How to compile Jcode.pm on Windows 2000


© 2000.8.2, 2005.1.22 TAKAHASHI Makoto
Jcode.pm - a successor to jcode.pl is provided to support Japanese character. To improve performance, XS module was supported, but load module for Windows are not provided. Only source is provided. This is report of compilation by VC++ 6.0 and load module is also available here.

About conversion table

Conversion table of Jcode.pm is almost same as JIS X 0208 (1990) to Unicode of Unicode Consortium (updated 1994). This table, as Unicode Consortium itself agree, is different from current industry practice. In Unicode 5.0, U+301C is said,

This character was encoded to match JIS C 6226-1978 1-33 “wave dash”. The JIS standards and some industry practice disagree in mapping.

If so, conversion table should be chaged. But there must be some reason which could not be explained no to do so. Table below shows every program which is updating are not using table of 1994.

To justify conversion table of Jcode.pm to “industry practice” c:\Jcode\unicode\euc2uni.h c:\Jcode\unicode\uni2euc.h were changed as tables below. These tables are obtained from Jcode-0.88.zip.

*1 In CP932 02-23 is mapped to U+FF5E. But U+FF5E is mapped to 01-33 also. So 02-23 is changed to map to Small Tilde of Spacing Modifier Letters:U+02DC.

Compilation

After installing Visual C++ 6.0, you will need to run the VCVARS32.BAT file usually found somewhere like C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\bin. This will set your build environment.

C:>cd \Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\bin
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\bin>vcvars32.bat
Setting environment for using Microsoft Visual C++ tools.

Then move to folder where jcode.pm was expanded, and execute perl makefile.pl. 
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\bin>cd \

C:\>cd jcode-0.88
C:\jcode-0.88>perl makefile.pl

Download

Compiled modules and necessary modules are in one compressed file. Download jcwin-0.88.zip.
  In Perl 5.8 Jcode.pm was included as encode. But jcwin8-0.88.zip is also available.

Expand it with directory and specify volume where perl was installed.

Diff file in jcodediff.zip is also available.
