I am trying to install all the modules required by a Catalyst-based application I made, using `dmake installdeps` and there are a little more than 40 modules required in Makefile.PL. Until now I used nmake with Visual Studio 6, but now I have a new computer and I've seen that cpan installed MinGW when I tried to use it and there was no nmake in the path. I thought Visual Studio should use nmake and MinGW should use dmake. Can I use MinGW with nmake by just replacing dmake with nmake? Thanks.
