I have a module written in C that is generating this error. The full message (expanded) is:

enableUser is not a valid CLIEXT macro at etrack.pl line 63

This is happening on Windows XP with Perl 5.8.8, compiled for Windows using the mingw runtime 3.13 and dmake 4.8 packages.

The same code, unmodified, compiles and runs on Linux and Solaris systems.

"enableUser" is the primary C function defined for this module, and it's called from the etrack.pl file as:

  CLIEXT::enableUser(...)

with 6 arguments, two of which are Perl constants.

Thanks,

Bob
