We should get the cvs version ready for a release, since once perl-5.8.1 is released we must release mp 1.99_10, 1.99_09 won't work with 5.8.1. Hopefully this won't happen this week. But it seems like Jarkko wants to release it any moment now.
But harcoding 'winnt' in some fashion probably would be required.
This probably will be easy, since winnt == MSWin32.
If a 5.8.1 release does seem pressing, perhaps Steve Hay could test that out, if I'm not back.
I'll ask him if we get pressed into it. So far it looks like last minute changes in perl 5.8.1 break things, so it might still take a few more days (weeks?)
Having gone through a semi-functional port of apxs for Win32, I hope to also get a chance to look doing the same for the ap[ru]-config scripts; these are shell scripts, so aren't as straightforward as apxs, but then again, aren't as involved as apxs. Hopefully with these the amount of special handling for Win32 will be cut down.
Cool!
Do you say that ap[ru]-config scripts have the same problem as apxs? I guess more special cases for win32 will be needed. Since perl runs shell scripts on win32 as well (I think) won't running them via perl will do the trick?
I don't think so - ap[ru]-config are /bin/sh scripts, so wouldn't run under the Win32 "shell" (unless I guess one had cygwin, or some equivalent, but one can't assume that). However, they don't look too difficult to convert to Perl.
That's a good forecast!
