It'll only manifest in apreq2 on Win32, unless Randy figures out how to link Upload.dll against APR.dll. The problem generally occurs when another XS module (not in mp2) tries to use the mp2 typemaps. On *nix this is no problem because APR.so will provide the symbols at runtime, but on systems like Win32, which need the location at compile-time, this issue becomes a PITA. Rather than hunting APR.lib down, it is very tempting for XS module authors to just reimplement those functions themselves. Instead of doing that, if mp2 also provided an implementation of those functions through a header file, it would eliminate the portability issue. -- Joe Schaefer --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
