So, the attached patch fixes all this.
randy is probably the best person to look this one over.
Do you want me to test with 5.8.5 to see if that still works?
yeah, I really think we need to do that - as mp1 is still the stable
workhorse that the vast majority of our users are on, we can't just go
breaking compat with older versions of perl. even on windows :)
does the format allow for ifdef-type logic? if not, while I know it's
more
work, but maybe dynamically generating the .dsp could be investigated?
Thanks, Steve, for tracking that down. It would be nice to
try with as many Perl versions as possible - I have 5.8.0
5.6 at home, but unfortunately am away for the next
week, so won't be able to look at it before then.
I've now tried with 5.8.0, 5.8.1, 5.8.5, 5.8.6, 5.8.7 and 5.8.8 and they
all build and test OK for me (all using apache-1.3.34).
The Changes file says that /D _WINSOCK2API_ was added by Randy in
1.21_01 "for 1.3.9/win32", so maybe older apache's need it, or perhaps
it was just cautionary?
Can you remember why you added it, Randy?
What's the oldest version of apache that we need to be concerned to support?
