Bug #89440 for dmake: broken with Mingw on ActivePerl

Sun Oct 13 18:09:32 2013 BULKDD [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Subject:	broken with Mingw on ActivePerl

TLDR: PPM dmake thinks its running on a VC machine, this is wrong, anyone with VC will be using nmake, people who download the dmake PPM package are also downloading the Mingw package for their ActivePerls (since if it was strawberry both are included). PPM/CPAN dmake must default to a Mingw setup, not VC. If the writing in this ticket is exceptionally incoherent, I'm not myself ATM. I recently got this CPAN testers report. The build system on this machine http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/7c445206-6e6d-1014-ac79-55795be8bcae tried to run $(AS), which is defined as "masm" instead of "as[.exe]". For macros like CC, LD, and AR, those are defined by MakeMaker from $Config in the makefile in section Show quoted text

_________________________________________ # --- MakeMaker const_config section: # These definitions are from config.sh (via C:/sperl/perl/lib/Config.pm). # They may have been overridden via Makefile.PL or on the command line.

_________________________________________ but AS is not defined by MakeMaker and it will fallback to the make tool's builtins. On strawberry perl, this isn't a problem, since the dmake included with SP is setup for Mingw. The dmake PPM package at http://ppm4.activestate.com/MSWin32-x64/5.16/1600/-/--/MINGW64/ is set up for VC (although that is debatable because VC's assembler is "ml" or "ml64" not "masm", "masm" is from before 1991, "Earlier versions of the Microsoft Macro Assembler were named MASM.EXE and the Microsoft Assembler is still generally referred to as MASM even though the file name for the assembler was changed to ML.EXE in 1991 with the release of MASM version 6.0." http://www.masm32.com/history.htm ). Also since the dmake PPM package is under AS's private namespace, I'm not sure if Steve Hay or Jan are responsible for changes to fix the issue in this ticket. So Jan gets CCed too. the dmake cpan package says in its readme

__________________________________________________ You can change the default platform in the startup\config.mk file (the defaults, despite appearances, are set up for MS VC++ 6 on Windows NT/2000/XP etc.). If you change the defaults, you'll need to make sure the subdirectories you name in startup\config.mk are populated with setup files (you can use the current hierarchy as a model).

__________________________________________________ Ive attached the folder layouts of strawberry perl dmake vs PPM dmake. I've also attached verbose logs of a building attempt, the .mk contents of a strawberry dmake vs the PPM dmake. The reason for the Mithaldu section title is the PPM dmake is on Mithaldu's machine, not mine. The file startup\startup.mk which is on both SP and PPM dmake, the file on PPM dmake is overriden later by the file startup\win95\microsft\macros.mk which turns the setup from Mingw to VC (or really Microsoft C for MSDOS). -V of the Perl in question

Thanks for the report. I could not reproduce the failure shown in the cpantesters report that you cited: Win32-API-0.76_03 (and 0.77) builds fine for me using MinGW-w64's gcc-4.8.0 + dmake-4.12-20090907-SHAY and perl-5.19.10 (built with the same gcc/dmake): see attached build/test output. So I'm not sure why the cpantesters report had the failure it did. Is something different in ActivePerl and/or the PPM dmake? I didn't spend any time investigating that, but I agree that it would be more sensible for this dmake build to default to a MinGW/gcc setup anyway (there's no reason why VC++ users can't use dmake, of course, but they're almost certainly going to be using nmake instead), so I have made the change in the new version that I've just uploaded: dmake-4.12.2-20140329-SHAY.

The CPAN indexer has just refused to accept my new upload for some reason. I'm chasing that with Andreas right now, but in the meantime, I'm attaching the new version here in case you want to take a look.

I forgot to mention its only on x64 GCC Win32 Perl. So try a 64 bit ActivePerl with dmake/GCC, probably AP 5.16 is the best bet since IDK what AS did in 5.18 regarding their dmake (they switched to GCC from VC, so maybe they use a different branch/resynced their dmake to somewhere). 32 bit, GCC, Win32::API doesn't use an assembler app, so that is why nothing failed for you.

Ok, I can now reproduce the bug using MinGW-w64's **x64** gcc + dmake-4.12-20090907-SHAY to build perl and Win32-API. And the good news is that 4.12.2-2014-03-29-SHAY fixes it (see below). So now it's just a matter of getting the new build up onto CPAN. Hopefully Andreas can help me sort that out soon. C:\Dev\Temp\Win32-API-0.76_03>perl Makefile.PL Checking if your kit is complete...

I've raised an issue on PAUSE's GitHub issue tracker for this: https://github.com/andk/pause/issues/110 As someone has pointed out there, the upload is actually on metacpan.org: https://metacpan.org/release/SHAY/dmake-4.12.2-20140329-SHAY It doesn't come up in metacpan.org search results, though, and in fact search.cpan.org has the same problem -- search doesn't find it, but it is there!: http://www.cpan.org/authors/id/S/SH/SHAY/

At the suggestion of others on that github issue, I've now uploaded a new version which claims the "dmake" name (via the META.yml file) so that it gets indexed, and changed the version number to a CPAN::Meta::Spec-compliant number, namely 4.12.2.2 to indicate that it's my second build of 4.12.2 (which is the kind of numbering used by Strawberry Perl amongst many others). This version now shows up in searches on both search.cpan.org and metacpan.org.
