With a -des configuration on: Compaq C V6.4-005 on OpenVMS Alpha V7.2-1, Compaq TCP/IP Services Version V5.1 - ECO 3
All tests successful. with the same configuration on: DEC C V5.2-003 on OpenVMS Alpha V7.1, Process Software MultiNet V4.2 Rev A-X t/comp/cpp..........................FAILED at test 3 lib/ExtUtils/t/basic................FAILED at test 9 lib/ExtUtils/t/Installed............FAILED at test 16 lib/Net/hostent.....................FAILED at test 5 Failed 4 test scripts out of 622, 99.36% okay. And what I think those mean is: The C pre-processor must be a bit funny on this very old compiler. I'm not sure why the ExtUtils tests still fail -- possibly a remaining directory depth issue. I believe we're passing a Berkeley 4.4 hostent struct to a gethostbyaddr routine that expects the 4.3 version. There is a possibility one or more of these will get fixed but none should hold up 5.8.0 IMO. -- ________________________________________ Craig A.
