Sisyphus(Rob), et. al.,
This is my second try to build the stable perl -- same
problems. New thread for clarity.
I'm building Perl 5.8.6 again on my Windows XP box (factory
Dell dimension <2yrs old standard stuff). Compiled it with
with MinGW (3.1.0) using dmake (4.1 for win32).
I'm still having the same problems: several of the
'dmake test' items fail.
as Sisyphus noted on my first try, the failed tests all
seem to have something to do with the `type command. I
tried using `type in this recently built perl, and in a
previous installation of the ActiveState perl binary (5.8.1)
-- in both cases `type can not find the specified file in
perl, but it can in the windows <cmd.exe> shell.
I only use the WinXP cmd.exe shell. I believe I configured
makefile.mk correctly, according to readme instructions.
Attached below are the failures/warnings that came up
during the 'dmake test' as well as during the build process.
I hope this will be useful, and that you can help me figure
out what's going wrong here.
I'm not at a Windows box right now, but...
