[Openinteract-help] install OI on Win2K - ActiveState

[oiser <oi...@ir...>]

Is there a ppm for OI. I am trying to install on a Win2K laptop for
use as a development environment. I don't have a compiler (I have
cygwin, but make never works). I am a little confused by the INSTALL
file. It says:

        (1) Run the normal perl install

        perl Makefile.PL
        make
        make test (no tests yet...)
        make install

Which of course I can't do. Then further down it says:

        OpenInteract uses a number of libraries, and all of them are
        readily available via CPAN. For those on Win32 systems without
        a compiler, most of them are also available via the PPM
        installation system. Some modules requiring compilation are
        not available via PPM and are available at:

        http://openinteract.sourceforge.net/

But there is no ppm available for OI itsself. Why would they provide
ppm's for people without a compiler, but still expect them to be able
to compile OI?

Am I missing something? Thanks in advance for any help.
