Re: Compiling Games::Irrlicht on Windows

The mingw compiler is is getting confused by the microsoft compilers flags - all is not lost however - you can download the VC++ compiler from here.

I had the VC++ compiler, but the makefile looks for mingw. Do you know how to change the makefile? I have very little experience compiling things. Thanks Just another Perl Hack	[reply]

Did you create the Makefile in the usual way? I.E by running `Makefile.PL` - it should always get the compiler that the Perl was compiled with (in the ActivatePerl case VC++). However you could just change the references in the Makefile from 'g++' to 'cl' and that should fix it I would guess. /J\	[reply] [d/l]

I fixed Makefile.pl.win32, then I copied all the .h files from my VC++ distribution into perl\lib\core but it's asking for windows.h now, and I don't seem to have that file. Do you know where I can get it? I ran a search and nothing came up. Thanks Just another Perl Hack	[reply]
