Re: nmake win32

Under Cygwin, you should be able to manually build modules by doing the following:

Download from CPAN, say (for example) http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/M/MS/MSHELOR/Digest-SHA-5.43.tar.gz

Unzip/untar/un-archive, using folder names, into a temp directory, cd to that directory, then:

perl makefile.pl
make
make test 
make install
[download]

If you have problems with any of those steps, post a reply to this thread and someone will follow up.

Good luck,

yes, but the problem is making sure I am using the correct make utility here. If I can troubleshoot this then I should be able to resolve the problem and install the module as described above. Expo	[reply]

Yes, I understand. That's why we've all been pointing you to Cygwin's native `make`. :-) planetscape	[reply] [d/l]

but the problem is making sure I am using the correct make utility That's easy to determine. At the command prompt simply enter: perl -V:make And that will tell you the correct make utility to use. (ie that will tell you to use 'make' ... a sentiment already echoed throughout this thread :-) Cheers, Rob	[reply]
