Hi, As far as I can tell, Octavian's output suggests that the first compiler found on the path is 'cl'. There's nothing to suggest that gcc is installed. The problem is that Padre's Makefile.PL loads Alien::wxWidgets. Alien::wxWidgets tells you it can't find a compiler compatible installation any of the configurations it has found. This info is irrelevant for Padre.
The fix for Padre is to check Wx for the wxWidgets version, if that is what's required, not check Alien::wxWidgets for the first compiler compatible configuration (which is probably the version of wxWidgets used to build the Wx you will load, but not absolutely). e.g. Makefile.PL should do: use Wx; my $widgetsversion = Wx::wxVERSION(); For Octavian, you could wait for ppm's to be available which should be within a couple of days. The only delay is waiting for the ActivePerl ppm build process to catch up building a couple of dependencies. In the future, if the Padre Makefile.PL is amended not to load Alien-wxWidgets, you should not have this problem. Hope this helps.
