Actually, I am not trying to compile at all. I am in the normal windows command prompt.
I believe the directions to install are . Download the PAR.tar.gz file to some temp directory . Unzip and untar the PAR.tar.gz file . Download the prebuilt binary, in this case PAR-0.85-MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.8.4.par into the same directory as the Makefile.PL file. . unzip the prebuilt binary . perl Makefile.PL . nmake . nmake test . nmake install It was my understanding that nmake would not try to recompile from scratch if the prebuilt binary was present. Is there something wrong with my directions? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Leigh Hebblethwaite" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, July 05, 2004 11:15 AM Subject: RE: Trouble installing PAR 0.85 on Windows XP > Have you run the vcvars32.bat script?
