Hi,
I have recently installed Spidermonkey and now want to add javascript.pm. My
goal is to interpret javascript code from within my perl scripts. I am a
beginner to compiling c and am not succesful with the installation
procedure. I have a number of questions:
I use win3s/win2k server and activestate perl.
1. I have managed to compile (using MSVC6.0) spidermonkey. The result was a
.dll and a .exe file. What do I do with them? Shall they be put in a
directory under c:/perl?
2. I am not at all successful compliling javascript.pm. I try to follow the
sparse installation info in the readme file. When doing 'perl makefile.pl' a
makefile is created but there are a number of warnings saying that several
.lib files can not be found. From what I understand my perl does not know
the path to the c-files. (Also in step 3 below a lot of include files (*.h)
can not be found.) How can I tell perl the path to c generally?
3. Having updated a number of paths to include files, I run the next
installation instruction, simply 'nmake'. I get the following result:
cl -c -nologo -O1 -MD -DNDEBUG -DWIN32 -D_CONSOLE -DNO_STRICT
-DHAVE_DES_FCRYPT -DPERL_IMPLICIT_CONTEXT -DPERL_IMPLICIT_SYS
-DPERL_MSVCRT_READFIX -O1 -MD -DNDEBUG -DVER
SION=\"0.52\" -DXS_VERSION=\"0.52\" -IC:\Perl\lib\CORE -DXP_PC

Stop.
Really it gives me no clue to how to proceed. Is MSVC6.0 no good for doing
this? I was hoping the installation of javascript.pm would be a little
simpler.
ANY help will be much appreciated.
Erik
