Hi all.

I cannot install any CPAN libraries because CPAN complains that I don't =
have a 64 bit Make executible. I have installed the Express 2010 C++ =
package from Microsoft. It didn't help.

I couldn't find anything on the web that clearly indicated what was =
required to resolve this issue. Any help is greatly welcomed.

I've heard that Strawberry Perl comes with everything that you need
for installing CPAN modules in Windows. :) As a test, I just tried
installing HTTP::Daemon::SSL with Strawberry Perl and it seems to have
worked. :) Is it an option to install Strawberry Perl instead of
whatever other distribution you're using?

Subject: Windows 7 64 bit Make.exe file


Hi all.

I cannot install any CPAN libraries because CPAN complains that I don't have
a 64 bit Make executible. I have installed the Express 2010 C++ package from
Microsoft. It didn't help.

=========================================

If you have ActivePerl, CPAN will be wanting to find nmake.exe - and I would
think nmake.exe would be part of the compiler package you installed.

Having installed that compiler, you then usually need to run a batch file
(from the command line) prior to using it. That batch file (which ships with
the compiler) will alter the environment so that things like nmake.exe,
cl.exe and the various libraries and headers *do* get found.
Only thing is, I don't know exactly what the batch file is called - maybe
vcvarsall.bat or vcvars64.bat or vsvars64.bat or something like that ... See
if you can find it and give it a try.

The ideal MS compiler to use with x64 ActivePerl builds is the "Microsoft
Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2", as that's the compiler used to
build x64 ActivePerl. It's still freely available for download from
Microsoft, but a bit tricky to get hold of - if you're not careful the
"Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2" download links that you
follow morph into links that give you an updated version of that compiler.
(But it can be done if you find the right links.)

For x64 Windows perl builds especially, Strawberry Perl is a simpler
proposition when it comes to installing modules using CPAN. (It uses the
dmake make utility, and the mingw-w64.sf port of the gcc compiler.)

Cheers,
Rob

Hi guys,

thanks. I have removed Active PERL and now are using strawberry to do my
work. No problems with Strawberry and I can get rid of the MS C++ Express
2010 compiler.

Could you please tell me about this Strawberry ?

Thanks
