Re^2: RFC: Setting up a minGW compiling envronment for Perl 5.10

Now that we've sorted the mistakes with dlltool I now have these errors with dmake test. Sigh:

t/set-scroll-adjustments-signal......Gtk-ERROR **: Incompatible build!
The code using GTK+ thinks GtkBox is of different
size than it actually is in this build of GTK+.
On Windows, this probably means that you have compiled
your code with gcc without the -mms-bitfields switch,
or that you are using an unsupported compiler. at I:\strawberry\cpan\b
+uild\Gtk2-
1.164-jWrGfH\blib\lib/Gtk2/TestHelper.pm line 41.

This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusu

Please contact the application's support team for more information.

Which causes it to skip almost all of the tests.

Dang, adding `-mms-bitfields` to `CCFLAGS` in the `Makefile` simply results in gcc: unrecognized option `-MMS-BITFIELDS'... hang on writing this makes me notice it might be case sensitive... yup. Case sentitive. Oooh some tests segfault :)	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Oooh some tests segfault Yes - and it's a bit of a disappointment after all one has gone through just to get it to build. In addition to the segfaults I get a number of "Can't locate object method ..." errors scattered throughout when I run the tests verbosely - eg (from Gdk.t) `Can't locate object method "get_xid" via package "Gtk2::Gdk::Window" at t\gdk.t line 108`. And some of the "isa" tests report that the object being scrutinised is not of the expected type - which seems bizarre to me. Still, the module is probably usable for most situations.
