Re^4: How to make Win32::OLE work on Cygwin (cpan -i -T Win32::OLE)

Hello,

I am running perl 5.14 and I am also having the same issue during Win32-OLE-0.1712 installation.

I am unable to understand the solution. Could you please explain how to resolve this problem? Thank you.

Issue:

error: ‘stricmp’ was not declared in this scope In OLE.xs, prior to building the module, change the one occurrence of `stricmp` to `strcmp`. That allows the module to compile and pass its tests - on my Cygwin, at least. Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l] [select]
