Re: Re: How to install without PPM?

Your error may have to do with Cygwin; the ActiveState Perl is set up to work from CMD.EXE or COMMAND.COM. Try running perl Makefile.PL from the stock Windows command line interpreter. You will also need nmake from Microsoft (freely available, see one of the WIndows Perl FAQ's) unless you re-configure to use a different make utility.

Also make sure when you try the stock interpreter that your environment variable SHELL is unset, and that COMSPEC points to the stock CLI (it should).

I couldn't find nmake from Microsoft where it used to be. I'd use the make replacement written in Perl as also mentioned in the FAQs or found following my link elsewhere in this thread. Update: Thanks, bikeNomad. I've updated my other note to have both links now. - tye (but my friends call me "Tye")	[reply]

I run the download script (a couple times now). I say yes to overwrite previous versions of nmake.err and nmake.exe, but nothing shows up in c:\ when I type in "nmake" or "nmake15", it returns "not recognized as internal or external command, operable program or batch file."	[reply]
