dmake -n install produces this output:

Is this what you were looking for? I am running dmake on Windows XP. Should I run nmake or some other 'make'? Thanks very much!!

    I am not sure. You are using dmake with ActivePerl. I dont have experience with that. I believe makemaker needs to be informed whether to create dmake or nmake makefiles. I dont know how to do that. Did you do a dmake clean before the dmake -n install? You are missing a large amount of commands from the -n output.

      Do you see ActivePerl::DocTools? ActiveState does that by patching MakeMaker.pm and Config.pm, so if you did ppm install MinGW dmake ought to work out of the box
