dmake not found when installing Perl module using CPAN

Question

I installed Perl from ActiveState. Plain version with no extensions. Windows 10. \"This is perl 5, version 28, subversion 1 (v5.28.1) built for MSWin32-x64-multi-thread\

Answer 1

Runcpan, and execute the following:

o conf make

Here's an example from one of my Windows systems:

cpan> o conf make
    make               [C:\STRAWB~1\c\bin\gmake.exe]

Check to see if the file listed in the make option is available on your system where cpan thinks it is (the entry may just be missing the path information to the binary).

If it's not, either find it, or look for another make program (gmake.exe is common), then enter the path and the make program's filename with the configuration command under cpan:

cpan> o conf make C:\\Strawberry\\c\\bin\\gmake.exe
    make               [C:\Strawb~1\c\bin\gmake.exe]
    commit: wrote 'C:\Strawberry\perl\lib/CPAN/Config.pm'
