From: gmarzot AT baynetworks DOT com (Joe Marzot) Subject: getting Perl5 to compile under gnu-win32 1 Nov 1996 11:21:32 -0800 Sender: daemon AT cygnus DOT com Approved: cygnus DOT gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com Distribution: cygnus Message-ID: Original-To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com X-Mailer: Gnus v5.2.2/Emacs 19.31 Original-Sender: owner-gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com A while back I read some info on difficulties in getting perl to compile under the gnu-win32 environment. If I remember correctly some of the obstacles were related to not being able to run "Configure" and also something about softlinks. (sorry this is hazy). Does anyone have any additional(clearer) info on the obstacles to getting Perl5 to compile. Also I have heard about the Linux cross-compile approach currently used for the compile tools themselves. Might this be a solution to the problem. Thanks for any info. -GSM -- Giovanni S. Marzot Senior Software Engineer Bay Networks Inc.
