[perl-win32-gui-hackers] Commit Win32::GUI::DropFiles

[Robert M. <rm...@po...>]

All,

Over the last week or so you'll have seen a number of commits from me - 
this was all heading towards being able to commit the 
Win32::GUI::DropFiles code that I've been working on.

The currently committed code bases compiles and all tests pass under the 
following environments:

Platform  Perl           Compiler
win98     AS Perl 5.6.1  MS VC6/nmake
win98     AS Perl 5.6.1  gcc 3.4.5 (mingw-special)/name
win98     cygwin  5.8.7  gcc 3.4.4 (cygming-special)/nmake
win98     AS Perl 5.8.7  MS VC6/nmake
win98     AS Perl 5.8.7  gcc 3.4.5 (mingw-special)/name
win2k     AS Perl 5.6.1  MS VC7/nmake
win2k     AS Perl 5.6.1  gcc 3.4.2 (mingw-special)/name
win2k     cygwin  5.8.7  gcc 3.4.4 (cygming-special)/nmake
win2k     AS Perl 5.8.7  MS VC7/nmake
win2k     AS Perl 5.8.7  gcc 3.4.2 (mingw-special)/name

I hope that the implementation committed conforms to what we discussed 
on this list some weeks ago now - I think it does, and it includes a 
pretty comprehensive test suite.

There is one problem that I have encountered with the build process: 
under AS Perl 5.6.1 ExtUtils::MakeMaker has a bug (EU::MM v5.45 that is 
fixed in EU::MM v5.47).  If you want to build under AS perl 5.6.1 you'll 
need to upgrade your EU:MM - alternatively I can point out how to 
manually edit the generated Makefile to fix both the subdirs and test 
targets.

As always, any reports of success and/or failure are welcome.

Regards,
Rob.
