Event.c
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\include\signal.h(102) : error
C2059: syntax error : '('
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'cl.exe' : return code '0x2'
Stop.
I (and probably many others) get the same.
It's a strange one, isn't it ..... 'nmake' complaining about the syntax of
"one of its own" header files. If there is in fact a problem with the syntax
of 'signal.h' one would expect there to be some discussion of it on the MS
website - but searching that site is far too daunting a task for me :-)
I've simply taken it to mean that one can't build the Event package for AS
perl. (ActiveState don't have a windows ppm for it afaik.) The occurrence of
the word 'signal' is enough to make one dubious about the suitability of
this module for AS perl.
Wandering off topic ...... if there *is* a problem with the syntax of
'signal.h' then wouldn't that mean that the following program would fail to
build ?
#include <signal.h>
void main() {
printf("OK");
}
Yet it builds fine.
Cheers,
Rob
