Thanks for this. The warning is interesting (and I'll fix it) but is unlikely to cause real problems. The Perl_pop_return thing is a real pain though! Could you try changing that line (third from the end in Want.xs) to just pop_return rather than Perl_pop_return and see if that makes any difference? If you know anything about Win32 object files (I don't) then it would be interesting to know whether(Perl_)pop_return is exported by the Perl .lib (and if not, why not!) Also, what is oldnames.lib? Perhaps that's relevant... Any help would be much appreciated. .robin. On Sun, Aug 10, 2003 at 08:02:37PM -0400, via RT wrote: Show quoted text

Here's what happened when I tried that. Note that it complains about "too few actual parameters" to pop_return() and, very strangely, gives me the same "unresolved external symbol", even though I've changed the method name. I definitely did a clean install, so I'm very confused now. Checking around on Google, it looks like this may actually be a bug in 5.8, but I'm not positive.

I assume that some header does #define pop_return() Perl_pop_return(aTHX) which explains both the warning and the link error. I think we need someone who understands Win32 linking to help us. I'll try asking p5p. .robin.

Okay, p5p have been extremely helpful! Could you try the attached? If it works for you, it will become Want-0.07 later today. .robin.

This is fixed in Want 0.07, which is making its way to the CPAN as I type.
