Inline::Java install on Windows (nmake problem)

Lion-Tiger has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I want to install Inline::Java, to embed perl code in java projects.
So I downloaded it and tried to install:

>perl makefile.pl J2SDK="c:\Java\jdk1.6.0_26"

Welcome to the Inline::Java installation procedure.

Default J2SDK for Inline::Java will be 'c:\Java\jdk1.6.0_26'.
See module documentation for information on how to use a different J2S
+DK
or change this default value.

Warning: prerequisite Inline 0.44 not found.

Inline::Java can use a JNI extension that allows the Java Virtual Mach
+ine
(JVM) to be dynamically linked with Perl instead of running as a separ
+ate
process. The use of this extension is optional, and building it still
allows Inline::Java to run the JVM in the default (separate process)
fashion.
Note: You need a C compiler to build the extension.
Do you wish to build the JNI extension? [y] y

Building JNI extension.

Building with:
  C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_26\include\jni.h
  C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_26\include\win32\jni_md.h
  C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_26\lib\jvm.lib
  C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_26\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll

Note: In order for Inline::Java to use the JNI extension, you will nee
+d to
use the JNI configuration option or set the PERL_INLINE_JAVA_JNI envir
+onment
variable to a true value. You will also need to add the following dire
+ctories
to your PATH environment variable:
  C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_26\jre\bin
  C:\Java\jdk1.6.0_26\jre\bin\server
See README.JNI for more information.

The PerlInterpreter extension allows Inline::Java to be loaded directl
+y from
Java using an embedded Perl interpreter. It is still EXPERIMENTAL and
may not build or work properly on all platforms. See documentation for
more details.

Inline::Java installed, thanks to ALL! =)

Used dmake instead of nmake ;)

"Of course I tried to install it, but with cpan it can't be installed:" Silly me, for assuming that since you the details you posted included the message "Warning: prerequisite Inline 0.44 not found." and no mention of an attempt to install the module that this was a worth while suggestion. We are not mind readers, consider reading How do I post a question effectively?. Strawberry Perl uses dmake, not nmake. When planning on installing modules please read and understand the documentation, including the README file, which in this case mentions the ppm installation route also.	[reply]

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.	[reply]
Re: Inline::Java install on Windows (nmake problem) by MVS (Monk) on Nov 18, 2011 at 02:54 UTC
It sounds like the Makefile is being created using dmake syntax, and nmake is having trouble parsing it. Try using dmake instead.	[reply]

dmake didn't help ==================== My mistake, it helped - got some troubles with path variable, so it took the wrong dmake..... Inline::Java installed, thanks to ALL! =)	[reply]
