Re^3: How to install pp, Wx module in 64 bit windows7 system

[syphilis]

I think the last time I tried, dmake can run a nmake syntax makefile

That doesn't work for me - in relation to building perl modules, at least. I get the error:

dmake:  Error: -- `c:\_32\perl_vc7\5.10.0\libConfig.pm' not found, and
+ can't be made

ExtUtils/MM_Win32.pm caters for this difference with:

sub init_DIRFILESEP {
    my($self) = shift;

    # The ^ makes sure its not interpreted as an escape in nmake
    $self->{DIRFILESEP} = $self->is_make_type('nmake') ? '^\\' :
                          $self->is_make_type('dmake') ? '\\\\'
                                                       : '\\';
}

Cheers,

I often do a dmake clean by accident on a nmake makefile. It works without any fatal errors. I've never tried a dmake install on a nmake makefile.
