I finally got this working with the free Borland compiler. Basic steps:
- get dmake, set for Borland - Set makefile.mk in .\win32 dir to use Borland env - copy brcc32.exe to rc.exe in Borland .\Bin directory make -v make -v install ...Overall, a painful process for me.

Folks, I'm trying to compile the latest perl (5.8.5) for Win32. I'm having some issues with the proper steps to get this going, here is what I've done so far. - read: http://search.cpan.org/~nwclark/perl-5.8.5/README.win32#Make - Install MinGW with gcc (c:\WinGW) - Install msys, fstab file points to MinGW) - I've got the latest dmake.exe in my path What the heck do I do next? If I run 'dmake.exe -f makefile.mk test' from C:\temp\perl-5.8.5\win32 it bombs with: dmake.exe: >>>> Making [.\win32.h] dmake.exe: >>>> Making [.\config.h] dmake.exe: Updating [.\config.h], (1090246617 > 1089112560) del /f config.h dmake.exe: Error -- \bin\sh: No such file or directory If I run dmake.exe from the MINGW32 shell it says: $ dmake -f makefile.mk test del /f config.h dmake.exe: Error -- C:/msys/1.0/bin/sh: No such file or directory I do have /bin/sh at: C:\temp\perl-5.8.5\win32>ls -l c:/msys/1.0/bin/sh -rwxr-xr-x 1 2279 everyone 476672 Mar 16 2004 c:/msys/1.0/bin/sh Ben _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the MessageLabs Email Security System.
