Windows Perl Disribution Install Problem, versions 8.85 and 8.86

[krdavies]

Hello

I have been running exiftool both as an executable, and as part of the Perl distribution for several years with no problem. However, when I run nmake on versions 8.85 and 8.86, these messages are produced:

nmake

Microsoft (R) Program Maintenance Utility   Version 1.50
Copyright (c) Microsoft Corp 1988-94. All rights reserved.

syntax error at -e line 1, near "'755')
"
Missing right curly or square bracket at -e line 1, at end of line
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe' : return code '0xff'
Stop.

I have tried following the uninstall procedures, but without success.

The operating system is Windows XP Professional, using Activeperl.

Hi Keith,

This is odd.  I have run nmake on these versions under Windows XP/ActivePerl 5.8.7 with no problems.  From inside the exiftool distribution, did you do this?:

perl Makefile.PL
nmake

Hi

Yes. Here's the complete run:

D:\Usr\Keith Davies\Desktop\Image-ExifTool-8.86.tar\Image-ExifTool-8.86\Image-ExifTool-8.86>perl Makefile.PL
Set up gcc environment - 3.4.5 (mingw-vista special r3)
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good

I'm using ActivePerl 5.12.3

Coincidentally, I just happen to have an XP SP3 machine with ActivePerl 5.12.3 handy, but I don't have mingw installed (which shouldn't matter).  However, I get a different result:

It looks like you don't have a C compiler on your PATH, so you will not be
able to compile C or XS extension modules.  You can install GCC from the
MinGW package using the Perl Package Manager by running:

    ppm install MinGW

By the way, just in case you didn't know this:  You don't need to make exiftool to install it because it is pure Perl so nothing needs to be compiled.  The only function of the Makefile is to copy the files into the proper locations, and to run the standard test suite.

Hi Phil

It looks like I should now be using dmake instead of nmake, and that works fine. This led me there
http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=850043.

I don't know whether this was the result of one of the Perl upgrades?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Keith,

Thanks for the update.  I'll add a note about this in the README.
