If you specify more than one macro definition in ccflags the /DEFINE macros need to be in parenthesis. This causes the test lib/ExtUtils/t/Embed.t to fail because it passes the parenthesis back with an "\" character in front of them to the DCL command. It turns out though, that I will only have one define, as _USE_STD_STAT implies _LARGEFILE and 32 bit GIDs, and symlinks will require _USE_STD_STAT. Based on your other post, I am modifying my copy of CONFIGURE.COM to enabling hardlinks if support is detected for them on the build disk, not as a build option. I am also only enabling SYMLINK support if the operating system supports it and the uselargefiles option is also active. -John [EMAIL PROTECTED]
