I've been trying to install Perldl with activestate Perl. It seems
to require nmake, and I found a copy available from a microsoft site
it also requires a c compiler which I don't have, CC (which I'd have
expected to be a C++ compiler given the upper case as per Solaris,
but that's probably a Windows caseless filesytsem matter), and can't
find. So I've attempted to install DJGPP in the hope that that
would help, but CPAN won't pick up that version of make or gcc. I've
looked at the INSTALL file in the C:\perl\cpan\build\perldl-2.4.3
dir and examined the Makefile.pl and the perldl.conf, neither of
which seems to control what is used for make, although the Makefile
itself claims it will look for gcc.
I've looked on the Perldl website, and the Windows binary download
says it is for perl-5.6.0, and I have 5.8.8, but following the links
seems to end up at a source tarball anyway.
All this works fine under cygwin of course, but to use this from my
windows applications (non-cygwin) I'd like to get a build working.
Is there a recommended way to do this, or is this a fool's errand
for some reason?
Thank you,
Hugh
