About the only thing missing in your recipe is this: # force ucrt64 prove to use the ucrt64 perl rather than whatever is in the path sed -i 's,^#!perl,#!/ucrt64/bin/perl,' /ucrt64/bin/core_perl/prove Given that, you don't need to set PERL, and configure can find the perl to build against from the PATH. > > > Is there a reason to prefer ucrt64? > There's a lot of oddities in the mingw64 target, due to targetting the much > older C runtime library (lots of bugs, missing functionality).

Yeah. fairywren is now running with ucrt64-perl for TAP tests. >> * disable the TAP tests on jacana >> * migrate jacana to msys2 >> * kiss jacana goodbye. > Having a non-server mingw animal seems like it could be useful (I think that's > just Jacana), even if server / client versions of windows have grown > closer. So I think an update to msys2 makes the most sense? Working on that. There appear to be some issues with third party libraries. I might need to rebuild libxml2 and zlib for example. cheers andrew -- Andrew Dunstan EDB: https://www.enterprisedb.com
