| About Camelbox |
A build of Perl with Gtk+, packaged and ready for use on 32-bit Windows systems
A complete build of Perl for 32-bit Windows that includes:
* A nice Windows installer that automatically downloads and installs the correct archive files
* All of the core Gtk2-Perl modules (Gtk2, Glib, Cairo), as well as their equivalent C libraries compiled for Windows.
* A working CPAN module
* Bonus (!) Perl modules
* Extra binaries, utilities, development libraries/headers for compiling even more Perl modules from CPAN
* Lots of Perl/GTK documenation in HTML format
all neatly packaged and ready to install!
Requirements
This application requires GTK+ version 2.12.x.
Other dependencies include: Camelbox actually comes with GTK+ 2.12.11 and it's dependencies. For the OS, Windows 2000 or newer (XP, 2003, but not Windows 98/ME), 32 bit versions only |

What's changed?
- The installer has a newer layout, with a new banner page as the first page of the installer
- *IMPORTANT* The install types have been changed; There's a new standard install ("The Starter"), and then each subsequent install type builds on that; there's also basic installs, which gets you just the bare minimum if you want it. If you want everything (old installer behaivor), choose "The Bloatware" from the install type menu when you get to the package selection screen
- MinGW updated to 5.1.4, and all binaries rebuilt against it. This should fix problems with running binaries on Windows Vista.
- Packaged XML::Parser 2.36
- Packaged Gtk2::Ex::PodViewer. Pleasant Perl POD viewing on Windows awaits!
- Updated GTK libs to GTK+ 2.12.11, Glib to 2.16.5 and Cairo to 1.6.4-2
- Updated the Gtk2-Perl modules to Gtk2 1.183, Glib 1.183, and Cairo 1.060
- broke the Expat C libs out into their own packages
- Updated LZMA to 4.58 beta
- Broke out and packaged all of MySQL version 5.0.51b; there's now -bin, -client, -dev, -debug, -docs, and -server MySQL packages
- Broke out the CPAN metadata files into their own package
- Upgraded Moose to 0.54, and Class::MOP to 0.63
- Created a package for Win32::API and Win32::ODBC
- Packaged the SQLite .dll and .exe files into separate packages.
- Upgraded the SQLite binaries to 3.6.0
- Updated Glade XML GUI builder for Windows
- Tweaked the UnxUtils package so that the binaries in that package that have the same name as Windows binaries also have copies that start with 'x' in their filenames; find/xfind, head/xhead, date/xdate, sort/xsort
- The license for the Camelbox-specific files (support scripts and installer files) has been changed from GPLv2 to the same license(s) as Perl (Artistic/GPL v1).
