in thread How to install pp, Wx module in 64 bit windows7 system

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,
Rob

    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.
