I know this should be an easily-answered question, but I couldn't find the answer in the ExtUtils::MakeMaker manual page or in ExtUtils::MakeMaker::FAQ.
When MakeMaker runs on Windows, what make program does it have it mind when writing the makefile? Microsoft's nmake?
Yup.
Should GNU make work?
I have no idea. ;-)
Does it depend on what options perl was built with, and is there any way to find out what MakeMaker is thinking?
Yup, you can run "perl -V:make" at the command line, which pulls info out of Config.pm:
% perl -V:make make='make';
(this is on an OS X system, not Win32.)
