I have just managed to build perl5.003 (at least, the executables are =
there) but I'm stuck with "make install" because after copying the .exes =
to their directory the "installperl" script dies at some arbitrary point =
with the message
	fork_helper: child died before initialization with win32 error 128
Error 128 has the  message
	There are no child processes to wait for.
Is this a timing problem in cygwin.dll (the install script spits out a =
lot of shells)? Any workarounds?

Regards
Karl

Subject: 	What libs are these functions in?

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----


Hello!=20


I'm attempting to port the Tiny Fugue MU* client using gnu-win32 and =
after=20

an hour or so of messing with the configure script have hit a few brick =
walls.


The script says it's unable to find a number of functions and that I =
should=20

worry about it, but I tend to think that I need these functions...  If=20

anyone could tell me what library I should include to get these =
functions,=20

I'd be very grateful!


connect

gethostbyname

h_errno

hsterror

srandom

strcmpi

stricmp


Also, this program would prefer to use the termcap libraries.  Are these =


ported completely anywhere or should I just tell the thing to use =
hardcoded=20

ANSI or VT100?


Finally, as the program is compiling tty.c which is responible for the =
low=20

level screen calls, it bombs on TCSETAF being undefined. =20


The code looks like:


#ifdef USE_TERMIO      /* with a few macros, this looks just like=20

USE_TERMIOS */

# ifdef hpux                                   /* hpux's termio is=20

different. */

#  undef USE_TERMIO

#  define USE_HPUX_TERMIO

#  include <<sys/ioctl.h>

#  include <<termio.h>

#  include <<bsdtty.h>

# else

#  define USE_TERMIOS

#  include <<termio.h>

# endif

# define tty_struct struct termio

# define insetattr(buf) (ioctl(0, TCSETAF, (buf)))

# define ingetattr(buf) (ioctl(0, TCGETA, (buf)))

# define insetattr_error "TCSETAF ioctl"

# define ingetattr_error "TCGETA ioctl"

#endif


I'm relatively certain that these are some part of the tty specific=20

routines.  The last time I tried this (back on b14) I just set them as=20

SOMETHING.  It didn't work very well...  Does anyone know what .h file =
would=20

have this in it or what it should be defined as?



Thank you very much!
