mod_perl2 problem

Hi,

I am working on a Win32 system. To build mod_perl2 from source I
downloaded the latest stable release. I have already installed Apache
2.0.54. As per the mod_perl2 documentation, I gave this command:

C:\modperl_src> perl Makefile.PL MP_AP_PREFIX=\Path\to\Apache2

which resulted in numerous messages like:

Writing Makefile for mod_perl2
Note (probably harmless): No library found for oldnames.lib
Note (probably harmless): No library found for kernel32.lib
Note (probably harmless): No library found for user32.lib
Note (probably harmless): No library found for gdi32.lib
Note (probably harmless): No library found for winspool.lib

....and so on.

Is this okay? I am unable to execute the next step which calls "nmake",
since "nmake" is not generated. I think there is something very wrong
with what is happening. Please help!

Yes.

"nmake" is a Win32-make tool and you don't seem to have it
or it's not in your path. Do you have any development tools
(C compiler) installed?

Ah, I see.

The system I am working on has the .NET framework. But now that you
have pointed this out, let me check again.

Thank you, Robert.

Re: mod_perl2 problem

GREAT! I have just been able to build Mod_Perl2, right from the source-
on my WinXP box.

I did not know that I need to run all the commands of buiding mod_perl
(nmake and all) from the VC++ command prompt. Now that I did, the whole
long procedure went without hiccups though I had my heart missing a
beat more than a few times!

THANK YOU ROBERT AND KARL !
