Problems during installation

I was having trouble installing under windows and it turned out to be my version of perl. ; I was using activeperl version 5.8.6 build 811 and when I upgraded to 5.8.8 build 817 it started working.

 

Hope this helps,

 

Mark

 

 

When attempting to build the API I get this output:

Using Cygwin, API ver 2005r1, gcc -v output:

$ gcc -v

I'm following the instructions as best I'm able. ; This seems to be a shell related error.  I'm thinking a re-install of cygwin might be in order.
