I've just patched lib/Parrot/Makefile.PL to check for a Win32 platform, and if so, use .obj for the default object extension. However I did it simply by checking $^O for 'Win'. This is probably not as portable as it could be, but a quick look through ExtUtils::MakeMaker didn't reveal a variable that could be used for determining the proper extension. The possible problem in lib/Parrot/PakFile2.xs is slightly different, and is a 5.6.1 issue. Modifying Perl_croak("foo") to Perl_croak(aTHX_ "foo") works on both UNIX and Win32, but I'm not sure if that's the correct approach, and if we're simply tickling a bug in the appropriate Win32 build. This isn't a major bug, it just needs to be looked at by someone with more experience in this area than I have. -- Jeff <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
