Re^5: problem installing PLJava on Windows Vista

It gets weirder by the minute. (You did run 'nmake realclean' before starting with dmake ? And you'll need to remove 'nmake.exe' from your path in order to successfully use 'dmake'. Check that 'perl -V:make' reports 'make=dmake' before running 'perl Makefile.PL')
I've got the same as you, yet the build succeeds. ('dmake test' won't work, so there's still some work to do, but at least the 'Makefile.PL' and 'dmake' steps work ok - though there's a couple of warnings during 'dmake' that bother me a bit.)

So, probably best to post the entire output you get from running 'perl Makefile.PL' and 'dmake'. I've copied the output I'm getting, and placed it below my sig - maybe you can spot something relevant.

What version of ExtUtils::MakeMaker do you have ? I have 6.42_01 which is the version that shipped with build 1005.

Cheers,
Rob

I don't get these warnings: PLJava.c: In function `main': PLJava.c:173: warning: control reaches end of non-void function PLJava.c:173:13: warning: no newline at end of file [download] Do you have a 'main' function in PLJava.c ? Where on earth did it come from ? PLJava.c is a file that shipped with the PLJava-0.04 source. My copy of it definitely has no function named 'main', and there is definitely a newline at the end of the file. If we get those 2 things sorted out it might build.
