( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
I've recently made two related posts Installing modules on Win32 and Thanks - Win32 module help. Although I haven't been using Win2k (I've been using Win98) I can probably give you some help.

From what I remember, that error is the same error that WinNT uses for "bad command or filename". I can only assume that cygwin hasn't been installed properly (is it in your path?) Personally I didn't have much luck with cygwin so I can't comment on that. Were you running nmake from it?

Perl's MakeMaker.pm module generates makefiles in the syntax for whatever version of make perl -V:make tells you (see linked nodes for more info), so it is not surprising that the makefile works with one 'make' and not the other.

It's not surprising that asim couldn't find nmake, I found I really difficult to find which is why I made a point of linking to it from the above nodes.

I couldn't get PPM working, so I just jacked in ActiveState (after all, their install broke my Windows installation -- but is mostly poor Windows design). I shifted over to a IndigoPerl and I've been far happier with it and the DPM prog provided (binary compatible with PPM repositories).

Hope this helps.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
