in reply to Get NMAKE U1077 error when installing Tk Module 804.029

Strawberry Perl comes with and is configured for dmake, not nmake. The tools use a different syntax.

I recommend you try using dmake instead of nmake:

perl Makefile.PL dmake dmake test dmake install

    @Corion: Thank you so very much! Your recommendation was spot-on! Tk successfully installed and I even ran a simple test case in a (Strawberry) perl script just now and it worked like a champ! Many, many thanks for all your help. dd

      Same thing applies for active state perl too. dmake also comes as default package in activestate perl too.
