Hi, I think this happens because gmake finds a file named sh.exe in the PATH - in your case it's in "C:/Program Files/AdoptOpenJDK/jdk-14.0.1.7-hotspot/bin/".
In the perl source, the GNUmakefile in the win32 directory avoids this problem by specifying: SHELL := cmd.exe Is that just a way of setting the SHELL environment variable from inside the makefile ? Does it help if you set the SHELL environment variable to "cmd.exe" before starting the build of Alien::wxWidgets : set SHELL=cmd.exe Cheers, Rob On Wed, Jun 3, 2020 at 11:57 PM Luigi Iotti <lu...@iotti.biz> wrote: > Hi all > > I'm new to Strawberry perl.
