in reply to Problem In C Inline use????

Have you installed nmake.exe (outside link - download) on your system? That's a vital component, but because it's provided by Microsoft (not by the author of Inline), it has to be obtained separately.

      Iirc, the nmake executable that you download (which is named something like 'nmake95.exe') is an "installer" program that you need to run in order to install a somewhat ancient version of nmake.exe. (There's a more recent version freely available somewhere on the MS website that offers better mileage.)

      What does running 'nmake /?' produce ?

      However, next you're faced with the issue of finding a compiler. If you're going to use Visual Studio, then it already comes with a more recent (and more functional) version of nmake, so you would be better to use it instead of the nmake that you've downloaded. And if you're going to use the MinGW compiler, then you're better off with 'dmake' which can be obtained from CPAN.

      Cheers,
