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?

if ( 1 ) { $postman->ring() for (1..2); }

In reply to Win32::OLE on cygwin64, can't make OLE.xs by gargle
