Others might know this but for those of use like me who are a bit less
up to date, do you have a list of modules that can be built using MS
compiler
but not with MinGW?
No, I don't have a list. Only examples I could find in a hurry are certain
modules within Win32::GUI:
------------------------------------
C:\_32\comp\Win32-GUI-1.06>perl Makefile.PL
BUILDENV=mingw Used build environment is: MSWin32 and MinGW
NOTE: Makefile.PL will add the instruction to use the Resource Compiler to
your Makefile; if you don't want to compile resources with your extension,
call this script with this additional argument:
perl Makefile.PL USERESOURCE=0
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Win32::GUI::AxWindow can only be built using MSVC, not 'gcc',
as it depends on the Microsoft Active Template Library (ATL).
Win32::GUI::AxWindow will be skipped during the current build process.
Writing Makefile for Win32::GUI::BitmapInline
Writing Makefile for Win32::GUI::Constants - perfect.exe
Writing Makefile for Win32::GUI::Constants
At this time Win32::GUI::DIBitmap cannot be build using gcc.
Win32::GUI::DIBitmap will be skipped during the current build process.
Writing Makefile for Win32::GUI::DropFiles
Win32::GUI::Grid can only be built using MSVC, not 'gcc',
as it requires the MFC framework.
Win32::GUI::Grid will be skipped during the current build process.
Writing Makefile for Win32::GUI::ReleaseNotes
Writing Makefile for Win32::GUI::Scintilla
Writing Makefile for Win32::GUI
C:\_32\comp\Win32-GUI-1.06>
------------------------------------
I think there are other modules ... but hopefully I've already provided
enough to "get me off the hook", so to speak :-)
Cheers,
