not ok: 6529 on NT - Githubissues

From pvhp@best.com

The test ran fine even on a FAT32 file system:

All tests successful\, 23 tests and 138 subtests skipped. Files=246\, Tests=11706\, 255 wallclock secs ( 0.00 cusr + 0.00 csys = 0.00 CPU)

However\, there appears to be a target missing from the win32/Makefile used by nmake. Namely:

C:\6529\perl\win32>nmake okfile

NMAKE : fatal error U1073: don't know how to make 'okfile' Stop.

C:\6529\perl\win32>nmake ok

NMAKE : fatal error U1073: don't know how to make 'ok' Stop.

There seems to be a problem with the README.$osname -> perl$osname.pod in the "utils" target in the win32/Makefile since the copying gets done as part of `nmake test` as well as `nmake okfile` etc. Perhaps there ought to be an EXTRA_PODS macro and a set of rules to take individual files over such as the following example:

perlamiga.pod : README.amiga cd ..\pod copy ..\README.amiga .\perlamiga.pod cd ..\win32

By the way the release date has not been updated in the perlbug in 6529 since I obtained:

..\perl.exe -I..\lib ..\utils\perlbug -ok -s "(UNINSTALLED)" "perlbug -ok" and "perlbug -nok" do not report on Perl versions which are more than 60 days old. This Perl version was constructed on Thu Mar 23 12:45:14 2000. If you really want to report this\, use "perlbug -okay" or "perlbug -nokay".

So I edited perlbug to generate this report :-)

I'd appreciate hearing from some certified win32 porters if this patch is OK (or even desirable: this might generate a lot of perl bug traffic mightn't it?). Note especially that this does not address the dmake makefile.mk file at all but only the nmake Makefile (sorry dmake users :-(
