Re: Re: trouble installing win32-process

Although I didn't have any make program installed when i installed perl. perl -V:make tells me its nmake
using winxp, activestate perl 5.8
when i tried using the ppd file provided w/ win32-process from activestate, ppm tells me it can't find a suitable target for win32-process.

nmake error is :

I think that Win32::Process is included in Activestate Perl 5.8, although I'm not sure. Try this: `perl -MWin32::Process -e 1` [download] If you don't get any errors, you're good to go. This error `'cl' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.` [download] means that you don't have a C compiler installed. When you install modules that have ".xs" components, you need a C compiler. Specifically, you need to use the same C compiler that was used to compile the particular 'perl' program you are using, in this case Microsoft Visual C++. The good news is that you can use the Standard or even, I think, the Learning Edition to compile XS modules. It's not too expensive.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
