David, Sorry, but I removed 5.8.9.2 and installed 5.10.1.0 beta. Win32::Process builds fine with that release. However, it was a brand new install of 5.8.9.2. I'm not sure if ExtUtils::ParseXS is bundled with the release or was retrieved from CPAN yesterday. Regards, David Show quoted text

Yep - I get the same as the above. So where does 'Process.c' come from ?

> Process.c: In function `void boot_Win32__Process(PerlInterpreter*, > CV*)':

I can find a 'Process.cpp' in my build, but not a 'Process.c'. Very strange - unfortunately, I don't have the exact same strawberry build as you. I have strawberry-5.10.0, along with a couple of other mingw-built perls (including perl-5.8.9). None of them create a 'Process.c' when building Win32::Process. And they all build Win32::Process-0.14 just fine. Cheers, Rob.

I have this bug too. I downloaded a fresh version of Strawberry 5.8.9, and tried to install the Catalyst bundle and got this invalid conversion error. My version of ExtUtils::ParseXS is 2.20. CPAN reported the latest as 2.2002, I've upgraded and I still get the same error. Eirik

Could you please try installing ExtUtils::ParseXS 2.20_05? There were fixes in 2.20_03 for const char * errors. From the CPAN shell: Show quoted text

cpan> install DAGOLDEN/ExtUtils-ParseXS-2.20_05.tar.gz

Thank you. David

I've released 2.20_04 to CPAN as 2.200401. That looks like it should more stable than 2.20_05 and contains the const char * fix.

This ticket likely should be closed. It's old. Strawberry version 5.22.0.1 is available as of this writing. -- Cheers, ZZ [ https://metacpan.org/author/ZOFFIX ]
