Needing some help with Module::Build and the Intel compiler.

[Steve Mayer]

Hello,

I'm attempting to perform a Perl build on Windows 2003 64-bit using the Intel compiler (version 10.1.032) and I'm seeing issues with those modules that are using Module::Build. Basically when I attempt to build any of these Module::Build based modules, I'm seeing the following type of error:

perl Build.PL
compilet-qQxoU.
(0): internal error: backend signals

Has anyone seen this type of issue or has more experience with using the Intel compiler (along with VS 2005) to build Perl with?

I'm not a C programmer, so I'm flying in the dark here...

Thanks in advance,

Steve Mayer

Module::Build is using ExtUtils::CBuilder to do compiling and linking.
AFAIK that doesn't have explicit support for the Intel compiler on
Windows (though I remember icc having a gcc compatibility mode, maybe
it works through that). ExtUtils;:CBuilder is a bit of a mess on
Windows anyway.
