You don't have the C compiler (cl => Microsoft's Visual C++ Toolkit). [snip] You have 2 choices: get a pre-built version or install a complete development environment. I can tell you that if you have Cygwin, with compiler and perl installed, it is easy to build SA: just enter cpan shell and use the command "install Mail::SpamAssassin", that's it. Another advantage of Cygwin's environment is that you can really use the spamd server if you want (and spamc needs a server to do its work). -- René Berber
