Question

I have been trying to build .exe through PAR in windows XP and
my perl version is 5.8.8.. I installed the latest PAR from PPM

I gave the following command in the command prompt,

C:\Documents and Settings\abc\Desktop\serial>pp -o serial.exe serial.pl

Set up gcc environment – 3.4.4 (cygming special, gdc 0.12, using dmd 0.125)
Program too big to fit in memory
Access is denied.

Also it throws me the following error popup..
C:\DOCUME~1\abc\LOCALS~1\Temp\parlLoYJMpa.exe is not a valid Win32 application.

Actually my script in just one line code..
I am confused…
Please help me….

Answer 1

Worked fine for me, but then I use pp all the time with no problem. I didn’t get any “Set up gcc environment…” message, no messages at all. I’m putting this as an answer because not enough room in the comment for all this:

I did a gcc -v and got:

C:\tools\perl\tests>gcc -v
