Hello Strawberry-perl folks! I am facing a bit of an issue with running dmake on my *windows 64-bit machine*, and I would appreciate some help with this:
My system details: OS: Windows 2008 Server 64-bit Strawberry perl installed from here<http://strawberryperl.com/releases.html>, I installed the strawberry-perl-5.12.2.0-64bit.msi My path looks now looks like: %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2010b\runtime\win64;C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2010b\bin;C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin;C:\strawberry\c\bin;C:\strawberry\perl\site\bin;C:\strawberry\perl\bin When I type "dmake " without arguments in the command prompt, I get the error: dmake: makefile: line 157: Error: -- Syntax error in % rule, missing % target which seems to suggest that dmake is installed, and is looking for the correct target However, when I try to use dmake with a legitimate Makefile, it cannot find the correct files and directories even though they are right there in the correct place. dmake -f Makefile.win gives the error cd src CreateProcess failed (2) dmake: Error executing 'cd src': No such file or directory damke: Error code -1, while making 'subdirs' Now, I have checked again that the src/ directory does in fact exist, and one can cd into it. Also, I am the Administrator on the machine, the software and the files have the correct permissions. Could someone please tell me how to run dmake correctly, or pointers to what I could be doing wrong. It just seems bizarre to me! -- Priya Bhat
