Don't mix Cygwin and ActiveState Perl. ActiveState Perl expects nmake.exe by Microsoft, and not the Cygwin make tools. If you installed the Cygwin build of Perl, then make sure that the Cygwin Perl finds the Cygwin make. The Microsoft nmake.exe and the Cygwin make.exe are not compatible, and each Perl build creates a Makefile specificially tailored to the expected version of the make tool.

Make sure make's directory is before nmake's in your path. rdfield	[reply]
