Yes, I don't think it's a Win32::API issue. I merely raised the issue here as a
"starting point" because this is the first module I've come across that has
been affected by this issue.
I use the *same* dmake for *all* of my Windows perls. For some of those perls
$(CC) needs to be set to 'gcc', for others it needs to be
'x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc'. Similarly, $(AR) can be either 'ar' or
'x86_64-w64-mingw32-ar' depending upon which compiler built the perl that's
being used.
The generated Makefile always sets $(AR) and $(CC) correctly for the particular
perl. I presume that this happens via the influence of ExtUtils::MakeMaker ...
and I wonder whether ExtUtils::MakeMaker could be amended to do the same as
regards $(AS) ?
I'll ask about this on the makemaker mailing list.
In startup.mk I see:
AS *:= as
and I also see
AR *:= ar
AR always gets set correctly, so I think the same should be possible for AS.
Thanks for the pointers !
Cheers,
Rob
