in thread New PDL problem on Windows XP SP2

Looks to me that our outputs are basically similar until we get to:

cp LUT.pm ..\..\blib\lib\PDL\Graphics\LUT.pm

At that point you get some error message (the likes of which I've not seen before) whereas I simply get:

nmake -f Makefile all -nologo

Could you provide the output of 'perl -V' and tell us which compiler you're using. I hope you aren't using that free command line version of Visual Studio 7 that Microsoft have made available ... or that if you are using that compiler, then you have built your perl using that compiler. I'm not sure that I'm all that keen about troubleshooting the building of PDL with that compiler unless perl itself has been built with that compiler .... but I'll reserve judgement on that, for the moment :-)

Also, take a look at the PDL win32/INSTALL file. Is there anything there that you find to be an acceptable (alternative) way of building PDL (as opposed to the way you're currently trying to build it) ?

Cheers,
Rob

    Sorry - when I go back and look at your original post, it seems you are using that free compiler. (I would still like to see 'perl -V', however.) Could the problem be with nmake v1.50 ? I think there should be a more recent version of nmake that came with one of the other packages that you downloaded. If so maybe give it a try instead.

      Hi Rob,

      Thanks a million.
      You gave the sollution!
      The nmake version (1.5) was not good.
      I verified and noticed that Microsoft Platform SDK also had an nmake. When I used this one, it worked :-)
      I did had to turn off slatec, but that's fine for me.
      The new PDL version compiles ok with windows XP SP2 if you use the free tools.

      Thanks,

      Jonathan

      In case you still need it: the perl -V gave me:
