One of the lines in "Config.pm" is "archlibexp => '/usr/lib/perl5/5.8/cygwin'" Also "tclConfig.sh" has the line "TCL_STUB_LIB_PATH='/usr/lib/libtclstub84.a'"
Just for clarification. I have a clean install of cygwin with the packages necessary to attempt a build of rrdtool. "rrdtool" is the only software I have that did not come from the cygwin setup. "Perl" and "TCL" can't find several functions from the following packages: libartlgpl2, libpng12-devel & libfreetype2-devel. If I only disable "TCL", I get the same "undefined reference" errors from "PERL". The configure script finds the libraries with no dificulty and if I attempt a build by disabling "TCL" and "PERL" it works. The only way I can get "PERL" to be included is by using the option "LINKTYPE=static", but I'm not sure of the consequences of that action.
Some of the errors are "undefined reference to `_art_vpath_add_point'", "undefined reference to `_FT_Done_Glyph'" & "undefined reference to `_png_create_write_struct'"
I tried copying the contents of the "/lib" directory to "/usr/lib" and "/usr/local/lib" as an attempted workaround. This however did not solve the problem. Even if this is a problem with "rrdtool", it doesn't explain the "Config.pm" and "tclConfig.sh" files.
If I am wrong and this is a problem with "rrdtool", please let me know and I will address it with them instead. I did try this with the latest version 1.2.26 and an older version 1.2.15 with the same results.
Attached is the output of the perl command line Robert sent. I wish cygwin would use forums instead of a mailing list. Thanks, Etienne----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Kiesling" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
