I'm coming into this a bit late and I don't have the complete thread to hand, but what about installing the ppm file for Win32::Shortcut (I believe there is one). That way you don't have to worry about compilation.

Bottomline Question First: What is "cl" in Unix?
Thank you all for your responses and suggestions.
Unfortunately, I don't believe Boeing would allow me to install
Strawberry Perl,
so am constrained to ActivePerl, which is pretty good, methinks.
I did download and install NMake.exe from microsoft.
I tried running "perl Makefile.pl" from a cygwin bash shell, but got:
Perl.exe - Entry Point Not Found
The procedure entry point__isnand could not be located in the dynamic
link library cygwin1.dll.
However, tried that in a DOS Command Prompt window and it seemed to
work.
I then tried running "nmake". The results are the same in both shells.
nmake

C:\Perl\lib\ExtUtils/xsubpp -typemap C:\Perl\lib\ExtUtils\typemap
-typemap typemap Shortcut.xs >xstmp.c && C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe

CORE Shortcut.cpp
'cl' is not recognized as an internal or external
command, operable program or batch file.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe'
: return code '0x1'
Stop.
Even as an old Unix guru, I don't recognize 'cl'.
Given the command line arguments, I'd guess it is a compiler,
and given the last argument of "Shortcut.cpp" it must be a C++ compiler,
right?
Oh, this NMake.exe was supposed to come with Visual Studio, which I
don't have,
and probably can't have on this machine. I'll check again to see if I
can install it.
Thanks,
