After using the unix2dos both machines applied patches (although no response with patches 0002 & 0003 just moved on to a new command line with no errors). On the desktop the cmd perl Makefile.pl executes correctly with all libraries, but still doesn't dmake. The laptop sees a library, then gives me: "Note <probably harmless>: No library found for -lkernel32" and proceeds to list another 18 libraries it can't find I installed winpcap, I unzipped the developer library into C:\WpdPack, I used the command line to tell it where it is - still no luck.... What am I missing here?
