Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

hi
i am using camelbox with windows xp , i have tried to install win32::gui ,
writing perl makefile.pl , i got info "At this time Win32::GUI::DIBitmap cannot be build using gcc." this is because win32gui built using MS VC 6.0, i have visual c 6.0 installed before installing camelbox, so is it possible to force "perl makefile.pl" to use the make.exe of VC6 and not the default gcc , inside the camelbox\bin folder i have found gcc.exe and mingw32-gcc.exe files
thanks

    Normally you could use 
    perl Makefile.PL MAKE=nmake CC=cl

    [download]
    but Win32-GUI-1.06/Win32-GUI-DIBitmap does its own checking, but you can still use 
    perl -MExtUtils::FakeConfig=make,nmake,cc,cl Makefile.PL

    I use Strawberry Perl not camelbox when working in Microsoft Windows, however did you read the 'Building from source' note in the Readme file?
