I've been using ActiveState's PPM3 to install most of my modules, but I've
found it doesn't have many very useful modules. This was mostly forced,
since I could never get the CPAN module to actually build the modules. This
morning, I finally had enough, and decided to try and figure out exactly
what was wrong, and try to fix it.
Nomatter what I do, when running just a plain "make" after it runs
"MakeFile.PL," it gives me something like the following error, for any
module, any distribution:
Writing Makefile for [InsertModuleNameHere]
Makefile:[SomeLine]: *** missing separator. Stop.
[APathToMake]/make.exe -- NOT OK
I've tried using Cygwin, MSYS, UnixUtils, and MSVC++7's make.exe utilities.
With CygWin and MSYS, I tried both thier own shells, and the base windows
command line. The only one that does anything different is MSVC++7's, which
fails much earlier than the others, for reasons I'm not really sure of --
I'll assume because Microsoft wrote it. All the others give the same line
number and reason for the fail.
I'm not really sure if it's the CPAN module's fault or MakeMaker's, since
I've never really used either seperate from the other before.
Does anyone have any suggestions, or have any clues to what's wrong?
