dmake.exe: Error code 255, while making 'test'

[tt]

ViergeHi,

I try to install Perl 5.8.5 on my Win XP Pro SP2 with thoses items:

--> Perl 5.8.5 ( put in C:\perl\ )

I got it on this site: http://www.perl.com/download.csp

It was this version

"
Stable Production Release
The current version of Perl is 5.8.5. This is a stable, tested release that you should use in production environments.

DOWNLOAD Stable Release from CPAN/src
Get source for Unix and Windows systems stable.tar.gz archive

Features new to this release include generation of C code and support for lightweight processes. This version is a stable, production release that compiles out of the box for virtually all flavors of Unix (its native environment), plus VMS, OS/2, and 32-bit Microsoft platforms as well.

"



--> dmake-4.1pl1-win32 ( I put dmake.exe and the folder "startup" in C:\perl\perl-5.8.5\win32\ )
--> MinGW-3.1.0-1 ( put in C:\MinGW\ )


my "path" environment is:
%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Fichiers communs\Roxio Shared\DLLShared;C:\MinGW\MinGW\bin



At the end of the test phase ( C:\Perl\perl-5.8.5\win32>dmake test ), I got this:


Failed Test Stat Wstat Total Fail Failed List of Failed

dmake.exe: Error code 255, while making 'test'
Do anyone know what is the problem? Could I, despite this trouble, go further without wrong consequences?

Thank you very much!

I don't understand.

Usenet is a textual medium. Don't post markup (like HTML). Not everyone
is using a newsreader that understands such things. Similarly, don't
post binaries (like images). [There are newsgroups where posting of
binaries is permitted, but these usually have "binaries" somewhere in
their name.]

Hello,
I finally found the pb, that was I haden't put enough informations in the
path environment variable. I put finally all this:

%SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;C:\Program
Files\Fichiers communs\Roxio
Shared\DLLShared;C:\MinGW\MinGW\bin;C:\Perl\perl-5.8.5\win32;C:\Perl\perl-5.8.5\win32\startup;C:\Perl\perl-5.8.5\win32\bin;

It ran after I added the last three items ( C:\Perl\perl-5.8.5\win32\startup
is the dmake folder I put here ). I'm not sure the three were required.
This wasn't mentioned in the perl's windows Readme file.

Thanks
bye.
