hsmyers has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
I recently switched to dmake and I now get some warnings that I haven't seen before that are apparently harmless, but I'd still like to know what is going on... I've read the makefile (not my forte) and it would seem that these are part of an attempt to keep backwards compatibility alive and well. That however is just a guess and I'd appreciate a more knowledgeable monk's explanation? Here is the dos box text:
This is ActiveState perl, v5.10.1 running under Vista Home Premium SP2 with 2.0GB of memory...C:\>makefile Set up gcc environment - 3.4.5 (mingw-vista special r3) Checking if your kit is complete...
