> Here is the URL for the ASPerl reports: > http://code.activestate.com/ppm/PDL/ As regards the Windows failure for 2.008 on 5.16: Ops.xs(18630) : error C2632: 'long' followed by 'long' is illegal Ops.xs(18630) : error C2632: 'long' followed by 'long' is illegal Ops.xs(18696) : error C2632: 'long' followed by 'long' is illegal Ops.xs(18696) : error C2632: 'long' followed by 'long' is illegal So they've obviously used one of the (older) MS compilers for which 'long long' is illegal - as any MS compiler from this century will allow 'long long'. In Ops.xs we currently generate: #define Q_MOD(X,N) (((N) == 0) ? 0 : ( (X) - (ABS(N)) * ((long long)((X)/(ABS(N))) + ( ( ((N) * ((long long)((X)/(N)))) != (X) ) ? ( ( ((N)<0) ? 1 : 0 ) + ( (((X)<0) ? -1 : 0))) : 0 )))) As regards the Windows failure for 2.009 on 5.18 and 5.20: cp gamma.fits ..\..\..\blib\lib\PDL\Graphics\LUT\ramps/gamma.fits The system cannot find the path specified. dmake: Error code 129, while making 'subdirs' dmake: Error code 255, while making 'subdirs' This is the same problem reported a few days back - the 'Graphics/PLplot' directory is missing. (For 5.18 onwards, ActveState use MinGW compilers and dmake.) I don't check MS compiler builds of PDL any more. Inline::C (PDL prerequisite) now has such a long dependency chain that installing it by hand is impractical, and 'cpan -i Inline::C' doesn't work on my MSVC-built perls. I abhor "cpan" and its offshoots to the extent that I haven't yet summonsed the energy to do anything about solving this problem - and it will probably never happen. Now that ActiveState don't use MS compilers for their Windows builds, I feel that problems with MS compilers can be left to those that actually want to use those compilers.
