Hi all I'm new to Strawberry perl. I just installed 5.30.2.1 on a Win10 pc.
Long story short: in the CPAN shell, how may I add some arguments to gmake command line? I tried o conf make_arg, make_install_arg, makepl_arg, mbuildpl_arg but they seem not to work, at least in my case. Long story long: I'm trying to build Alien::wxWidgets as it is a requirement for wx. But the build fails with: ... if not exist gcc_mswudll mkdir gcc_mswudll process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, C:/Program Files/AdoptOpenJDK/jdk-14.0.1.7-hotspot/bin/ -c "if not exist gcc_mswudll mkdir gcc_mswudll", ...) failed. make (e=2): Impossibile trovare il file specificato. #(this means unable to find the specified file, in Italian) gmake: [makefile.gcc:5089: gcc_mswudll] Error 2 (ignored) if not exist ..\..\lib\gcc_dll mkdir ..\..\lib\gcc_dll process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, C:/Program Files/AdoptOpenJDK/jdk-14.0.1.7-hotspot/bin/ -c "if not exist ..\..\lib\gcc_dll mkdir ..\..\lib\gcc_dll", ...) failed. make (e=2): Impossibile trovare il file specificato. #(this means unable to find the specified file, in Italian) gmake: *** [makefile.gcc:5639: ..\..\lib\gcc_dll] Error 2 system: gmake -f makefile.gcc all UNICODE=1 MSLU=0 BUILD=release SHARED=1 DEBUG_INFO=default DEBUG_FLAG=1 LDFLAGS=" -m64" CPPFLAGS="-m64": 512 at inc/My/Build/Win32.pm line 284. I found that " C:/Program Files/AdoptOpenJDK/jdk-14.0.1.7-hotspot/bin/" is the first component of my PATH, and it seems to come from gmake's find_and_set_shell. If I run the gmake command alone, with -d, it calls find_and_set_shell twice. The first time it finds a gnu shell I have somewhere in my PATH, the second time it finds the first directory in PATH, not an executable: >gmake -f makefile.gcc all UNICODE=1 MSLU=0 BUILD=release SHARED=1 DEBUG_INFO=default DEBUG_FLAG=1 LDFLAGS=" -m64" CPPFLAGS="-m64" -d GNU Make 4.2.1 Built for x86_64-w64-mingw32 Copyright (C) 1988-2016 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Updating makefiles... But if I add SHELL=cmd.exe on the gmake command line, it works. The working command line is gmake -f makefile.gcc all UNICODE=1 MSLU=0 BUILD=release SHARED=1 DEBUG_INFO=default DEBUG_FLAG=1 LDFLAGS=" -m64" CPPFLAGS="-m64" SHELL=CMD.exe Hence my question about setting SHELL= from the CPAN shell. Other solutions are welcome. Thank you, regards Luigi
