Once the Tools & SDK are installed, the build environment has to
be setup. The following batch files setup the environment.

=item Buildtype.bat
This is used to set the build type to debug or release. Change the
the buildtype to be set to Debug type with D1 flag set.
2. Typing "buildtype r" at the command prompt sets it to Release Build type.

The make process runs only under WinNT shell. The NetWare makefile is
is created. Then run nmake from NetWare folder through WinNT command
prompt.

This will cause the binaries to be installed on the local machine.

=head1 Build new extensions
To build extensions other than standard extensions, NetWare Perl has

building NetWare Perl by following steps given above. This will copy
all the *.pm files and other required files. Documentation files are
-not copied.Thus one must first install Windows Perl, Then install

NetWare Perl.
Once this is done, do the following to build any extension:
Example:
- perl -Ic:/perl/5.7.2/lib/NetWare-x86-multi-thread -Ic:\perl\5.7.2\lib MakeFile.pl
+ perl -Ic:/perl/5.6.1/lib/NetWare-x86-multi-thread -Ic:\perl\5.6.1\lib MakeFile.pl

Example: You can execute the following on the command prompt.
- perl -Ic:/perl/5.7.2/lib/NetWare-x86-multi-thread -Ic:\perl\5.7.2\lib MakeFile.pl
