What part of the error message is giving you problems?

You're using Microsoft Visual C++ compiler or similar but the LIB and INCLUDE environment variables are not both set. You need to run the VCVARS32.BAT batch file that was supplied with the compiler before you can use it. A copy of vcvars32.bat can typically be found in the following directories under your Visual Studio install directory: Visual C++ 6.0: vc98\bin Visual Studio .NET: vc7\bin

Find it, run it, then retry this.

You will need to have MS Visual C installed.

Your version of the make executable is the wrong one. MAKE Version 5.2 Copyright (c) 1987, 2000 Borland indicates that you're using some kind of make tool supplied by Borland. You will need the Microsoft tools.

You can try to replace your Perl with Strawberry Perl, which includes a matching C compiler and hijacks the environment so that it works right out of the box. It should even be mostly compatible with ActiveState Perl 5.10.
