Thanks. It's a build script error, but harmless. I'll fix it with the next update. > I had the impression that symbolic link of dll does not work on cygwin > due to MS constrain Yes, but I use it the other way. The MS loader picks up the dll in /usr/bin because it's in the PATH, and cygwin gcc / ld (the linker) picks up the symlink in <archlib>/CORE, where it is expected. This way I get around the import lib in most cases and can support multiple perl variants without name conflicts. -- Reini Urban http://cpanel.net/ http://www.perl-compiler.org/ -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
