dmake error on portable Strawberry

aplonis has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

So I'm trying to rebuild pp in Strawberry on my flash drive per this link.

But I'm trying to do it on a plug-in flash drive (G:) on a Win10 laptop which also has Perl in drive C:.

I get this result...

G:\Strawberry\cpan\build\PAR-Packer-1.047-0>dmake Makefile
dmake:  Error: -- Configuration file `C:\Strawberry\c\bin\startup\star
+tup.mk' not found

G:\Strawberry\cpan\build\PAR-Packer-1.047-0>
[download]

So next I try it instead like so and get...

G:\Strawberry\cpan\build\PAR-Packer-1.047-0>G:/Strawberry/c/bin/dmake 
+G:/Strawberry/cpan/build/PAR-Packer-1.047-0/Makefile
dmake:  makefile:  line 1106:  Warning: -- Empty recipe for special or
+ meta target .NOTPARALLEL

G:\Strawberry\cpan\build\PAR-Packer-1.047-0>

<p>The reason I'm needing to build PAR-Packer versus install it is so 
+as to have my own icon put into every exe it creates (as detailed in 
+the link). It had worked before, but then I was installing into regul
+ar Strawberry on the C: drive, whereas now I'm trying to do the same 
+on a flash drive instead. Before I had been doing on Win7 and this is
+ now Win10.</p>

So next I try it on the C: drive like regular and get this...

Looks good

And that doesn't work either. Hmmm. A clue I would seem to be lacking.
