hi monks,

I'm trying to install the Prima IPA module on my machine (WinXP running perl 5.8.0). The docs say to unpack, type makefile and make. I eventually realized that make is actually meant to be nmake. I used that (both from inside the MinGW interface and the command window) but got the error listed in this thread. So I downloaded MinGW and installed it, as per the advice in the thread, but got the same error when I typed nmake. Using the nmake file that came with MinGW gives the error:

cl  -c -nologo -Gf -W1 -MD -Zi -DNDEBUG -O1 -DWIN32 -D_CONSOLE -DNO_ST
+RICT -DHAVE_DES_FCRYPT  -DNO_HASH_SEED -DPERL_IMPLICIT_CONTEXT -DPERL
+_IMPLICIT_SYS -DUSE_PERLIO -DPERL_MSVCRT_READFIX -W1  -nologo -MD -Zi
+ -DNDEBUG -O1   -DHAVE_CONFIG_H=1 -IC:\home\src\1\Prima\include -IC:\
+home\src\1\Prima\include\generic -IC:\Perl\lib\CORE -Iinclude -Iinclu
+de\generic IPA.c -FoIPA.obj
mingw32-make.exe: cl: Command not found
mingw32-make.exe: *** [IPA.obj] Error 127

Any ideas about how to install this module?

Update: I now get the error:

Can't read makefile ': Makefile IPA.cls'

I think this means I'm missing a number of .h files. The docs say:

If some of the required libraries or include files can not
be found, INCPATH+=/some/include and LIBPATH+=/some/lib semantics
should be used to tell Makefile.PL about these.

What's the INCPATH and LIBPATH, and why would adding to them find the missing files?
