When I try to compile perl on windows 8.1 64bit with Microsoft visual studio 2015 I have this error:

Can you try the following?

1. Fetch the jkeenan/132802-mktables branch from the Perl 5 git repository.

2. Issue the following commands (changing from Unix to Win32 equivalents as needed).

git checkout jkeenan/132802-mktables git clean -dfx ./Configure -des -Dusedevel nmake

3. At the point where nmake fails\, try running this:

./miniperl -Ilib lib/unicore/mktables -w -C lib/unicore -P pod -maketest -makelist 1>miniperl.output.txt 2>&1

4. On Linux\, if I run 'make' to conclusion then run the command above\, I get output like this:

That may or may not help with diagnosing this problem.

Thank you very much.

Also\, do you have any idea as to when you were last able to build perl successfully on this platform?

If so\, you could try bisecting with something like this (assuming you knew that tag v5.27.4 built okay): ##### perl Porting/bisect.pl --start=v5.27.4 #####

Thank you very much.

I've done a git reset --hard on the makefile I've used to build perl. Then I've created a new branch and rebuild perl again with\, I think\, the same modifications in the makefile. Now the compilation seems ok even though test fails. I don't know where the problem was\, maybe in the makefile. I'm sorry if you loose time with me but it's my first time i build perl from source.

I've never tried to build perl from source on Windows\, but I've been building perl from source on various Unix-ish platforms for years. At no time have I ever had to tinker with the content of the makefile. I've rarely had to peer into the content of 'makefile' or 'Makefile'.

Moreover\, since the generated 'makefile' and 'Makefile' (on Linux\, at least) are not under version control\, I'm puzzled as to what effect 'git reset --hard' would have.

Thank you very much.

Under Windows Makefile is *not* automatically generated and there's no such thing as 'Configure'. Makefile is located in win32/Makefile or win32/GNUMakefile.

Windows build process is documented in perlwin32

Yes\, it's true. I think the ticket can be close. Maybe I did some mistakes in the Makefile.
