Hi,
I'm upgrading from Perl 5.8 to Perl 5.12.1. During the process I had to upgrade my Win32-File-VersionInfo package too.
During this process I have encountered problems:
First I dowloaded Win32-File-VersionInfo-0.03.tar.gz from cpan.org.
Then I have extracted it and ran Makefile.PL.
Then I tried to build it with the following command: mingw32-make. I have mingw 5.1.6.
Then I got an error message:
syntax error at -e line 1, near "'755')
"
Missing right curly or square bracket at -e line 1, at end of line
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.
mingw32-make: *** [pm_to_blib] Error 255
I have found errors in the Makefile, many curly left brackets were doubled and
LD = link had to be coorected to LD = gcc.
After correcting the Makefile by hand I could translate the code. (The corrected Makefile is attahed.)
The next step was mingw32-make install.
When I ran a small test try.pl (attached). I found an other error in Win32::File::VersionInfo :
Can't load 'C:/Perl/site/lib/auto/Win32/File/VersionInfo/VersionInfo.dll' for module Win32::File::VersionInfo: load_file:Invalid access to memory location at C:/Perl/lib/XSLoader.pm line 70.
at C:/Perl/site/lib/Win32/File/VersionInfo.pm line 15
Compilation failed in require at W:\balasd\pp\vi\VersionInfo\try.pl line 1.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at W:\balasd\pp\vi\VersionInfo\try.pl line 1.
The error was in line 255: VerLanguageName ( dw[foo], temp, 127 );
If I comment this line and insert: memset(temp,0,sizeof(temp)); than try.pl doesn't throw an error. I attached the modified VersionInfo.xs.
