weird thing with nmake pugs

Category: Diary Keywords: nmake pugs

I want to install the newest pugs.
http://svn.openfoundry.org/pugs
so I 'svn up', then 'perl Makefile.PL'. all is okay. but when i 'nmake test', it returns:

cp lib/Perl6/Pugs.pm blib\lib\Perl6\Pugs.pm
NMAKE : fatal error U1052: file 'Makefile' not found
Stop.
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'C:\WINNT\system32\cmd.exe' : return code '0x2'
Stop.

But I can find the 'Makefile' file in the folder. and when I install other modules like 'HTML::Format', 'nmake test|install' is okay. "that's weird." Autrijus said.
Then he told me several ways to make things going on. such as:

remove the C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio* from my path. (That doesn't work.)
rename nmake.exe @ c:\usr\bin. (remain the same.)
nmake /f Makefile || nmake /f c:\absolute\path\to\Makefile (no help)

At last, Autrijus says:

perl -Iutil -MPugsConfig -e "PugsConfig->write_config_module" > src\Config.hs
perl Makefile.PL -version
ghc --make -o pugs src/Main.hs -isrc

I followed, and compiled the pugs v6.0.10.
Thank God. but the nmake problem is still there. I'll talk with autrijus tomorrow.
May good luck.

It's more weird. After i installed the parrot, use nmake twice. Then go to nmake pugs, it works.
Oh, my God. just unbelievable.
