I just built Perl on Win32 using the attached Makefile. The makefile might be peculiar in that USE_IMP_SYS is commented out, PERL_MALLOC not commented out and WIN64 is not commented out. I'm building on a 64 bit Windows 7 Professional system. The build seems to have gone well. I ran

nmake /f Makefile.RMK test

and got the following result​:

The test ../cpan/Module-Build/t/test_file_exts.t hung for a VERY long time, many minutes, so I aborted it and jimmied it to skip itself so that I could get to the rest of the tests.

What compiler are you using? (Is CCTYPE set correctly?)

I have long had a situation where various different tests (often
different ones on different runs, but always from amongst the same set
of culprits) hang indefinitely, and I find that most of the problems
go away if you simply redirect STDERR somewhere, e.g.

nmake test 2>nul

(or to a file instead of the NUL device if you want to see STDERR output).

What were the failures with GetShortPathName.t and Unicode.t?

Please can you send in the results of

..\perl harness -v ../cpan/Win32/t/GetShortPathName.t
..\perl harness -v ../cpan/Win32/t/Unicode.t

(both run from the t/ folder).

Sorry about the lack of attachment. It was my second submission, the first one had the attachment but went to the wrong place since I didn't use perlbug the first time. Also perlbug didn't give me an opportunity to attach anything and I forgot when it left me to send the message myself.

It's attached here.

I'm using VC++2008 Express. My Windows is also SP1.

Thanks. I've just tried building 5.18.2 using your makefile, although
with a full version of VS2008 since I don't have the Express version
installed right now. It built and passed all tests (with STDERR
redirected to NUL).

You didn't send the output from the two tests that failed for you. Are
the failures reproducible for you? If so then please send the output
of the following two commands, run from perl's t/ folder​:

..\perl harness -v ../cpan/Win32/t/GetShortPathName.t
..\perl harness -v ../cpan/Win32/t/Unicode.t

From richard.kandarian@lanl.gov

I did an nmake /f Makefile.RMK clean and then attempted to rebuild Perl in the same directory and it failed. Lots of very perly symbols were missing when attempting to link miniperl.exe.

So I moved that directory out of the way and re-extracted the source from the tarball and that problem went away.

Then I ran the tests and got the same results so they seem repeatable.

There is some more stuff regarding tests after these tests you requested.

Why is there a 'cygwin' in there? If this is a VC++ build then you
don't want Cygwin stuff going anywhere near it in case of
interference, especially if you have a Cygwin perl somewhere in the
PATH, but other Cygwin tools can occasionally screw up other tests
too.

What is your PATH set to? Just type "set PATH" in the same Command
Prompt that you did the build and ran the tests in. (Mine is just a
few standard Windows paths, plus whatever the VC++ setup script sets.)

These tests don't look good to me at all but I ran tem with ..\perl harness -v and they seem to be successful​:

This is all quite normal. Some of this noise should certainly be
silenced, but as long as the tests are passing then I wouldn't worry
too much.

From @steve-m-hay

I wonder if this is the same problem as #16804? Are you able to confirm whether 8dot3 filename creation is disabled on the drive on which you built perl and ran its tests?

Should this issue be closed? No recent activity and unless the reporter replies to Steve's query, it's not clear what the root cause of the problem was.

Currently known test failures due to 8dot3filename support being disabled should be fixed in the next stable perl release via:

• 2b8fc25 for Win32's GetShortPathName.t and Unicode.t
• When EUMM v7.49_04 (or a later build) is pulled in (assuming this happens prior to blead freeze) for EUMM's 02-dynamic.t.
