Hi @rsenright,

Thanks for writing! Can you share additional details, such as what version of Perl you installed with the state tool and what steps you took before encountering this error?

Cheers!

Perl version 5.32.1 was installed on 2 machines but ‘state install Tk’ does not function.

See build log.

Binary build 32.1r9 (for the Perl install)

I tried this on a Dell Inspiron and Thinkpag T430.

Thanks

Rick

@rsenright,

This is a known issue that I’m currently working on. We need to import a newer version of Tk onto the platform and include some missing dependencies.

I’ll follow up here once the ingredient is building properly.

Tk 804.036 is now imported onto the platform and successfully builds for Windows and Linux.

Please let me know if you continue to experience any problems with it.

Thank you very much. I was able to get this installed!!

Are you able to look at Win32-API?

@rsenright,

That looks like a bug in the state tool itself rather than with WIn32-API.

I haven’t been able to reproduce it on my side, but I’ll send it over to the team that is responsible for that code.

8

Actually, now I have reproduced it.

I’ll let you know what the developers find.

9

Ok, so there’s two issues here.

  1. You’re attempting to add a Windows only package to a project that contains a Linux version. If you did it on the platform website, you’d see a solver error.

You can see it if you try it here:
https://platform.activestate.com/rsenright/perl/customize

  1. The state tool is handling the solver error badly. This piece will need to wait for the state tool developers.

There’s a few methods for handling the solver error.

  1. Create a separate project for Windows
  2. Create a separate branch for Windows
  3. Add the “Win32” bundle to the project in the UI.

The Win32 bundle will add Win32::API in a conditional manner that excludes it from the Linux platform.

Try running:
state bundles install Win32

10

Thank you I did remove ‘Linux’ from the project. Not sure if that would help.

I will try your options.
Thank you so much.

11

Thank you so much that was very much helpful.
My next issue is with DBD-Pg
Can you try to install this? It installs but the call to utilize it does not work.
use DBD::Pg;

returns:
Can’t load ‘C:/Users/asus/AppData/Local/ActiveState/cache/00ad50ac/site/lib/auto/DBD/Pg/Pg.dll’ for module DBD::Pg: load_file:The specified module could not be found at C:/Users/asus/AppData/Local/ActiveState/cache/00ad50ac/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 193.
at AlarmReport.plw line 16.
Compilation failed in require at AlarmReport.plw line 16.
BEGIN failed–compilation aborted at AlarmReport.plw line 16.

It looks like some sort of dll issue.
Thanks again.

12

I just responded on the other thread.

13

Thank you I figured it was a different issue so I should open it’s own dialogue.

14

this all works as advertised until I run a program and get
Can’t locate Tk.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Tk module) (@INC contains: c:/Users/morry/AppData/Local/activestate/cache/96b5ca01/site/lib c:/Users/morry/AppData/Local/activestate/cache/96b5ca01/lib) at test.pl line 4.
BEGIN failed–compilation aborted at test.pl line 4.

need help Please!

15

The Perl Tk module still can’t be supported on Windows for recent versions of Perl.

16

hi,
any update so far, is Tk module still cannot be loaded into Windows 11 ? I’m still getting this error message:

Can’t locate Tk/LabEntry.pm in @INC (you may need to install the Tk::LabEntry module)

17

Hey #2,

We are actively looking into Tk as of now. We hope to be able to provide Tk for Perl on Windows in the near future, but we can make no promises at this time. Until it is working we recommend using Tkx on windows instead of Tk.
