* [perl #82706] Tidy up README.win32 pod.Michael Stevens2011-01-241-18/+25
| | | | Surround http:// links with L<> and tidying up lists slightly.
* Always build with crypt() support on WindowsJan Dubois2010-12-071-10/+0
| | | | | | | | The sources did support to drop win32/fcrypt.c from a Perl distribution and build without a crypt() implementation to account for the paranoia around distribution of encryption technology. However sources and binaries have been released for at least 10 years with all the code in place, so there is not much point in making it configurable.
* Windows 95 Chainsaw MassacreJan Dubois2010-12-021-22/+14
| | | | | Remove all supporting code for Windows 9x and Windows NT. The minimum supported version is Windows 2000 now.
* Note that support for building with VC++ 2010 is not yet completeSteve Hay2010-11-181-1/+12

* Support Visual C++ 2010Steve Hay2010-11-181-20/+15
| | | | | Also add a couple of things to win32/makefile.mk which were only previously applied to win32/Makefile
* Don't mention Activeware Perl versionsJan Dubois2010-08-061-21/+0
| | | | | | All Win32::* modules on CPAN now build with standard toolchain commands; there is no need for "porting" or special build instructions anymore.
* Drop references to obsolete MinGW 1.x (gcc 2.95)Jan Dubois2010-08-061-48/+5
| | | | | | | There are know issues with that compiler versions, and the necessary fixes are no longer readily available, so stop claiming this is still a supported compiler. Just require gcc 3.2.x or later everywhere for MinGW support.
* Platform name is Windows, not Win32Jan Dubois2010-08-061-61/+42
| | | | | | Remove reference to old compilers and also use the current name "Windows SDK" instead of the older "Platform SDK" in most places. There is sill lots of chance for further improvements!

On 32-bit XP: MSVC++ 7.0 / dmake (uses win32/makefile.mk) MSVC++ 7.0 / nmake (uses win32/Makefile) Borland C++ 5.5.1 / dmake mingw.org's gcc-4.3.0 / dmake mingw.org's gcc-3.4.5 / dmake mingw-w64.sf's 32-bit gcc-4.4.3 / dmake (There's a bug with that last compiler on XP. The perl it builds on XP hangs on XP, but runs ok if copied across to Vista. I think this is unrelated to the patches - probably even unrelated to perl. Without these patches perl will not even build using that last compiler.) On 64-bit Vista: 32-bit MSVC++ 7.0 / nmake (uses win32/Makefile) 32-bit MSVC++ 7.0 / dmake (uses win32/makfile.mk) 32-bit Borland C++ 5.5.1 / dmake mingw.org's 32-bit gcc-4.4.0 / dmake mingw.org's 32-bit gcc-3.4.5 / dmake mingw-w64.sf's 32-bit gcc-4.4.3 / dmake mingw-w64.sf's 64-bit gcc-4.4.3 / dmake mingw-w64.sf's 64-bit x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc-4.4.3 / dmake 64-bit MicrosoftPlatform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2 / dmake (uses win32/makefile.mk) 64-bit MicrosoftPlatform SDK for Windows Server 2003 R2 / nmake (uses win32/Makefile) Not all of those builds pass all tests - but where the removal of the patches still permits perl to build, the same tests still fail. That is, *nothing* is lost by including these patches - but there are significant gains. Each of the above builds was done according to the normal win32 configuration parameters - ie multi-threaded, non debug. No unusual config settings were applied. (I did build one debug perl on Vista using mingw-w64.sf's 32-bit gcc-4.4.3 and it built fine.) Please feel free to apply these patches (with or without modification) - and, yes, you're more than welcome to blame me if they cause any breakages ;-) Of course, some of those compilers (Borland, Microsoft, and the compilers from mingw.org) already build perl *without* having to apply any patches. It's just the other compilers that need the patches. The purpose of testing with Borland, Microsoft, and the mingw.org compilers is just to check that these patches don't break them. As a final check, I've done a build on my aging linux (mandrake-9.1) box, gcc-3.2.2. I built with '-des -Duselongdouble -Duse64bitint -Dusedevel'. No problem with that, either. If there's additional testing requirements please let me know, and I'll try to oblige. I believe the patch applied successfully for me - see below my sig for the output.

* Fix the ext/IO/t/io_sock.t failure when built with VC++ 2005Steve Hay2007-05-251-6/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Unknown to me win32/win32.h was defining USE_FIXED_OSFHANDLE, which arranged for a black magic fix to MSVCRT.DLL's _open_osfhandle() to be used. It seems that this is inappropriate for VC++ versions later than 6.x, since they don't use that DLL: simply not defining that symbol makes the io_sock.t failure go away. (Compare change #29233, which similarly disabled the fix to MSVCRT.DLL's read() for VC++ versions later than 6.x.) p4raw-link: @29233 on //depot/perl: 46e77f111828d72136c91f0837803182535da01d p4raw-id: //depot/perl@31271

* Updates for building on Win32 with Visual C++ 2005 Express EditionSteve Hay2006-10-101-10/+57
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Add some instructions in README.win32, clarify macro comments and add missing macros to makefile.mk, and drop the GLOBEXEBUILD macro from Makefile--the Express Edition of Visual C++ 2005 is free and includes setargv.obj, so there is no need to support the .NET 2.0 SDK compiler which didn't include it. Unfortunately, the build still doesn't work yet--my attempt got as far as building extensions, but miniperl.exe crashed. Hopefully this can be sorted out soon. p4raw-id: //depot/perl@28978

* Make building perl on Win32 with the free VC++ toolkit easierSteve Hay2005-09-301-11/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce new CCTYPE's MSVC70FREE and MSVC70 for the free and the full versions of MS VC++ 7.x respectively. Perl can now be built with the free VC++ toolkit simply by running "nmake CCTYPE=MSVC70FREE" with no hacking of the win32/Makefile required. Update README.win32 with these changes. Also add the CCTYPE MSVC to win32/Makefile. This is already supported in win32/makefile.mk and is useful for avoiding the use of -DELAYLOAD for MS VC++ 3.x through 5.x. Update README.win32 for this too. p4raw-id: //depot/perl@25672
