in reply to Making ActiveState dist use Cygwin gcc on Win32

the only way to get modules going under Active State AFAIK is with nmake. availible here occasionally you will fail on building modules because you do not have cl.exe or c1.dll both of these are availible in older versions Visual Studio. I got a student version several years ago for $150 i'm not sure if these can be found anywhere else. nmake is usually enough to build packages under windows.

Otherwise you can build with the version of perl that comes with cygwin.

Nmake isn't a problem--got it. Many mods want to compile C or CPP code and want cl.exe (not freely available from M$ AFAIK). I have it at work, but not at home, so I was looking for a cheap way to use AS Perl and build those mods at home.	[reply]
