in thread Failed building Perl on windows using Visual C++ 2010

how do you figured out what errors o fails?

I keep logs, run the failing tests by hand (  perl harness -v porting/buildtoc.t )

See Re: perl 5.14.0-RC1 is available for testing!

buildtoc is pod generation, the failure of the test doesn't impact generation of perltoc, and that is just a pod file ( list of =head from every pod file)

http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git?a=search&h=HEAD&st=free&s=buildtoc.t shows Rename t/porting/buildtoc.t to pod_rules.t, which calls http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/blob/HEAD:/Porting/pod_rules.pl

update: after reviewing Re: perl 5.14.0-RC1 is available for testing! and pod_rules.pl, i don't see that the test actually tests anything of importance

    Nice, thank you

    Here ends the thread? or do I have to do something to close it as a solved?

      Yup, here it ends, there is no closing, though I've seen some update the root title with  [solved], though I don't recall if PerlMonks FAQ endorses the practice
