Hi, I am trying to compile perl 5.004_04 on my win95 system and it
eventually gives me this error:

bash gcc2   -o miniperl miniperlmain.o libperl.a -lcygwin -lm -lc
-lkernel32
libperl.a(pp_sys.o)(.text+0x6ec5):pp_sys.c: undefined reference to
`getnetbyname
'
libperl.a(pp_sys.o)(.text+0x6f47):pp_sys.c: undefined reference to
`getnetbyaddr
'
libperl.a(pp_sys.o)(.text+0x6f55):pp_sys.c: undefined reference to
`getnetent'
libperl.a(pp_sys.o)(.text+0x713f):pp_sys.c: undefined reference to

libperl.a(pp_sys.o)(.text+0x76c7):pp_sys.c: undefined reference to
`endservent'
make: *** [miniperl] Error 1

I tried to add the library libwsock32.a to the list of dependencies to
pp_sys.c but it still didnt work.  Can anyone help me.

I also have a tip for anyone trying to compile perl on a win95 system
ctrl-z allows you to answer every question when you run the configure
script.  and for some reason I kept getting a permission denied when the
configure script calls the gcc2 wrapper script I entered bash gcc2 as
the compiler.
