Subject:	Re: Perl/Tk with patches no long compiles with CygWin v1.3.1
References:	<12F176DD950ED411B68E0050DA14ED10338754 AT jupiter DOT gunzphoto DOT com DOT au>

Hey Neil,

Good news, your suggested change to the Perl Config.pm file to include the
new /usr/lib/w32api directory fixed the compile problem.  That is,
compiling Perl/Tk with gcc 2.95.3-4, binutils 20010425-1, and your patch
does not work until the Perl Config.pm includes the /usr/lib/w32api
directory.

To confirm this, I did a brand new CygWin v1.3.1 (latest files as of
4/27/01) and repeated the process.  Again, only after making the Config.pm
change, Perl/Tk compiled and ran with no problems.

Thank you for your time and help,

-victor
