When running install under CPAN shell I get this (at testing):

A problem was encountered while attempting to compile and install your
+ Inline
C code. The command that failed was:
  make > out.make 2>&1

The build directory was:
/cygdrive/h/.cpan/build/Inline-0.44/C/_Inline_test/build/_04perlapi_t_
+3c76

To debug the problem, cd to the build directory, and inspect the outpu
+t files.

So I go there and view the file:

I am not that familiar with gcc - but it seems that id did not make the _04perlapi_t_3c76.dll and then it complaints that it is missing.
Any hints?
