in reply to pdf libraries for Strawberry Perl

Are sure they required 'nmake' specifically, or just any 'make' utility? Strawberry comes with 'dmake' which essentially does the same thing and is compatible with the GCC distributed with Strawberry. I've had issues in the past trying to use 'nmake' with Strawberry / GCC and 'dmake' with ActivePerl / Visual Studio.

    I found this link on Monks: using dmake instead of nmake on Windows that talks about how to use dmake instead of nmake. Maybe that helps the OP? Also appears to have other tips on how to get nMake in a free SDK.
      Thx. I will take a look
