Re: Building Win32::GuiTest for perl 5.14 or higher

:Perlbinperl.exe: not found .... dmake.exe

This means the makefile was written for nmake and not dmake, so it won't work with dmake

Try cpanp -i Win32::GuiTest

or use cpanp -z Win32::GuiTest then perl Makefile.PL MAKE=dmake && dmake test then dmake install

This shouldn't happen on activestate, but ActiveState is know to patch ExtUtils::MakeMaker and fudge it up, you might consider installing the latest manually from CPAN

This means the makefile was written for nmake and not dmake, so it won't work with dmake I don't think so. The error I get when I run 'dmake' with a makefile written for 'nmake' is significantly different: C:\sisyphusion\Win32-GuiTest-1.59>dmake dmake: Error: -- `C:\_32\ap1600\libConfig.pm' not found, and can't be + made [download] Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l]

I don't think so Well, your path and his path do not match :) but I take your point I've seen that message before so many times ddg://C:Perlbinperl.exe: not found -> Re: perl on win2k, make: C:Perlbinperl.exe: Command not found, #114 (Win32 build failure due to incorrect `make` detection) – Parrot so I jump to nmake/dmake/make mixing I've also seen it happen in postamble but that isn't the case here, even though there is a problem (for some) `Failed to load or import from ExtUtils::ParseXS (version 2.2210).
