Corinna, Works great! Good thing I just ran the test before blowing away the perl distribution because….
Unfortunately now I think I really screwed things up. I never did a snapshot install before. I followed the instructions in the FAQ. So now I am getting an incompatible error from ld looking at libcygwin.a when searching -lcygwin (I wanted to rebuild perl from scratch to make absolutely sure). I looked at the FAQ to see what I have to do to recover but couldn’t find any relevant notes. Help is welcome before I use the sledgehammer and run setup.exe again. — rich > On Feb 23, 2015, at 9:03 AM, Corinna Vinschen <corinna-cyg...@cygwin.com> > wrote: > > On Feb 23 07:59, Richard Elberger wrote: >> Awesome ;) Thanks so much I will keep a look out for it and verify on >> my end that the perl unit test works as expected. >> >> >>> On Feb 23, 2015, at 7:42 AM, Corinna Vinschen <corinna-cyg...@cygwin.com> >>> wrote: >>> >>> Hi Richard, >>> >>> On Feb 21 16:17, Richard Elberger wrote: >>>> Hello, >>>> >>>> I found this while trying to compile perl 5.20.1 on latest cygwin64 >>>> (just updated yesterday). >>>> >>>> Effectively, sigaddset is adding a signal along these lines.
