Summary: Makefile problem on Win32 (with nmake)
Product: Spamassassin
Version: 2.63
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Windows 2000
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5
Component: Building & Packaging
AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
When trying to compile version 2.63 of SpamAssassin on Windows 2000 I got lots
of errors of that kind: "Backslash found where operator expected"
I identified the problem. It's in line 180 of the Makefile.PL:
'PM_FILTER' => '$(PERL) build/preprocessor -Mconditional $(FIXBYTES) -Mvars
-DVERSION="$(VERSION)" -DPREFIX="$(I_PREFIX)"',
On windows one have to use " to quote strings and as there are quotes in this
string one has to escape them like this:
'PM_FILTER' => '$(PERL) build/preprocessor -Mconditional $(FIXBYTES) -Mvars
-DVERSION=\"$(VERSION)\" -DPREFIX=\"$(I_PREFIX)\"',
With this modification to the Makefile.PL I was able to compile SpamAssassin
without problems on Windows 2000. Of course this modification would probably
cause problems on Unix machines and I know Windows is not the primary OS for
SpamAssassin. But maybe there is a way to accomodate for both kind of OS.

Olivier Boudry.
