# how to build exe from source

Check you have all required modules installed:

Win32::GUI
Win32::GUI::Grid
Win32::Clipboard
DBI
DBD::SQLite
Win32::API
Config::General

install patched Image::Magick:
ppm install http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/Image-Magick_.ppd
this package dont ask registry and is relocatable unlike original one.

To decrease size of resulting exe file you can remove some dlls 
and leave only this files (for processing bmp,gif,jpeg and png):

CORE_RL_bzlib_.dll     IM_MOD_RL_magick_.dll  configure.mgk
CORE_RL_jpeg_.dll      IM_MOD_RL_png_.dll     delegates.mgk
CORE_RL_lcms_.dll      Magick.bs              type.mgk
CORE_RL_magick_.dll    Magick.dll             english.mgk
CORE_RL_png_.dll       Magick.exp             type-ghostscript.mgk
CORE_RL_tiff_.dll      Magick.lib             locale.mgk
CORE_RL_ttf_.dll       X11.dll                log.mgk
CORE_RL_zlib_.dll      analyze.dll            magic.mgk
IM_MOD_RL_bmp_.dll     autosplit.ix           msvcr71.dll
IM_MOD_RL_gif_.dll     coder.mgk              
IM_MOD_RL_jpeg_.dll    colors.mgk             

Install PAR module, cd in source directory and run:
pp -o ebaytools-0.0.xx.exe -l noimage.bmp -l msvcp60.dll -l ebaytools.ini ebaytools-0.0.xx.pl
