Can someone help with what is probably a trivial build problem? I am trying to use dmake and the Borland free commandline compiler (5.5) with perl 5.6.1 source on a win2K box, but dmake appears to exit (very) prematurely, perhaps without seeing the compiler. With makefile.mk settings recommended by readme.win32 file, calling dmake from win32 directory produces the following output: del /f config.h dmake.exe: Error -- SHELL macro not defined If I uncomment the makefile.mk line to set the SHELL to cmd.exe (which I was using to begin with), dmake exits with "del /f config.h", but fails to build anything. The Borland compiler runs their testscript fine, and I think both the cc path on the OS and the corresponding makefile.mk line are set appropriately, i.e. output from "set" includes: Path=C:\Borland\Bcc55\bin; and the corresponding lines in makefile.mk are: # uncomment exactly one of the following # # Visual C++ 2.x #CCTYPE *= MSVC20 # Visual C++ > 2.x and < 5.x SP3 #CCTYPE *= MSVC_PRE_50SP3 # Visual C++ >= 5.x SP3 #CCTYPE *= MSVC60 # Borland 5.02 or later CCTYPE *= BORLAND # mingw32+gcc-2.95.2 or better #CCTYPE *= GCC Note: if I run "dmake -v" (with SHELL set to /../cmd.exe), dmake successfully opens and closes the startup.mk and the makefile.mk file, then "processes" (with about 30 lines of 'inferring... and >>>>Making... statements) up to and including the statement "Updating [.\config.h]" then dmake exits with "del /f config.h". Any advice greatly appreciated.
