Is there any progress on this ticket? I cannot reproduce the problem using VC++ 2010 and the tarball from the "snapshot" link on this page: http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commit/d2a68ca8e9f23a357624176e0b4b7a3d63913441 (That's about the date and time of the latest.tar.gz that you referred to, and I don't see any changes to Encode soon before or after that time.) Do you have the same problem with current bleadperl (currently the "snapshot" link on this page: http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commit/b75763d608047188e76fcf5249a427b3ad13e87a )? Do you have the same problem with perl-5.18.0 (since that is mentioned in the subject of this ticket)? What OS are you using? Specifically, is it Windows XP 32-bit or 64-bit? If it is the 64-bit version then you must set WIN64=undef in the Makefile to build a 32-bit perl.exe with the 32-bit cl.exe. All I do (on Windows 7 x64) is extract the tarballs into a folder with no space, "cd" into the win32 folder and run: nmake CCTYPE=MSVC100 WIN64=undef In your case, it would be: nmake CCTYPE=MSVC90 WIN64=undef if you are on 64-bit, or: nmake CCTYPE=MSVC90 if you are on 32-bit. --- via perlbug: queue: perl5 status: open https://rt.perl.org:443/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=118261Thread Next
