Re: [perl-win32-gui-users] Win32-GUI-1.07 released + migrated from CVS to GIT

[kmx <km...@at...>]

Win32-GUI-1.07 works with 32bit cygwin (I have tested old v1.5 and v1.7)

There are some issues with 64bit cygwin:

1/ Win32-GUI-Constants/hash/perfect.c
   - "long  int" is not 4 bytes (as on both 32/64bit MSWin32) but 8 bytes 
long on cygwin64
   - I hope that changing "long int" > "int" might be the right fix

2/ GUI.xs uses cygwin_conv_to_win32_path
  - it was deprecated and should be replaced by cygwin_conv_path(..)

3/ after patching 1/ + 2/ Win32::GUI compiles but fails approx. 25 tests 
(so perhaps my patch was not completely correct)

I'll try to do more research and commit necessary patches to git repo.

Could meanwhile somebody try to build latest Win32::GUI with MS compiler?
