Re: Re: Nmake......STOP!!

I'm running ActivePerl under Windows Me. And the Nmake i'm using is for Windows but I still don't know whats wrong.
I was only intrested in the module so I could look into using graphics in some programs, could you perhaps recomend a different module I could use.
Thanks, Eoin...

Aha, that means the makefile is not appropriate for nmake. There are a number of differences between (unx) make and nmake with respect to syntax, etc. Normally, you get the appropriate makefile using `perl Makefile.PL`. That generates a makefile, in case of ActiveState Perl a makefile for nmake since those guys still don't support any other compiler than VC++ and its utilities such as nmake. If there's a file Makefile.PL, run `perl Makefile.PL</p> and then <code>nmake test`, `nmake install` (if the former succeeds. That might work or not, but I'm not optimistic. It assumes that everything will be build and ocmpiled with VC++ and Gtk stuff is very* un*x. I hope this clarifies things a bit, good luck, -gjb-	[reply] [d/l] [select]
