We're talking about the win32/config_H.* files here, which are not so easily updated... Btw, Merijn: One of the manual parts of the process of updating them is restoring QUADKIND 5 (QUAD_IS___INT64), which gets lost when running win32/config_h.PL because it isn't in config_h.SH. Is that something that you could sort out? (It was added to the win32 configs long ago in 83ff24d4e9, but never found its way upstream.)Thread Previous | Thread Next
