unable to compile with strawberry perl 5.12.3

[vrobin]

After installing a brand new strawberry perl portable (from ​http://strawberryperl.com/download/5.12.3.0/strawberry-perl-5.12.3.0-portable.zip )

Padre compilation from cpan failed:

Problem can be solved by adding adding -lpsapi in winxs\Makefile:

LDLOADLIBS = -lpsapi -lmoldname -lkernel32 -luser32 -lgdi32 -lwinspool -lcomdlg32 -ladvapi32 -lshell32 -lole32 -loleaut32 -lnetapi32 -luuid -lws2_32 -lmpr -lwinmm -lversion -lodbc32 -lodbccp32 -lcomctl32

Can't reproduce on Win 7, 32 bits. But vrobin is on x86_64.

The -lpsapi seems to be already handled in the winxs/Makefile.PL.
Could you provide a patch for Makefile.PL?

I could provide a patchfile for the dirty workaround in winxs\Makefile, but it's dirty. I don't know how Makemaker at all so it would be difficult to me. If you give me some guidance I can try to validate a change in Makefile.PL.

Extract from generated winxs\Makefile with reference to -lpsapi:

#   MakeMaker Parameters:

#     ABSTRACT => q[Padre Win32 API XS Wrapper]
#     BUILD_REQUIRES => {  }
#     CONFIGURE_REQUIRES => {  }
#     DEFINE => q[-DPSAPI_VERSION=1]
#     LIBS => [q[-lpsapi]]
#     NAME => q[Padre::Util::Win32]
#     PREREQ_PM => {  }
#     SKIP => [q[test]]

Makefile and Makefile.2 attachments are the same file, both are generated and unmodified winxs\Makefile files.

Problem is confirmed with v0.88 and v0.90

[azawawi]

Let me try it them on my new win7 64-bit vm :)

[azawawi]

s/them/then :)

Could not replicate. Let us see if it still the same case when Padre 0.92. Changing it to major.
