in thread XS.c: loadable library and perl binaries are mismatched (got handshake key 0xc100000, needed 0xc180000)

Yes, indeed. Same mismatch

I tried to explore possibilities related to gcc-3.4.5 by building perl-5.32.0 on Windows with gcc-3.4.5, but the build failed when trying to compile Time::HiRes.
Is anyone here (apart from rgren95) in a position to build perl-5.32.0 with gcc-3.4.5, and then see what happens when cpan -I List::MoreUtils::XS is attempted ?
Is it still to be expected that perl should be buildable with gcc-3.4.5 ? ... or should gcc-3.4.5 be simply dismissed as something that has reached its EOL ?

rgren95, I'm still interested in looking at that XS.c file that's generated by perl-5.32.0. (Just send it to sisyphus at cpan dot org if you haven't received my /msg notification.)

Thinking back to bulk88's mention of Config issues, I'm also wondering whether the stuff in the List-MoreUtils-XS-0.428/inc directory could somehow be screwing things up.
That's something probably best left to someone who knows what-why-and-how the stuff in that directory is doing whatever it does. (ie ... best left to someone that's not me.)

Cheers,
Rob

    Hi,

    I encountered the same thing

    Its worth sending a link to this thread to p5p ...

    But

    RHEL4 is a couple of years out of End of Extended Lifecycle Support

    And gcc-3.4.5 is from 2004

    2004

    remember 2004?

    Oh wow :D

      I encountered the same thing

      I got excited there for a moment, thinking that you had encountered the same problem as the OP ;-)
      But, after further consideration, I realized you had probably merely encountered the same problem as I did.

      That problem (ie ours, not the OP's) turns out to be fairly simple to resolve.
      In HiRes.xs at lines 142 and 143 we have: 
      /* Visual C++ 2013 and older don't have the timespec structure */
#  if defined(MSC_VER) && _MSC_VER < 1900

      [download]
      Turns out that gcc-3.4.5 also doesn't have the timespec structure, so I just changed line 143 to: 
      #  if defined(_WIN32)

      [download]
      which is not a portable solution, but is good enough to get the job done if the version of gcc is 3.4.5.
      The portable solution would be: 
      Updated (ie checked and corrected):
#if (defined(MSC_VER) && _MSC_VER < 1900) || (defined(__MINGW32__) && 
+__GNUC__ < 4)

      [download]
      Anyway, List::MoreUtils::XS-0.428 builds and tests fine on my gcc-3.4.5 built perl-5.32.0.
      At least I now have a functional gcc-3.4.5 build of perl-5.32.0.
      Imagine how useful that will be !! (Not very..)

      BTW, this gcc-3.4.5 build of perl-5.32.0 tested fairly well (IMO).
      The cpan/IO-Compress/t/105oneshot-gzip.t script hangs and has to be slaughtered - but then the same thing happens for me with 64-bit gcc-8.3.0 builds of perl, too.

        I think the gcc version may have been a red herring. I just got a RHEL 5.11 system with gcc 4.1.2 and received the same handshake mismatch on XS.c when I tried to use cpanm to install List::MoreUtils.
