Hi Rob - Thanks so much for your prompt reply. I did make a point of creating an '_Inline_test' directory in C:\temp\Inline-0.46_01, but it didn't seem to help. For example, when the first failure occurred (with 01syntax.t), I got the message:
Can't load
'C:\temp\Inline-0.46_01\C\_Inline_test\lib/auto/_01syntax_t_6b3a/_01s
yntax_t_6b3a.dll' for module _01syntax_t_6b3a: load_file:The specified
module co
uld not be found at C:/Perl64/lib/DynaLoader.pm line 226.
at ..\blib\lib/Inline.pm line 534
and I found that the subdirectory _01syntax_t_6b3a did not exist under
C:\temp\Inline-0.46_01\C\_Inline_test\lib\auto.
Your two suggestions focusing on the compiler sound very promising.
Accordingly, I will try to use my environment to build something like
Math::FFT and take a look at the errors. Thank you also for making me
aware of the "Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2" compiler.
I will pursue that if something obvious doesn't pop out of the Math::FFT
build.
Gratefully,
Jody Hart

Is there an '_Inline_test' directory in C:\temp\Inline-0.46_01 ?
If not, create that directory before running 'perl -Mblib C/t/01syntax.t'.

Yes, if you want to run that script outside of Test::Harness I think you
need to run it as:
perl -Mblib -T C/t/08taint.t

I have the 64-bit build of ActivePerl 5.8.9 (build 827) and it doesn't give
me any trouble when it comes to building Inline-0.46_01.
I am, however, using a different MS compiler to the one that you're using. I
have "Microsoft Platform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2" - which is the
compiler that built ActivePerl (and therefore, in the view of many, the
ideal compiler to use with the 64-bit builds of ActivePerl).
It's still freely available if you want to give it a try - you just have to
be careful that you are, in fact, downloading it, and not some updated
alternative. For some reason the pea-brains at Microsoft have decided that
just because you've clicked on a link that says "Microsoft Platform SDK for
Windows Server 2003 R2", it doesn't really mean that's what you want (or
that's what they're gunna give yer) ... so be wary (but it *is* still
possible to get that precise compiler).
That said, I'm thinking (but am by no means certain) that you should also be
able to use the compiler that you already have. Does that compiler build
perl extensions for you ok with the x64 ActivePerl 5.8.9 ?
Can you, for example, build Math::FFT from CPAN ? If not, what errors do you
get. (It's often easier to diagnose errors one gets from trying to build a
perl extension than from trying to build Inline::C.)
Cheers,
Rob
