Hi,

What follows is a re-hash of a question I asked on the makemaker mailing list a couple of weeks ago (and received no reply):

I use the one build of dmake for a variety of perls (both 32-bit and 64-bit) that have been built with different mingw compilers.

For some of those perls, $(CC) needs to be set to 'gcc', for others it needs to be set to 'x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc'.
Similarly $(AR) can be either 'ar' or 'x86_64-w64-mingw32-ar' ... and $(AS) either 'as' or 'x86_64-w64-mingw32-as'.

Both $(CC) and $(AR) always get set correctly for the particular perl/compiler. I think this is owing to the influence of ExtUtils::MakeMaker .... right ?

But $(AS) always gets set to 'as'. Could EU::MM be modified to influence this setting ?
Which particular EU::MM module(s) should I be looking at in order to come up with a patch ?

dmake's startup.mk contains the following 2 lines:
AS *:= as
AR *:= ar

Basically, I just want to extend the process that sets $(AR) correctly to apply also to $(AS).

Cheers,
Rob
