Re^4: Interactive perl on windows

We found the issues in the psh.pm and fixed them. The first issue on windows 7 is that you need to use dmake, not nmake. We changed the makeFile and were able to compile. The second issue was an error in the code itself, at least with the latest Activestate and Strawberry. It is on line 267 of Psh.pm. A line with two equalities on it throws errors.

The first issue on windows 7 is that you need to use dmake, not nmake The operating system is not the controlling factor, the `perl -V:make` entry is, which you can override with `perl Makefile.PL MAKE=nmake` or `perl Makefile.PL MAKE=dmake` ...	[reply] [d/l] [select]

You are right, and my lack of experience is showing through here. The rest of the cpan/activestate packages we use compile fine without needing to change the compiler flag. For an inexperienced user, the psh install was not nearly as transparent as tksh, tk, or many other packages.	[reply]
