Yep, I am using latest/greatest and have also patched my libcygwin.a >Also, I have submitted 4 patches to perl5-porters since perl-5.6.0 >was released (and they are in the latest perl-current tree): > > http://www.egroups.com/message/perl5-porters/67725 > http://www.egroups.com/message/perl5-porters/69079 > http://www.egroups.com/message/perl5-porters/69270 > http://www.egroups.com/message/perl5-porters/71082 Yesterday I only found two patches (Patch 3 and Patch 4) because I looked on another mirror of the list. Unfortunately I cannot uudecode patch and patch1, (funny, also patch3 and 4 are corrupt) there are lines in the message that seem to lack one or two chars. The output of uudecode is corrupted because of this. Perhaps you can send me the patches to michael DOT ring AT t-mobil DOT de and michael-ring AT t-online DOT de so I can apply them and generate a single patchfile for cygwin. >With what I described above, assuming you accept all the >defaults to Configure (run as Configure -de) Perl builds >cleanly on my machine (in spite of the unnecessary reference >to -lm). Hmm... I did a clean install from sources.redhat.com yesterday; strange..... But I only applied (manually) the contents of patch3 and patch4, perhaps the secret is somewhere in patch or patch1 >Anyway, I have no idea why you are seeing linker errors. > >Hope this helps. >Eric Fifer Yes, it did! Thank you very much! Have you ever thought about maintaining binaries on cygwin?? I do ask this question because I am somewhat in a dilemma: I can provide a complete build-system to create rpm's and I want to make it official on sources.redhat.com but for everything to work I need perl. But if i provide perl I should also maintain it, but I am not capable of doing this because I am only using perl when there is an absolute need. This is not the best basis for maintaining a package. Cheers, Michael Ring P.S.: I will post this message to sources later, the mail server of my company is on ORBS so I can only mail to the list from @home. -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
