Monks,

As part of a project at work I need to utilize PDL::Opt::Simplex to do a little optimization. Being on a windows box, not all the modules I would desire are available via PPM. PDL-2.4.2 appears to be that way. So in order to get the functionality I need I went about learning how to install/compile modules that include c++. I read all the relevant tutorials and SoPW via super search. I was able to make progress so that there was less complaining by Makefile.pm and nmake. Nmake still dies and throws the error below:

C:\PDL-2.4.2>nmake

I was wondering if this error was still a complier setup problem or a problem that runs deeper with the PDL setup. Obviously I could be doing something wrong that is very apparent, but I don’t see it. I would like to learn how to compile modules on windows but I’m really looking for a solution that will get Opt::Simplex working. Thank you all in advance for your wise answers.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

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.


No such thing as a small change
