Hi all,

Well, first the system where I'm trying to build the latest stable version of Perl:

Windows XP SP3

2GB RAM

Xeon Processor

Visual Studio 2010( Visual C++ 2010)

I left MakeFile as default only changing CCTYPE to the corresponding value.

Then I did nmake without any problem. But after I did nmake test, I get this:

Test Summary Report
-------------------
porting/buildtoc.t                                              (Wstat
+: 0 Tests: 8 Failed: 1)
  Failed test:  4
Files=2092, Tests=464055, 1544 wallclock secs (59.63 usr +  9.39 sys =
+ 69.02 CPU)
Result: FAIL

NMAKE: fatal error u1077: '..\perl.exe' : return code '0x1'
Stop

I also found where it fails when testing

porting/buildtoc.t ................................................ 
Failed 1/8 subtests

I don't have any idea of what's going on. I build 5.12 before without any problems the only thing is that I used Visual C++ 2008

I appreciate any help you can give. Thanks
