Goo::Canvas on win32

[Jeremy DS Volkening <volkening mailshack com>]

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone's been able to compile the Goo::Canvas module 
on win32? I've built the main gtk2-perl modules without  much problem 
and have gotten Gnome::Canvas working after fiddling around with the 
makefile. I've been working on Goo::Canvas for a while with no luck, and 
haven't found any help online. Goo::Canvas 0.04 compiled with a little 
tweaking but perl dies without any useful information every time I try 
to run a script using the module. I can't get 0.05 to compile at all - 
with MSVC I keep getting an error about:

LINK : warning LNK4044: unrecognized option 
'/Wl,-out-implib,blib\arch\auto\Goo\Canvas\Canvas.lib.a'; ignored
Canvas.def : fatal error LNK1107: invalid or corrupt file: cannot read 
at 0x5B
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: '"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 
9.0\VC\BIN\link.EXE"' : return code '0x453'

I've tried to research the -Wl and -out-implib flags, but I don't know 
enough about C/C++ and compiling to find a solution. I've also tried on 
another system using MinGW, with different errors but no luck. I'm about 
ready to give up for now, but if anyone's had success or has any 
suggestions, I'll keep at it. It would be great to get this working on 
Windows - I've played with it on Linux, but I need my apps to be 
cross-platform and for now I'm using either Gnome::Canvas or Tkzinc. 
Here's my setup:

Windows XP SP2
Activestate Perl 5.8.8 build 824
Pre-built GTK+ binary bundle for win32 (2.14.3-20080926)
ExtUtils-Depends-0.301
ExtUtils-PkgConfig-1.11
Glib-1.200
Cairo-1.060
Gtk2-1.200
Goo-Canvas-0.04/0.05
Microsoft Visual C++ Express 9.0

Thanks for any advice,
Jeremy
