I figured I just forgot to install some basic stuff for compiling

No -it's nothing you've overlooked. I've come across this problem before - I think it has been fixed in perl 5.8.8. If not, it has been fixed in bleadperl and should therefore be fixed in perl 5.8.9.

If you go into C:/PXPerl/lib/CORE/win32.h you should be able to find the following block of code: 
     #ifndef _INTPTR_T_DEFINED
     typedef int  intptr_t;
     #  define _INTPTR_T_DEFINED
     #endif

     #ifndef _UINTPTR_T_DEFINED
     typedef unsigned int uintptr_t;
     #  define _UINTPTR_T_DEFINED
     #endif

Just before that above code, insert: 
#ifdef _STDINT_H
#ifndef _INTPTR_T_DEFINED
#define _INTPTR_T_DEFINED
#endif
#ifndef _UINTPTR_T_DEFINED
#define _UINTPTR_T_DEFINED
#endif
#endif

[download]

And that should fix that problem for you. Probably best to first make a backup copy of win32.h in case you mess something up with the copy'n'paste :-)

I think the blame lies with win32.h - though it's interesting to note that this problem would not arise if ExtUtils::ParseXS did not insist on inserting the "-IC:\mingw\include" switch.

Cheers,
