Hello,

I probably missed something stupid but perl 5.8.8 got installed into
distribution directory I installed from (d: drive).

Am not sure if I can leave ActiveState perl in c:\Perl.

In makefile.mk I set

INST_DRV *= c:
INST_TP *= $(INST_DRV)\perlw32

and left other stuff untouched.

Before installation I created c:\perlw32 directory but this directory is empty.
Installation with MinGW went smoothly.

Could you suggest what went wrong?

It would be a lot easier to do so if you showed us the build process
and told us such things as what compiler and maker you are using.

For instance if you are using nmake then you modified the wrong makefile

MinGW-5.0.2
gcc-3.4.4
dmake-4.5-20060619-SHAY (Windows / MS Visual C++)
Windows XP

I don't know where the build process is saved but perl -V renders the
following:
