tobi has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I just can't get the makefiles produced by MakeMaker to work on my System(Win98, ActiveState Perl 5.61, lcc). Is there a way to do manually what the makefiles should do? I already figured out I'll have to call xsubpp somehow on the .xs file. After some time i found xsubpp as a perlscript without filenameextension under lib\ExtUtils. But you must I compile the resulting C-file? Where can I find the header-files(perl.h XSUB.h EXTERN.h)? Any ideas?
