A patch for these things is at git://github.com/khwilliamson/perl.git, branch is 'make'. It looks to me like Steve's windows smoker would still be trying to run mktables (ever-so-slowly) every time, and hopefully this fixes that. I started with Rafael's patches, and grepped through the source for any mention of mktables or the files I removed, and then patched things as best as I can guess for vms and windows. I also patched the Cross makefile, which looks more like the ones I'm familiar with. However there is a Makefile.SH.patch in that directory that I have no idea what to do with. I changed t/re/uniprops.t to just be a wrapper for the generated test file, which I went back to the old name for: TestProp.pl, left in the same directory as mktables. I changed the makefile to correspond, adding it and mktables.lst to the dependencies. As I'm sending this, I'm wondering if my wrap is correct. I just did a 'do path', with slashes in the path. Maybe only a 'require' can use slashes portably.Thread Next
