I want to install the podcast aggregator modules MP3:odcastFetch

I have ActiveState Perl 5.10, and I would like to use some CPAN
modules that are not (yet) supported via PPM.

I've fiddled with things for a while and have arrived at what seems to
be an impasse. I got a compatible version of nmake from MS, and I have
Visual Studio 6 and 8 installed on this machine. But for some reason,
I can't get the compiles to run properly.


Using vcvars32.at from VS6, I get this compilerok.log file:

Command line warning D4002 : ignoring unknown option '-nodefaultlib'
Command line warning D4002 : ignoring unknown option '-debug'
Command line warning D4002 : ignoring unknown option
'-libpath\:"C\:\\Perl\\lib\\CORE"'
Command line warning D4002 : ignoring unknown option '-machine\86'
compilerok.c
LINK : LNK4073: cannot create map for .ILK file; linking
nonincrementally
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file "pt\:ref\,icf.exe"

Using vcvarsall.bat from VS8, I get this compilerok.log file:

cl : Command line warning D9035 : option 'o' has been deprecated and
will be removed in a future release
cl : Command line warning D9002 : ignoring unknown option
'-nodefaultlib'
cl : Command line warning D9002 : ignoring unknown option '-debug'
cl : Command line warning D9002 : ignoring unknown option
'-libpath\:"C\:\\Perl\\lib\\CORE"'
cl : Command line warning D9002 : ignoring unknown option
'-machine\86'
compilerok.c
LINK : cannot create map for .ILK file; linking nonincrementally
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file 'pt\:ref\,icf.exe'

Any pointers?

Thx

The OP said:

"I have ActiveState Perl 5.10"

"I got a compatible version of nmake from MS"

"I have Visual Studio 6 and 8 installed on this machine"

"Using vcvars32.at from VS6"

"-libpath\:"C\:\\Perl\\lib\\CORE""

"Using vcvarsall.bat from VS8"

So, these very likely are an answer that they are on a Windows system,
for future reference.

Are you able to compile/build other modules okay? It is interesting to
note that it's showing it can't open 'pt\:ref\,icf.exe'. That should
be '\opt\:ref\,icf.exe' (opt, rather than pt). Can you remove those
switches from the CL (CL.EXE) command line, maybe to LINK(.EXE)?
Sorry, I've not used Windows for over a decade now, so my suggestion
might not help.

It certainly would seem so. Rightly or not, I associate perl folks more
with the linux crowd.

When I started in with activestate, figuring out the modules was a huge
part of it. One difficulty is that the names aren't specified uniquely and
unambigously. Many times, you have to use cpan to figure out exactly which
module you are looking for.

When you find the right one, it has to go in a certain folder in your
activestate install, the name of which corresponds somewhat to the module
name. I think it's in the lib subfolder of the site folder.

I'm obviously rusty with this information, but I hope my recollections
help.

Cheers,
