As others have said you're probably trying to do a 64-bit build with the 32-bit compiler. You can check which compiler is visible by running it: The 32-bit compiler: C:\Users\tony>cl Microsoft (R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 15.00.30729.01 for 80x86 ... The 64-bit compiler: C:\Users\tony>cl Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 15.00.30729.01 for x64 ... These are from VCE 2008 + Win7 SDK, so the versions will be different. VCE 2010 includes a script vcvarsall to set the environment for your build, presumably you can use this on VC 10.0 full to set the compiler you need: C:\Users\tony>"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\vc\vcvarsall.bat" amd64 The specified configuration type is missing. The tools for the configuration might not be installed. C:\Users\tony>"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\vc\vcvarsall.bat" x86 Setting environment for using Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 x86 tools. (amd64 fails for me, since it's only VC Express.) So if you want to build a 32-bit perl: 1) uncomment the WIN64=undef in the Makefile 2) if you don't see "32-bit" in the output from "cl" run the x86 vcvarsall command above. If you want a 64-bit perl: 1) leave WIN64=undef commented 2) run the amd64 vcvarsall command above TonyThread Previous | Thread Next
