Accepted Answer

I just tried it in my ActiveStatePerl environment.

First I got the same results, but then I renamed my ZMQ installation and removed the spaces.

(From `C:\App\ZeroMQ 2.2.0` to `C:\App\ZeroMQ2_2_0`.)

```
+ ZMQ_HOME = C:\App\ZeroMQ2_2_0
+ ZMQ_H = C:\App\ZeroMQ2_2_0\include\zmq.h
+ ZMQ_INCLUDES = C:\App\ZeroMQ2_2_0\include
+ ZMQ_LIBS = C:\App\ZeroMQ2_2_0\lib
+ ZMQ_TRACE = (null)
```

So I passed the problem

```
Can't link/include C library 'zmq.h', 'zmq', aborting.
```

and got the next step in Makefile.PL

```
Detecting zmq version...
```

(That fails on my system because I have a 0mq 2.2.0 and the perl-binding requires 3.3)

Hope that works for you, too.
