How difficult would it be for me to build
a 32bit SP with use64bit stuff enabled?
It's been a while since I looked at doing this, but I think *I* would still
find the patching involved in building a 32-bit Windows perl
with -Duse64bitint both tedious and difficult ... however, that doesn't mean
that you and/or kmx would also suffer the same :-)
Chris, your Cygwin perl should be suitable for testing the "32-bit
with -Duse64bitint" scenario.
Currently the build engine is under complete reconstruction. How quickly
do
you need it?
kmx, have you already been working on building a 32-bit SP
with -Duse64bitint ?
It's something I'd like to see .... and something I'd like to be able to
build from source.
It would also be nice to have -Duselongdouble support (even if just for the
x64 builds).
If you do have patches that enable any of this, it would be nice (though
*not* obligatory upon you) if they could be made available for integration
into the official perl sources.
Cheers,
Rob
