Unfortunately it seems I did not properly test the change made in 7626a9c
That change uses the non-mangled DLL name only when first unzipping the archive. Subsequent calls using the cache dir still use the mangled name and hence Gtk2, Cairo, Pango and Glib all hit issues when loading their dlls on Windows.
Previous discussion is under #8
My current workaround is to always check if the target exists under $ENV{PAR_TEMP}/inc: shawnlaffan@64b5eac
This works except that it is necessary to add the lib/auto/Gtk2, lib/auto/Cairo etc dirs to the path before any use Gtk2 call.
Maybe there is an additional change that can be applied to PAR::Heavy, but I'm not sure where.
