Browse All TopicsHI am not sure what I am missing,
I cant seem to install any cpan modules, I get this error: Make had returned bad status, install seems impossible
I put nmake.exe in d:\perl\bin
i then
perl -MCPAN -e shell
o conf make d:\\perl\\bin\\nmake.exe
o conf commit
Then
install Bundle::CPAN
I get these errors:
Running make for A/AD/ADAMK/File-Which-1.07
Has already been unwrapped into directory /home/Administrator/.cpan/
Could not make: Unknown error
Running make test
Can't test without successful make
Running make install
Make had returned bad status, install seems impossible
still no luck
I am doing this because of this error

If using cygwin: You should have make that comes with it. If not, use the cygwin installer to install make. Then configure cpan to use that make. Also, use forward slashes and cygwin style paths, not windows paths.
If you aren't using cygwin: What OS?
