Is this all that is needed to get up and running with building Perl modules? Should be all that's needed. You might want to take a look at what changes the running of that command makes to the path. I installed the compiler into C:\_64\Platform_SDK. I therefore have to run: `C:\_64\Platform_SDK\SetEnv.cmd /XP64 /RETAIL` [download] If you've installed into a directory that contains spaces you may need to double-quote the path: `"C:\path with spaces\SetEnv.cmd" /XP64 /RETAIL` [download] That prepends the following 3 directories to my path: `C:\_64\Platform_SDK\Bin\Win64\x86\AMD64 C:\_64\Platform_SDK\Bin C:\_64\Platform_SDK\Bin\WinNT` [download] It's the first of those directories that houses the compiler (cl.exe). If it's the same for you, and the Makefile.PL can't find the compiler, then one suspects a Makefile.PL bug. Which module (and version number of that module) is it that produces this error ? Math-FFT-1.28 is a nice, easy extension to build just to check that everything is as it should be. Here's what I get for it: C:\_64\comp\Math-FFT-1.28>perl Makefile.PL Checking if your kit is complete...

I am assuming that the setenv command has executed correctly because I get the output "Targeting Windows XP X64 RETAIL" but there's a catch: The path is not getting updated. I don't know if it is enough to update it manually but this didn't seem to help.	[reply]
Re^10: Installing Perl modules on Win64/Perl 5.8 by syphilis (Archbishop) on Mar 30, 2010 at 08:58 UTC
Targeting Windows XP X64 RETAIL That looks right. It comes from this section of setenv.cmd: `Echo Targeting Windows XP X64 %DEBUGMSG% Echo. Set Lib=%MSSdk%\Lib\AMD64;%MSSdk%\Lib\AMD64\atlmfc; Set Include=%MSSdk%\Include;%MSSdk%\Include\crt;%MSSdk%\Include\crt\sy +s;%MSSdk%\Include\mfc;%MSSdk%\Include\atl Set Path=%MSSdk%\Bin\Win64\x86\AMD64;%MSSdk%\Bin;%MSSdk%\Bin\WinNT;%pa +th% Set APPVER=5.02 Set TARGETOS=WINNT Title Microsoft Platform SDK XP X64-bit IE 6.0 %DEBUGMSG% Build Enviro +nment Goto Finish` [download] As you can see, there's more to it than setting just the path - it also sets the Lib and Include environment variables appropriately. What does the corresponding section of your setenv.cmd contain ? Is %MSSdk% being set correctly ? It should be the location you installed to. (For me it's `C:\_64\Platform_SDK`) Just put an "Echo" in front of the "Set Lib ..." command, and you'll see what %MSSdk% is set to when you run setenv.cmd. What does it produce ? Does it match an existing directory ? Could you put a copy of your setenv.cmd on your scratchpad - or even post it here ? As it stands, we've really very little to work with.

When I ran "perl MakeFile.PL" for the first time it complained I didn't have a C compiler on my path. Could you give the exact error message you get. I suspect that this may be due to a broken test in EU::MM that looks for an executable named 'cl' rather than 'cl.exe'. Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error. "Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority". In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice. "I'd rather go naked than blow up my ass"	[reply]
