The mingw compiler is is getting confused by the microsoft compilers flags - all is not lost however - you can download the VC++ compiler from here.

I had the VC++ compiler, but the makefile looks for mingw. Do you know how to change the makefile? I have very little experience compiling things.

Thanks

Did you create the Makefile in the usual way? I.E by running Makefile.PL - it should always get the compiler that the Perl was compiled with (in the ActivatePerl case VC++).

However you could just change the references in the Makefile from 'g++' to 'cl' and that should fix it I would guess.

I fixed Makefile.pl.win32, then I copied all the .h files from my VC++ distribution into perl\lib\core but it's asking for windows.h now, and I don't seem to have that file. Do you know where I can get it? I ran a search and nothing came up.

Thanks

use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;

# See lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm for details of how to influence
# the contents of the Makefile that is written.

WriteMakefile(
	'NAME'		=> 'Games::Irrlicht',
	'VERSION_FROM'	=> 'lib/Games/Irrlicht.pm',
	'PREREQ_PM'	=> {
			 Config::Simple => '4.55',
			},
	($] >= 5.005 ?
		(ABSTRACT_FROM  => 'lib/Games/Irrlicht.pm',
                AUTHOR         => 'Tels ') : ()),
	'LIBS'		=> [ '-lIrrlicht -lgdi32 -lglu32 -lopengl32' ], # -ljpeg -lzlib

	'OPTIMIZE'	=> '-O2',
	'DEFINE'	=> ' -GX -TP  ', # e.g., '-DHAVE_SOMETHING'
);

update: After downloading irrlicht-0.6.zip (latest at the moment), and setting up your LIB/INCLUDE/PATH env variables correctly , you need to apply the following patch to Irrlicht.xs
