Looks like you have a missing library called "bufferoverflowU". This node has some relevant details and potential solutions.	[reply]

Just comment out the last 3 lines below in the makefile. This was required for earlier versions if the compiler, but not for VC++ v9: `# The 64 bit Platform SDK compilers contain a runtime library that doe +sn't # include the buffer overrun verification code used by the /GS switch. # Since the code links against libraries that are compiled with /GS, t +his # "security cookie verification" must be included via bufferoverlow.li +b. !IF "$(WIN64)" == "define" LIBBASEFILES = $(LIBBASEFILES) bufferoverflowU.lib !ENDIF` [download] A real fix would be to make it conditional upon both platform (64-bit) and compiler CCTYPE.

Ok, this gets to the next step, I had also got around this by switching to VC8.0 which had the bufferoverflowU.lib in the Amd64 folder... putting the different build path batch file and re running, so it shows up now as v8, behold: C:\Users\B\Downloads\latest.tar\latest\perl-5.10.1\win32>nmake install `Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 8.00.50727.42 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.

I thought the define for perlcrt.lib is turned OFF, yet it still shows up as cannot find that file.	[reply] [d/l]

This is what the makefile.mk has in regards to the error # The 64 bit Platform SDK compilers contain a runtime library that doesn't # include the buffer overrun verification code used by the /GS switch. # Since the code links against libraries that are compiled with /GS, this # "security cookie verification" must be included via bufferoverlow.lib. .IF "$(WIN64)" == "define" LIBBASEFILES = $(LIBBASEFILES) bufferoverflowU.lib .ENDIF There was no bufferoverflowU.lib found in the download, will look to download the 64b SDK?

Why not just strawberry perl?	[reply]

Why not just strawberry perl? Why not just what Strawberry Perl? Scrap it? Abandon it? Consign it to the bit bucket? :) I guess you mean, why not use Strawberry Perl. So, let me turn the question around. Why use Strawberry Perl? How would it address the OPs problem?
