[Ming-dev] Invalid filenames on Win32

[Justin C. <ju...@sa...>]

Hi all,

Just started to look at building ming on Win32, in order to push out a 
development snapshot of Salasaga compiled for that platform.

Noticed that some of the files for the ming perl subdirectories contain 
':' in them.  i.e.

/ming/docs/perl/SWF::Action.html
/ming/docs/perl/SWF::Bitmap.html
/ming/docs/perl/SWF::Button.html
/ming/docs/perl/SWF::Constants.html
  (etc)

Colon isn't a valid character for filenames on Win32.  Unpacking any of 
the archives results in those files not being created, with error 
messages generated, and the same behaviour when checking out from cvs.

Perl isn't used by Salasaga, so it doesn't affect my app directly.

Thought it should be mentioned though, so someone who works on the perl 
side of things can look at it. :)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
