Hello
I'm tying to install the tk module on my NT4/perl 5.6.1 installation, as
a pre-requesite to using ptkdb as a visual debugger. I can't use PPM as
it can't get through our firewall, so I downloaded Tk800.023.tar.gz, and
unpacked it.
Then I ran "perl Makefile.pl", which created a makefile as expected. To
make it, I have MSVC 6.0 professional edition installed so used nmake
next. However, when I run "nmake" it gets so far and falls over
complaining it can't find some standard headers files;
nmake

NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cl.exe' : return code '0x2'
Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cd' : return code '0x2'
Stop.
I can find stddef.h in "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual
Studio\VC98\Include" and if I manually run the "cl.exe -c -I..
-I../pTk/mTk/xlib -I. -Ibitmaps -I../pTk/mTk/xlib ...." line again with
an extra -I pointing to this location it gets past ClientWin.c, but
fails on the next target. Obviously I'd rather not have to do this for
every target!
I can't see anywhere particularly obvious to put the extra include path
in either makefile.pl or makefile.
My question is - where does Makefile.pl pick up include paths from when
it generated the makefile that nmake uses, and can I add "C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Include" to a config file somewhere
so it gets included in the makefile? Or is there anything in my
environment I can set?
Many thanks
Reg Smith
