Re^2: Win32, MinGW and -Duse64bitint

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.

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'

Looks like there's a bit more to do, yet :-)
Did anyone associated with the Vanilla/Strawberry Perl project ever investigate this ?

Cheers,
Rob

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.
