From: trainham AT onr DOT com (Brad Trainham) Subject: Building "native" perl 6 Mar 1998 22:16:04 -0800 Message-ID: <199803032252.QAA25841.cygnus.gnu-win32@sierra.onr.com> To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com I know there was a thread earlier about building native perl. I downloaded perl 5.004_04 from www.perl.com. I followed the directions pertaining to win32. I did notice the gcc2 and ld2 scripts were readonly, and of course, I had to open them up to change them. I copied the hints/cygwin32.sh to the config.sh in the root directory and made certain all the paths and variables were set properly. The script bombs when it is verifying the existence of gcc2. I get a permission denied error, and then the shell advises me to find my gcc compiler. At this point, I have several other perl alternatives, and am mainly doing this to familiarize myself with the whole process of using make and creating a massive executable. Any ideas?
