Problems building Javascript-1.00 on Win32 system Mark 11-11-2006

Good evening.

Has anyone here successfully built the Javascript-1.00 module on a Win32
system?

I built the SpiderMonkey Javascript engine (successfully, I think) and
installed
the DLL in my path. Next I created the Javascript-1.00 makefile and ran
Nmake.
Nmake stops with the following error:

makefile(922) : fatal error U1086: inference rule cannot have dependents


So I visited line 922 and found the following:

._JavaScript.c JavaScript.c : $(XSUBPPDEPS)


Some investigation into error U1086 suggests that there should be a carriage
return after the colon, like so:

._JavaScript.c JavaScript.c :
$(XSUBPPDEPS)

(I also tried putting a semicolon after the colon).

After either of these modifications, nmake goes on its merry way
until it ultimately fails on a link error, "cannot open input file
"JavaScript.obj"."

I cannot find JavaScript.c or JavaScript.obj anywhere in the project files
for
SpiderMonkey or Javascript-1.00.

Can anyone tell me what I am missing, or what I am doing wrong?

Thanks
-Mark

There's a ppm for it at the bribes rep (so *someone* has apparently managed
to build it):

ppm install http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/JavaScript.ppd

Cheers,
