| Subject: | MakeMaker postamble breaks under nmake/Windows |
Module: Text-NSP-1.01
Perl 5.8.8
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 (Windows XP)
When installing under Windows using nmake 1.5, nmake dies on the '@echo'
statement in the postamble. Example:
---------------
c:\Perl\site\lib\Text\NSP\Text-NSP-1.01>nmake
nmake
Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility Version 1.50
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corp 1988-94. All rights reserved.
makefile(1199) : fatal error U1033: syntax error : '@echo' unexpected
Stop.
---------------
Workaround: if you change Makefile.pl so MY::postamble just returns an
empty string, it installs okay (but then of course you don't get the
helpful message it was designed to deliver). I've attached Makefile2.pl
which is how i got around it.
