I'm trying to compile a Perl source and I can't seem to find a version of nmake that works with Windows 7 64 bit. I've searched all over Microsoft's website and my Googlefu seems to be failing me. Can I use a different compiler- if so suggestions/resources? I'm a native Linux user so pardon my ignorance

NMake is part of Microsoft's build tools for building C++ projects. You can get nmake as well as the MSVC++ compiler by downloading Visual C++ Express. Visual C++ Express runs perfectly fine on Windows 7. | |||

To get the 64 bit version of nmake (for Windows 7) you can also install the Windows SDK. It will install nmake to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\bin" on Windows 7 without prompting for an alternate directory. | |||
