Yes, it can. The problem is that the old nmake15.exe is a 16 bit program, and those are no longer supported by 64 bit Windows. The nmake.exe from VC6 is a 32 bit program, but it cannot be freely downloaded. Of course you can get free 32 bit and 64 bit versions of nmake when you install the Windows SDK, but it is *huge* (my installation of the Windows SDK is about 1.3GB). I'm sure you can then just copy the nmake.exe out to your own directory and uninstall the SDK, but this sounds like an extreme measure (and big download). dmake.exe from CPAN should work just fine with ActivePerl though, and should also work on 64 bit Windows. Let me know if it doesn't. Cheers, -Jan _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
