I tested this problem either with Strawberry Perl and either with Activestate Perl. I want to install Crypt::DES and Crypt::Blowfish.

I'm using dmake and mingw in order to compile the C library and to install the module, but this error is introduced and the dll doesn't compile:

g++: Blowfish.obj: No such file or directory
g++: _blowfish.obj: No such file or directory
dmake: Error code 129, while making 'blib\arch\auto\Crypt\Blowfish\Blowfish.dll

This is the operation that I do:

C:\-.cpan\build\Crypt-Blowfish-2.10>perl makefile.pl
Set up gcc environment - 3.4.5 (mingw special)
