windows compile error

[Joanna Chopard (jchopard)]

Hi all,
 
I'm a newbie here, trying to compile Pidgin on my WinXP machine so I can
start understanding better how to use libpurple.
 
I followed the instructions on 'Pidgin for Windows Build Instructions'
page.
I get the following error for libpurple/plugins/perl/common/ and not
sure what to do next.  I'm afraid I don't really know .xs file format.

===============================================================
 
Any help would be appreciated.
 
Thanks,
Joanna
