This section provides a tutorial example on how to install the 'make' utility on Windows, NMake 1.5, to help installing the RPC::XML Perl module.
Based on the documation, the installation process of RPC::XML module requires the "make" utility.
Since I am using a Windows system now, so I need to download a "make" utility for Windows.
John Bokma has written a nice instruction on how to download and install Microsoft NMake at:
http://johnbokma.com/perl/make-for-windows.html. I used the following steps to install NMake 1.5
on my local machine.
2. Double click on nmake15.exe. It will generate 3 files: nmake.exe, nmake.err and readme.txt.
3. Copy nmake.exe and nmake.err to \perl\bin, which is where ActivePerl executable files are
located.
4. Now try the nmake command in a command window. If you see the following message, NMake 1.5
is installed correctly:
>nmake

Stop.
