Suggestions?
You need better environment vars and settings (vcvars32.bat).
That's what I'm using. The Visual Toolkit 2003 Command prompt is,
looking at the shortcut: %comspec% /k vcvars32.bat.
Recent
README.win32 from perl distro explain that,
Ah. yes, some detailed instructions there. Updated the parrot
README.win32 to at least mention that file, along with a note about
an apparent change in directory ('Microsoft Platform SDK' vs.
'Microsoft SDK') -- Once I fixed those directory issues, the
Configure test that blew up (above) started working.
and I saw good descriptions at
perlmonks site.
Ok. I had found nothing helpful at perlmonks about this, other than
"use vcvars", which I seem to be.
Also, start with compiling perl itself, so you'll be sure settings
are ok.
I hate to encourage folks hacking on parrot to have to build anything
else, too. (Especially given how long it took me to download and run
everything so far. =-)
I tried running with ActiveState Perl, and it all seems fine. one
small glitch in the Configure step, but parrot mostly built. After
quite a number of spontaneous reboots of the Virtual PC (eek!), I
ended up here:
