Hi,

without seeing the line in the Makefile, I can only guess: Verify, that your strings
'print $Config{'
are written as
'print $$Config{'
in your Makefile - a single '$' references a make-variable.

Else send the relevant lines of your Makefile for further inspection.

Hi Peter Nikitka,

I have check as you suggested. In Makefile the line contains double $ . It is only the print message.

Please find the attached Makefile.

Kindly do the neefule.

Hi,

the Makefile you attached is not the one which generated the error messages, but seems to be the TOP-Makefile of a tree build.
You'll have to find the Makefile containing the compilation rule of 'mod_perl_opmask.c' and send that one.
