[pmqs]

Root cause is in Makefile.PL -- the constant ZLIBNG_VER_STATUS is assumed to be an integer. zlib-ng documents the macro as

#define ZLIBNG_VER_STATUS F         /* 0=devel, 1-E=beta, F=Release */

[todd-richmond]

This patch works for me w/ zlib-ng 2.1.3. Please post a new CPAN release

[pmqs]

It's in the works @todd-richmond. Need to deal with a MacOS failure first.

[kloczek]

Any update about fix of that issue? 🤔
BTW it looks like the same issue is in perl 5.38.1.

[pmqs]

Hey @kloczek, thanks for the ping. Will try to get it done this week.

Hey @kloczek, thanks for the ping. Will try to get it done this week.

Thanks, wasn't aware of the Perl 5 issue

[pmqs]

version 2.205 just uploaded to CPAN with the fix for this issue.

[kloczek]

Tested new version and looks like issue has been solved.
Thank you 👍
