Re: [Arsperl-users] Unable to Compile ARSPerl 1.90 on Windows 2000

[HEWITT, D. <DA...@SA...>]

Thanks, Thilo!  Running vcvars32.bat did the trick.

I also found a document - "A Practical Guide to Compiling C based
Modules under ActiveState using Microsoft C++" - out on =20
www.perlmonks.org by tachyon.  This echoed your suggestion and added
some additional info.

Basically, my problem was not with Perl.  My problem was not building
the C++ compiler environment.

Thanks again for the help.  Now on to creating a package (PPM).

To run the Visual C compiler from the command line, some system=20
variables need to be set, e.g INCLUDE, LIB, LIBPATH.

I don't know exactly what variables are needed, but somewhere in your=20
Visual Studio installation directory should be the "vcvars32.bat"=20
script, which can be executed before running Makefile.PL to set the=20
necessary variables.

Regards,
Thilo
