downloading and installing GD and GD::Graph for windows

Hi everyone,

I'm used to installing perl modules in Unix but I'm having to learn how to do that in windows also. I'm having a very hard time with it. Currently I'm trying to install GD  perl module in windows. It is not available through ppm so I'm trying to do it manually, but I have not succeeded yet.

First of all,

it asks for prereqs of:

           ;  The gd graphics library: http://www.boutell.com/gd/

           ;  The PNG graphics library:http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/libpng.html

           ;  The zlib compression library:http://www.gzip.org/zlib/

 

I'm not able to do this. But moreover, in unix I typically just download the file, unzip it and perform:

makefile.pl

make

install

Whats the equivalent of this procedure in Windows?

Any guidance would be really appreciated.

thanks
