Hi, Thanks for trying. There is a version 0.03 which is used in the package from VMware, built on windows for 5.8 820. Thanks ------Original Message------ From: Sisyphus To: D'ALFONSO, Fabio To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Perldl] A suggestion on an old required module? Sent: Apr 16, 2012 13:46

I see that my MinGW port of gcc-4.5.2 (which can easily be used with ActivePerl) contains a 'libuuid.a'. There's no uuid/uuid.h, but basetyps.h defines uuid_t to UUID. This gave me some hope that UUID-0.02 could be built on Windows by simply replacing (in UUID.xs) #include <uuid/uuid.h> with #include <basetyps.h> but, alas, having done that I'm getting hammered during 'dmake' with: ############################### UUID.xs: In function 'do_generate': UUID.xs:17:2: error: incompatible type for argument 3 of 'Perl_sv_setpvn' C:\MinGW\perl\lib\CORE/proto.h:3988:20: note: expected 'const char * const' but argument is of type 'UUID' UUID.xs: In function 'do_parse': UUID.xs:37:8: error: incompatible type for argument 3 of 'Perl_sv_setpvn' C:\MinGW\perl\lib\CORE/proto.h:3988:20: note: expected 'const char * const' but argument is of type 'UUID' dmake: Error code 129, while making 'UUID.o' ############################### In addition, there's no 'uuid_generate' function to be found in any of the MinGW headers or libraries, afaict. (Do you mean that this module did actually build on native Windows at some stage ?) Btw, there's no problem with UUID-0.02 on Cygwin - if that's an option for you.
