# the " -I./include" is *WRONG* - I don't know what to put in instead.
As a stopgap measure,
($^O eq 'VMS' ? " /Include=[.include]" : " -I./include")
ought to work (or something like it--I'm not a VMS guy). Of course, the
same problem probably occurs on Mac OS (and would occur on Win32 if it
wasn't clever enough to take / instead of \). The real way to do this
is probably with File::Spec or some similar tomfoolery--can someone
familiar with this module give me some guidance? (Note, however, that
someone who has been informed of this problem can manually fix it, by
putting the corrected command line in when the prompt comes up instead
of blindly hitting ENTER.)
You may not be aware, but on [EMAIL PROTECTED] they're discussing this
sort of thing--apparently mm[ks]'s (the make equivalents) Makefile
syntax is sufficiently different that it has to be done differently.
