Win32::OLE on cygwin64, can't make OLE.xs

gargle has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Fellow monks,

I can't install Win32::OLE 0.1712 on my cygwin64. I already changed stricmp into strcasecmp by means of look Win32::OLE, but make Win32::OLE now gives me an unexpected error:

OLE.xs:925:17: fout: formaat is geen stringconstante en er zijn geen f
+ormaat-argumenten [-Werror=format-security]
   warn(SvPVX(sv));
[download]

As my cygwin64 is in dutch, it reads: error: format is no string constant and there are no format arguments.

Any ideas on how to proceed? Do I log a bug in cpan for this module or is there a depency on some sort of cygwin library that I am missing?

Well, I try to see if I can build it on win32 I get `Can't locate object method "new" via package "ExtUtils::ParseXS" at si +te\lib\ExtUtils\xsubpp line 51.` [download] Which is weird, but turns out its same Makefile.PL issue as Re^3: Building Win32::GuiTest for perl 5.14 or higher `sub MY::xs_c { return ' .xs.cpp: $(PERLRUNINST) $(XSUBPP) $(XSPROTOARG) $(XSUBPPARGS) $.xs >xstmp. +c && $(MV) xstmp.c $.cpp '; }` [download] After that it builds So there is your path gargle, skip cygwin :) or complain rt://Win32-OLE	[reply] [d/l] [select]
