Subject: Sybperl makefile for NT contains errors
Date: Nov 12 1997 5:28PM

I seems to have problems to create a makefile for installing Sybperl on
my NT. Can somebody help please?

I installed Perl 5.004 from
http://www.perl.com/CPAN/ports/win32/Gurusamy_Sarathy/perl5.004xx-bindis
t, and VC++ v5.0.
Then, I tried to compile sybperl 2.08.51 on a NT. I first ran "pl
makefile.pl" to generate a makefile (attached at the end). It  generated
the following seemingly harmless messages:

C:\Sybperl>perl makefile.pl
Writing Makefile for Sybase::BCP
Note (probably harmless): No library found for 'libcs.lib'
Note (probably harmless): No library found for 'libct.lib'

Note (probably harmless): No library found for 'import32.lib'
Note (probably harmless): No library found for 'cw32mti.lib'
Note (probably harmless): No library found for 'odbc32.lib'
Note (probably harmless): No library found for 'odbccp32.lib'

Note (probably harmless): No library found for 'odbc32.lib'
Note (probably harmless): No library found for 'odbccp32.lib'

but when I ran "nmake" on the makefile, it was stopped by the following
errors:.

C:\Sybperl>nmake makefile

makefile(695) : fatal error U1001: syntax error : illegal character ','

Stop.

The section in the makefile containing line 695 is shown below:

# --- MakeMaker pm_to_blib section:

pm_to_blib: $(TO_INST_PM)
	@$(PERL) "-I$(INST_ARCHLIB)" "-I$(INST_LIB)" \
	"-I$(PERL_ARCHLIB)" "-I$(PERL_LIB)" -MExtUtils::Install \
line 695 =>  -e "pm_to_blib(qw[ $(mktmp,pmfiles.dat
$(PM_TO_BLIB:s,\,\\,)\n) ],'$(INST_LIB)\auto')"
	@$(TOUCH) $@

Any hint to fix this problem is appreciated,
