Stop.

The failing command was:

cl -c -IC:\db-4.7.25.NC\build_windows -nologo -GF -W3 -MD -Zi -
DNDEBUG -O1 -DWIN32 -D_CONSOLE -DNO_STRICT -DHAVE_DES_FCRYPT -

DPERL_MSVCRT_READFIX -MD -Zi -DNDEBUG -O1 -DVERSION=\"0.35\" -
DXS_VERSION=\"0.35\" "-IC:\Perl\lib\CORE" BerkeleyDB.c

While still in the \BerkeleyDB-0.35 directory, I'd try manually re-
running that command (ie by itself, outside of 'nmake') and see if a
more meaningful error message is presented.

Cheers,

Good suggestion, Rob. Thanks.

I tried it and was immediately informed that mspdb80.dll couldn't be
found. After adding its location to my PATH environment variable, I
ran into several other similar occurrences. I looked high and low
(except here on newsgroups that weren't available to me temporarily)
and realized that I likely needed to 'run' the Visual Studio companion
batch script vsvars32.bat before continuing. That has eliminated a
number of the dependency issues that I ran into, but now I have more
problems:
