Definative Answers: VS08 vs VS10 & perl 5.10 vs 5.12 vs 5.14

[sorvani]

Visual Studio 2008 works fine for everything with Perl 5.10 or 5.12 I never bothered to try it with 5.14

Visual Studio 2010 is reported to have a problem with Perl 5.10/5.12

I personally never tried anything else. When I tested a VS2010 build, I just used 5.14

The issue you linked is only if you're using Visual Studio 2010 but for whatever reason have decided to tell it to use the older compiler. There's no good reason to do so, and you actually have to work to be able to do it.

If you do, I would suspect it's the same issue that people using 2008 have with Perl 5.14.

ok, nevermind...I can't edit my first post and start to put the useful information up there for people who are curious. And delete the linux mention in there so we don't have a bone.

PERFECT example

I just tried VS2010 and sln10, 5.14, x86 and it did NOT work. While everything compiles, Zone.exe crashed and could never load. But, had to put a dependancy on queryserv to ucs build first.

Secondly, tried sln10 5.12 and VS2010 did not work. So there, another good answer. So, to use VS2010 you have to use 5.14 but it will make your zones chain crash.

Solution:
Use VS2008 and 5.10

FWIW: For me the conflict was trying Perl 5.14 on Win X86. Had the same deal with zone.exe crashing using Perl 5.14 X86, but I built successfully for X86 with VS2010 and Perl 5.12 (MySQL 5.1.62 X86).

On the other hand, everything works like a top using VS2010 building for Win X64 with Perl 5.14 X64 and MySQL 5.1.62 X64.

how did you do that? I tried 5.12 and it kept saying can't find perl5114.lib and couldn't compile world/zone. Did you comment out something, somewhere?
