hi guys

i've got some problem.

I tryed compile module without ppm.

when I "make",I've seen error like this.

make: *** No rule to make target `C:\Perl\libConfig.pm', needed by `Ma +kefile'. Stop.

conditions

windows XP

ActivePerl-5.8.8.824-MSWin32-x86-287188.msi

MSYS-1.0.11.exe

MinGW-5.1.6.exe

module Text-Kakasi-2.04.tar.gz

I'm not sure of failure point but I think "libConfig.pm" should be lib\Config.pm, plz help me.

    You're using the wrong make program. You might be able to override with

    perl Makefile.PL make=make
    but its better to use the program your perl is configured to use
    $ perl -V:make make='dmake';

    Yes, it should - and if that error doesn't go away when you switch to using dmake instead of make, let us know (as it's something that will have to be fixed).

    Cheers,

    I second using dmake as the make utility with ActiveState/Windows. If it is not installed in your Perl distribution already, the PPM for it should be on the ActiveState site.

    Good luck. -c

      ActivePerl is built using MS's compiler and nmake. These are actually better choices. MinGW + dmake can be used too. Both combos are freely available.

      Recent versions of cpan and/or Perl's module building toolchain will use MS's compiler and nmake if found, and fall back to installing and using MinGW and dmake if not.
