Big THX to wog for the assist, but it's a no go. To help out, here's the Makefile.PL:

require 5.003;
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker 5.16;
use Config;

$Bzip2_INCLUDE = '-I/usr/include';
#$Bzip2_INCLUDE = '-I/usr/local/include';
#$Bzip2_INCLUDE = '-I/usr/local/include/bzip2';

$Bzip2_LIB     = '-L/usr/lib -L.';

WriteMakefile(
                NAME            => 'Compress::Bzip2',
        VERSION_FROM      => 'Bzip2.pm',
        LIBS         => [ "$Bzip2_LIB -lbz2" ],
              INC          => "$Bzip2_INCLUDE",
        'dist'         => {COMPRESS=>'bzip2', SUFFIX=>'bz2'},
         ) ;
[download]

The libbz2.dll is in c:\usr\lib, c:\incoming\compress-bzip2-1.00 ( the pwd ), and c:\winnt\system32. I've made several tweeks to the Makefile.PL, but all fail. Note that the headers, etc. are picked up fine ...

BTW, if I get this bad boy compiled, I will of course share w/ the community ...

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.
