Thanks for the reply. Rob You are right that it is not a inline-specific problem. When I install other modules from CPAN (like Math::FFT), it reported the missing of file sys/types.h.
Actually I tried to get these headers files by installing Microsoft SDKs. I installed a windows SDK which put the file windows.h in C:/program files/Microsoft SDK/windows/v7.0/include, and I installed the visual studio 2010 express kit, which put the file types.h in C:/program files/microsoft visual studio 9.0/VC/include/sys. So the problem is that compile couldn't find the files. How to set it up? I tried to run vcvars32.bat (from C:/program files/microsoft visual studio 9.0/VC/bin). It added the corresponding /bin folder in PATH,which fixed the an earlier error that "cl.exe"/"nmake.exe" couldn't be found. But the problem of missing header files persisted. How to make the compiler to recognize the header file paths?

You're missing 'windows.h'. With later Microsoft Compilers, I think this file is included in the SDK which, I think, might be an additional download that you have to do if you're using a freely available version of MSVC++. I'm not really up to speed with Microsoft Compilers - all I know is that, with my MSVC++ 7.0, 'windows.h' is in the Vc7\PlatformSDK\Include folder. Search your entire Visual Studio for the file 'windows.h' - if it's not there then you certainly need to download the SDK for that particular compiler. You should also strike a similar error whenever you currently build *any* perl extension - eg try Math::FFT from CPAN. That is, it's not only Inline::C that suffers from this missing file. Cheers, Rob
