in thread Can't run nmake

Is it a nmake.exe that I need to move to the perl module directory?

nmake.exe is being found. It is nmake.exe that is printing: 

Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility   Version 1.50
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corp 1988-94. All rights reserved.

[download]

The problem is that it doesn't understand the contents of the makefile. Probably because it uses syntax that hadn't beem invented when the v1.50 was released.

To get a later version of nmake.exe, you will have to install one of MS C++ compilers. These can be downloaded for free from the MS website. Try googling for visual C++ express download
