You're using gcc-3.4.5, so there should be no need to install the STD_IOSTREAM patch. One thing I would recommend is that you use 'dmake' (available from CPAN or, I think, as 'ppm install dmake'). That will at least remove that crappy old version of nmake you're using from the mix of things that could cause problems, though I doubt it's the problem here.

With 'dmake' installed, check that perl -V:make reports 'dmake'. (You may need to remove 'nmake.exe' from your path for that to happen.)

Then, in a freshly unpacked Inline-CPP-0.25 source folder, run 'perl Makefile.PL', accepting the prompts to use 'g++' and '-lstdc++'. Then run 'dmake test' and it should work ok.

It's not a good idea to have mingw in the msys tree .... I think that can cause problems with msys, though it shouldn't be a problem here. The simplest way to get both 'dmake' and 'mingw' for ActivePerl is to run 'ppm install MinGW' - doesn't require any path alterations or other fiddling about.

Let us know what, if any, errors arise - also the version of Parse::RecDescent that you installed.

Cheers,
Rob

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
