in thread Inline::Java install on Windows (nmake problem)

Hi, To solve the below error:

"syntax error at -e line 1, next char ) Missing right curly or square bracket at -e line 1, at end of line Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors. NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe' : return +code '0xff"

Nmake to be executed successfully, needs an another supporting file cl.exe which is found in the bin or lib folder of the Visual C++ installation, please set the path of bin path or lib path in the environment variables. Make sure that Nmake.exe and cl.exe is at the same folder and this path has to set in the environment variable PATH.
