No good, I'm afraid. First problem is that we can't make miniperl.exe: ############################################ .\mini\win32.o:win32.c:(.text+0x53b3): undefined reference to `GetLongPathNameW' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status dmake: Error code 129, while making '..\miniperl.exe' ############################################ I've just been told (on mingw-users list) that for this to work, we need to have: #define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0500 I find that works fine if inserted into win32.c before windows.h gets included. MinGW's windef.h has: #ifndef _WIN32_WINNT #define _WIN32_WINNT WINVER /* * There may be the need to define _WIN32_WINNT to a value different from * the value of WINVER. I don't have any example of why you would do that. * However, if you must then define _WIN32_WINNT to the value required before * including windows.h or any other method of including the windef.h header. */ #endif WINVER is 0x0400, btw. But I wonder if my alteration to win32.c is portable. Perhaps it needs to be conditionalised in some way ? This isn't an issue with my VC 7.0 installation as WINVER is there defined to be 0x0500. (Maybe I should be altering the WINVER value in MinGW's windef.h instead of changing anything in win32.c ?) But ... after all that, @INC is still broken anyway (in the same way as before) ! Back to square 1. Cheers, Rob
