Because of the problems I'm having compiling the perl module Compress-Zlib 1.08 and because the cygwin page (http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ported.html) lists a port of gcc2.95.2 (ftp://ftp.xraylith.wisc.edu/pub/khan/gnu-win32/cygwin/gcc-2.95.2/). (If this isn't a good compiler, please let me know, let me know how to uninstall it, how to install the proper one, and update your web page. For now, I'll assume it's the correct compiler, even though it installed into /H-i586-cygwin32/bin, and not /bin.) For some reason, cpp complains about an option (-remap) that isn't on the command line or in the makefile and eventually runs out of processes. I've tried running the gcc line standalone and I get the same effect, so the Makefile isn't causing the problem.. (I searched my system for multiple cygwin*.dll's and found only the correct one.) % make | & tee Make.out mkdir blib mkdir blib/lib mkdir blib/lib/Compress mkdir blib/arch mkdir blib/arch/auto mkdir blib/arch/auto/Compress mkdir blib/arch/auto/Compress/Zlib mkdir blib/lib/auto mkdir blib/lib/auto/Compress mkdir blib/lib/auto/Compress/Zlib mkdir blib/man3 cp Zlib.pm blib/lib/Compress/Zlib.pm AutoSplitting blib/lib/Compress/Zlib.pm (blib/lib/auto/Compress/Zlib) /usr/local/bin/perl -I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/cygwin -I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/ExtUtils/xsubpp -typemap /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/ExtUtils/typemap -typemap typemap Zlib.xs > Zlib.xsc && mv Zlib.xsc Zlib.c gcc -c -I/usr/local/include -fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/local/include -DUSEIMPORTLIB -O -DVERSION=\"1.08\" -DXS_VERSION=\"1.08\" -I/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.0/cygwin/CORE Zlib.c cpp: unrecognized option `-remap' cpp: unrecognized option `-remap' cpp: unrecognized option `-remap' cpp: unrecognized option `-remap' cpp: unrecognized option `-remap' cpp: unrecognized option `-remap' cpp: unrecognized option `-remap' cpp: unrecognized option `-remap' cpp: unrecognized option `-remap' cpp: unrecognized option `-remap' cpp: unrecognized option `-remap' cpp: unrecognized option `-remap' cpp: unrecognized option `-remap' cpp: unrecognized option `-remap' Thanks for your help, Steve Kelem -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
