Three things that would make the task easier:

1) Post the link to the actual source tarball that you downloaded. This will enable me (or anyone else who is interested) to ensure that we have the same source;

2) Post, on your public scratchpad the contents of the win32/Makefile (after you've edited it). This allows us to see for ourselves that it looks sane;

3) Post a larger slice (or the entire lot) of the 'nmake test' output (again, on your public scratchpad). I'd like a better idea of precisely when this failure occurs ... and I'd also like to be sure there's nothing relevant in the lead up to the error.
The error is occurring before *any* tests are run ... right ?

Hopefully then we can work out what's going wrong.

With what do you unpack the source ? If it's a GUI app (such as Winzip) try to make sure that it's unpacking the source in "binary" (not "text" or "smart" or somesuch) mode.

Cheers,
Rob

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
