Shall do ... though it's not looking all that promising. I'm currently stuck on the following error that occurs (fairly early) when running dmake: `del /f config.h copy config_H.gc config.h 1 file(s) copied. cd .. && miniperl configpm Invalid type 'Q' in pack at lib/Config_heavy.pl line 1088. Compilation failed in require at configpm line 777. dmake: Error code 255, while making '..\lib\Config.pm' dmake: '..\lib\Config.pm' removed.` [download] I've so far made the following amendments to config.gc: `d_casti32 to 'undef' d_longlong to 'define' d_quad to 'define' i_inttypes to 'define' ivsize to '8' ivtype to 'long long' nv_preserves_uv_bits to '53' quadkind to '3' use64bitint to 'define'` [download] Looks like there's a bit more to do, yet :-) Did anyone associated with the Vanilla/Strawberry Perl project ever investigate this ?

Did anyone associated with the Vanilla/Strawberry Perl project ever investigate this ? Not that I'm aware of. At the time, I considered myself lucky to figure out what I needed to patch in the makefile.mk to get Vanilla to build at all. The `win32` directory in the Perl source brings to mind an echo of an old phrase: "you're in a twisty maze of configuration files..." -xdg Code written by xdg and posted on PerlMonks is public domain.
