  Not packaging problems though, but some minor incompatibilities.
