Hi Roderich, I installed dmake and MinGW. Then I ran perl makefile.pl with no errors
When I typed dmake It says error code 129 while making main.o And error code 258 while making subdirs A window promps out cc1.exe the application wasn’t able to start correctly. Any ideas?

Do I need to install dmake or msys2 for “make” in addition?

Actually, you don't specifically need Mingw - you need a C or C++ compiler to build PAR::Packer. Usually that's either MIngw or Microsoft Visual Whatever. For MIngw, I'd try https://mingw-w64.org/ - you'll want the Win-builds (packages binutils, gcc and make should be sufficient). You probably have reasons to use ActiveState Perl, but there are alternatives like Strawberry Perl (http://strawberryperl.com/) that come with Mingw preinstalled. Cheers, Roderich
