• I have ExtUtils::MakeMaker (version 7.24).

  • The temporary override "perl Makefile.PL CC=g++" works ok.

  • I researched the error message "fileparse(): need a valid pathname" at line 1187 and found that it is issued by module "File::Basename qw(dirname)".

    This is as far as I've gotten trying to track down the source of the error in C:\Strawberry\perl\site\lib\ExtUtils\Install.pm.

    7 use File::Basename qw(dirname);
    1165 while(my($from, $to) = each %$fromto) {
    1187 my $dirname = dirname($to);

    It appears the "$to" variable in line 1187 which comes from the "%$fromto" hash in line 1165 is empty, but I feel like I'm on the verge of descending into a rabbit hole here. :-)

    Update: I took my research one step further and found that the subroutine "pm_to_blib" in C:\Strawberry\perl\site\lib\ExtUtils\Install.pm is referenced in the following makefile:
    C:\Strawberry\cpan\build\Image-Magick-7.1.1-10\Makefile

    ... and that's where my expertise in this area ends. :-(
