What version of make is this? nmake? GNU make? Also, does this happen on other modules or just Win32::API?

I got this same error by calling: perl -MCPAN -e 'install Algorithm::Diff' The make test fails, so I went into the CPAN build directory and tried to manually do a make on it. This is version 1.1901 of Algorithm::Diff (though others fail for the same reason), version 6.17 of MakeMaker, and perl 5.8.3. $ make -v GNU Make 3.80 Copyright (C) 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc. Any help would be appreciated. -Michael On Fri Apr 02 12:25:31 2004, MSCHWERN wrote: Show quoted text

use ExtUtils::MakeMaker; # See lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm for details of how to influence # the contents of the Makefile that is written. WriteMakefile( 'NAME' => 'Algorithm::Diff', 'VERSION_FROM' => 'lib/Algorithm/Diff.pm', # finds $VERSION );

Sorry, forgot to add the Makefile that was generated.

Ah ha. MakeMaker generates non-gmake compatible Makefiles on Win32. Only nmake and dmake are supported. There are no plans to support GNU make on Win32. Sorry. dmake is available here: http://search.cpan.org/dist/dmake/
