Hi all,

I am running Rakudo 2016-1 on Windows7 (64b)

I tried "panda install Linenoise" and get the following result:

===

==> Linenoise depends on Native::Resources
==> Native::Resources depends on LibraryMake
==> Fetching LibraryMake

'nmake' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

From this I deduce that panda wants me to have nmake.exe available. Microsoft seems to have chosen to offer it only to those who succumb to Windows10, which I managed
to avoid so far.
Skipping the testing does not help, but gives a similar message on building Linenoise.

Any suggestions?

thanks,
