The fix may be as simple as grabbing 'dmake' from http://search.cpan.org/dist/dmake/ and using 'dmake' instead of 'mingw32-make'. (It's normal to use 'dmake' instead of 'mingw32-make' wrt *perl* and MinGW.) Even if that doesn't fix the error, stick with 'dmake' - don't revert to 'mingw32-make'. Installation of 'dmake' is simple enough - but be sure to do it right or it won't work :-) From the 'README.txt': "So, to install it, just copy DMAKE.EXE and the startup subdirectory to some location on your path" Then, of course, add the location of 'dmake.exe' to your sytem's 'PATH' environment variable. I'm thinking that won't fix the problem, however. The original error is that `C:\Perl\libConfig.pm' can't be found - which doesn't surprise (as it doesn't exist). It should be trying to find `C:\Perl\lib\Config.pm' (which *does*, presumably, exist) - and I think that error may still persist even when you switch to 'dmake'. If it does persist, can you find any cause for it ? Did you get the same problem with Inline-0.44 ? Does the same problem arise when you try to build other perl extensions (say, Math::FFT) ? Assuming that you're using ActiveState perl: I find some problems with Inline-0.44_01 on build 817 using MinGW and dmake (but not the one you reported). 'dmake' proceeds fine, but 'dmake test' throws up a number of warnings and error messages - full output below my sig. (Eric - I'm happy to take a closer look, if needed - just ask away.) On the same platform, Inline-0.44 builds and tests flawlessly for me - though you'll note that I avoid directories whose names contain spaces. Robert, when you post again could you include the output of 'perl -V' ? (And if, by chance, you are using ActiveState's build 816, please update to build 817 as there are a number of bugs in build 816.)
