For some time I did automatic cpansmoke testing on cygwin for every new module (CPANPLUS, perldoc cpansmoke), and it turned out that almost none of the non cygwin-supported Win32 XS modules compile and work fine. Mostly because Win32 modules are written for nmake/msvc only and maintainers usually dont accept cygwin/mingw patches. libwin32 and Win32::GUI is doing fine but the cygwin patches are not yet accepted upstream. For libwin32 this will need some time. Win32::API has no callback support with the latest updates. For 0.26 there's a cygwin version. There's a statistic: http://testers.cpan.org/letter/W.html I believe I have to re-enable my cpansmoke filter for cygwin, because there're so many cygwin tests missing under the Win32 tree. -- Reini Urban http://xarch.tu-graz.ac.at/home/rurban/ http://phpwiki.org/ -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
