I try secondly to compile it from source files.
Yes, that's probably the best way to get the job done in this instance.
I use nmake.exe. It display this :
Attached is the makefile generated Makefile.PL
However, you need to use 'dmake' - it comes with Strawberry Perl, it's what
Strawberry Perl expects to use, and it's already in your path.
The Makefile that you attached is written for 'dmake' - nmake needs a
different syntax, and the errors you see are the syntax errors one expects
to see when 'nmake' is run on a Makefile built for 'dmake'.
Before building, I needed to have the python executable in my path and, in
the Makefile.PL, I needed to change:
$p .= "/python";
to
$p .= "/python.exe";
Even then I couldn't get past the 'perl Makefile.PL' stage because the
Makefile.PL couldn't get the information it wanted from my python.exe
(version 3.1.2).
I didn't persevere as I'm not personally interested in python and know
nothing about it. (It's on my PC only because it was needed to build a
library at some stage.)
So ... continue to try a manual build - just use 'dmake' instead of 'nmake',
and let us know how you get on.
Cheers,
