Re^2: Perl Module Installation in Windows XP

After that I installed nmake.exe as mentioned here:

http://johnbokma.com/perl/make-for-windows.html

I got the following things :-


C:\apache2triad\perl\bin\File-Grep-0.02>perl Makefile.PL

At least your directory for running `nmake.exe` is different. In the anonymous post above, you have `C:\.cpan\build\File-Grep-0.02` as the directory where `File::Grep` got unpacked into, but here you run the stuff in `C:\apache2triad\perl\bin\File-Grep-0.02`. I'm not sure what Makefile.PL or `nmake` are trying to do here. You should better try what you did within the `cpan` shell again.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I tried within the cpan shell. The problem remains the same.	[reply]

Searching for your error message via Google (which you could have done by yourself, already) gives lots of relevant results. All of them indicate that somehow your `Config.pm` is broken. Maybe it comes broken already by default. Most likely, there is a path ending in `Perl\\lib` where it should be `Perl\\lib\\`. As that error seems to happen not only to you, my guess is that the Perl installation that comes with Apache2Triad is broken. You can either try to fix `Config.pm` or use another Perl distribution, like the original ActiveState Perl distribution, or Strawberry Perl.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Hi, now you ask for Win32::Console::ANSI. I was easily able to install it via ppm (Perl Package Manager) without having to install nmake or similar. If you do not have a working cpan shell or ppm, you should seriously consider to install ActiveState Perl or Strawberry Perl Regards, svenXY	[reply]
