Hi John,
After my last email I reworked the patch so that all the
modifications are in Platform/VMS.pm. Could you confirm that it
still works for you and I haven't broken it?
First I discovered that I had a bug in my patch to base.pm that was
causing a diagnostic to be displayed. I did not notice it until running
the tests under the harness and it flagged it.
Then when I backed out my patch and applied yours, I discovered that it
does not work.
In particular, the value of @temp_files is only filled in by
$self->_do_link after the VMS _do_link is called.
So I had to bring over the prelink call into the VMS _do_link and set
the VMS need_prelink back to zero.
I have fixed it locally in VMS.PM, but I do not have time to submit a
patch now.
The next problem that I have hit is that is that the /include does not
work because it is the presence of the /include in the @CCFLAGS from the
configuration hash that is covering up the /include built by cbuilder.
That is what my original patch covered. In order to fix this, I have to
copy sub compile totally into VMS.C. I am in the process of doing this.
In addtion, I am seeing some new failures:
