Re: Can't run nmake

Taking a little different tack, you may what to see what make program your perl MakeFile.pl has been set:

C:\Users\chuckbutler>perl -V:make -V:cc -V:sh
~~Output~~
make='C:\Perl\site\bin\dmake.exe';
Set up gcc environment - 3.4.5 (mingw-vista special r3)
cc='C:/MinGW/bin/gcc.exe';
sh='cmd /x /c';
[download]

I am using ActiveState 5.10.1 on Vista 64 on this machine with dmake and MinGW.

So, if Config{make} does not match the make util that you are using, it will not work.

Good luck. -c

Thanks for the help. Apparently my make program is dmake. `perl -V:make -V:cc -V:sh Set up gcc environment - 3.4.5 (mingw-vista special r3) make='C:\Perl\site\bin\dmake.exe'; cc='C:/Perl/site/bin/gcc.exe'; sh='cmd /x /c';` [download] Still unsure as to what I will have to do to be able to manually install the modules though. Thanks for trying.	[reply] [d/l]

Never mind. It is probably just `dmake dmake test dmake install` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
