AARG! Yet another help install "inline.pm" on Win32!
in short:
I got installed:
vanilla-perl
activestate perl
inline.pm (installed with cpan)

uninstalled Visual studio developement. inline.pm kept nagging about the files in VC\bin

in directory:
C:\vanilla-perl\_Inline\build\test_inline1_pl_33e8

I do:
perl Makefile.pl

I get:
Set up gcc environment - 3.4.5 (mingw special)
Writing Makefile for test_inline1_pl_33e8

I then do:
dmake

(man, I dont know if this makes sense, I'm just trying to do the same thing with "dmake"
as I'm told to do with "make/nmake" in the support notes)

then I get:

if I try to run my inline test script "test_inline1.pl"
I get:

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

The build directory was:
C:\vanilla-perl\_Inline\build\test_inline1_pl_33e8

To debug the problem, cd to the build directory, and inspect the output files.

at test_inline1.pl line 0
INIT failed--call queue aborted.

What to do?
I have tried those solutions I could find on the net, but none of them works!?
I'm REALLY stuck!
