in reply to Warnings building Perl itself on Windows 64

I'm thinking I'm missing a flag setting somewhere.

No. Gobs of warnings is (unfortunately) quite normal when building Perl on Windows.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.

    BrowserUk is correct. The 32 bit build should be warningless, but the 64 bit build is a sea of cast warning. Make sure your terminal is a chain printer and not a puny dot matrix before your try compiling 64 bit VC Perl.
