in thread Net::Pcap installation help (and not with the library)

With the same developer library on both machines - with the desktop I get:

C:\Perl\Everything.PERL\Packages\Net-Pcap-0.16>perl Makefile.PL INC=-I
+C:\Perl\Everything.PERL\Packages\Net-Pcap-0
.16\WpdPack\Include "LIBS=-LC:\Perl\Everything.PERL\Packages\Net-Pcap-
+0.16\WpdPack\Lib -lwpcap"
socket.h patched... ok
looking for -lwpcap... yes
checking for pcap_lib_version() in -lwpcap... yes
detecting available functions... ok
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Writing Makefile for Net::Pcap
Writing MYMETA.yml and MYMETA.json

For the perl Makefile.pl command... But the laptop cannot find the same libraries...

    Not finding libraries like "kernel32" are a bigger issue. You said you are using Strawberry? That should have a C compiler and the required Windows libraries.

    • Did you move the Strawberry installation from the default C:\strawberry?
    • Is c:\strawberry\c\bin in your path?
    • Is MSVC++ installed on these machines and potentially conflicting?

      1. No I didn't move the installation from the default c:\strawberry - should I have?

      2. Yes that folder exists

      3. No MSVC++ is not installed on either machine (*yet*)

      Could permissions be an issue?

        What are the results of:

        perl -v
perl -V:cc
perl -V:make
path

        on each machine?
