At least 'cl.exe' can be found - but there's a lot more to getting VC6 to perform correctly than simply finding cl.exe (as you have found below). > But now new error has come like > C:\Perl\lib\Inline>nmake You don't really want to build modules inside your perl installation. (I assume that C:\Perl\lib is part of your perl installation. If that's not so then you can ignore that remark.) If you run 'vcvars32.bat' from the command line, you'll be able to build your perl modues in whatever folder you choose - assuming that the perl executable is also in your path. (If it's not, then add it to the path.) I created a separate folder where I build *all* perl modules. . . > C:\Perl\lib\CORE\perl.h(420) : fatal error C1083: Cannot open include > file: 'sys/types.h': No such file or directory It can't find 'sys/types.h' because it doesn't know where it's located. If you first run 'vcvars32.bat' from the command line, it will be able to find 'sys/types.h' - along with all other includes and libraries and executables. The 'vcvars32.bat' is found in the same place as 'cl.exe'. On my machine, that's D:\VC98\bin, so I run 'vcvars32.bat' by simply entering: C:\WINNT\system32>D:\vc98\bin\vcvars32.bat Setting environment for using Microsoft Visual C++ tools. C:\WINNT\system32> Everything is then in place to enable compilation (from whatever folder I 'cd' to ). Alternatively, I can create another batch file called (for example) 'my_vc.bat' and place it somewhere in my path. It would contain the single line: "D:\VC98\bin\vcvars32.bat" (The double quotes are not necessary if there are no spaces in the path to vcvars32.bat.) Then I can run vcvars32.bat by simply entering (at the command prompt): my_vc That way I get to run vcvars32.bat without having to remember where it is located. Cheers, Rob
