in thread Compiling xs and c for Lingua::Stem::Snowball.
Actually, 'cl' is the MS C(++) compiler supplied with Microsoft Visual Studio. By default, if ActiveState Perl on Windows can't find a compiler in your path, this is what it assumes for 'perl -V:cc'. It seems to search your path in order for either 'cl' or 'gcc'. I have both MSVC++ and MinGW installed on Windows XP with ActiveState 5.10.1 (note: the 'which' command below is a Windows batch file found at Re: One Bizarre Perl Problem)
C:\> REM cl and gcc not in my path C:\> which cl 'cl' not found. C:\> which gcc 'gcc' not found. C:\> perl -V:cc cc='cl'; C:\> REM append gcc directory to path C:\> path %PATH%;c:\Dev-Cpp\bin C:\> which gcc c:\Dev-Cpp\bin\gcc.exe C:\> perl -V:cc Set up gcc environment - 3.4.2 (mingw-special) cc='c:/Dev-Cpp/bin/gcc.exe'; C:\> REM prepend cl directory to path C:\> path C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin;%PATH% C:\> which cl C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\bin\cl.exe C:\> perl -V:cc cc='cl';
For ActiveState, the best (easiest, cheapest) way to go is:
ppm install MinGW ppm install dmake
