[Patch] Win32 Parrot_floatval_time Improved (1/1)

Firstly, 8am code this morning builds on Win32 without problem, other than configure.pl not knowing that link is the linker (which appears to be down to ActiveState not knowing). Thanks to Hong Zhang ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) for pointing out the GetSystemTimeAsFileTime API. Also adjusts zero time

Win32 build and WINVER

2001-11-04 Thread Richard J Cox
Currently for a Win32 build WINVER is not being set, this leads to it being set in Windef.h (included by Windows.h) to 0x0500, or "build for Windows 2000". This is OK, until (for whatever) reason a Win2k only API is called, at which point the built exe will not run on earlier versions of Windo

Current get fails to build on Win32[1] There are a host of problems (not the least being the object files not going where the linker is expecting them), then aside the first is the lack of a gettimeofday function. This is used in time_n. Here's my Win32 version: void gettimeofday(struct timev
