It is indeed the quoting of the perl command interpreter issue.
I also work often on *nix platforms, and tested with \"$^X\", which worked. But I can’t guarantee that too for all *nix flavors... It may be worth trying it (unless someone else complains). If you are unsure for a certain *nix flavor, please let me know. We may have that platform in house (currently, our product is built on Suse Linux, HPUX (PA-risc + Itanium), Solaris, AIX, Windows. Secondary platforms: Tru64. Our product also run on RedHat linux (although we built on Suse SLES 10)).

Just for the record. Even if ml64 is not unsupported, it's still "when in doubt use nasm" policy that is in effect. Anyway, if ml64 is present on %PATH%, then how come "since I did not have nasm installed, the build for 32-bit succeeded, but for 64-bit not"? Or is it $^X vs. \"$^X\" in ms\uplink-x86_64.pl issue rather than availability of nasm or ml64 after all? Bottom line. \"$^X\" in ms\uplink-x86_64.pl is absolute minimal requirement for cases when Perl is installed in directory with spaces. I'm a bit reluctant to propagate this on all modules, because there is no guarantee that it won't cause problems on *any other* supported platform. It shouldn't, but there is no way of actually be sure. I'd rather simply require that Perl is available on path without spaces. One can create a junction is worst case... ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List [email protected] Automated List Manager [email protected]
