In the past 24 hours I installed Perl 5.8.7.813 and the newest free
Microsoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003 compiler. The Toolkit 2003 worked
after I went into Config.pm and did
# cc => 'cl',
"c:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual C++ Toolkit 2003Binwin64cl.exe"
This also worked (from the toolkit command prompt):
perl Makefile.PL
nmake
nmake test
nmake install
I am using Windows XP Pro. I was expecting a file called
PAR-0.89-MSWin32-x86-multi-thread-5.8.7.par
to be automatically produced somewhere. I was going to volunteer it for
anyone else needing it. The find command could not find it. Obviously I
don't quite know what I am doing. No one else seems to have asked for
it so this is not a high priority item, but if someone could shine some
light on this that would be nice.
Thanks
The back slashes do not seem to be appearing in the line above for
cc => "c:\\Program\ Files\\Microsoft\ Visual\ C++\ Toolkit
2003\\Bin\\win64\\cl.exe"
Don't know how that happened but the usual back slashes are to be double
slashed, and the spaces are to be single slashed.
