I am also trying to fool around with cygwin, but I didn't even could produce a working Perl build :-( I'm trying to build the Perl 5.6.0 source tree under a precompiled cygwin install, and it seems everything goes well, I have a perl.exe but everytime it is launched it says that the application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005). should be something stupid like access denied to some shared library, but I can't track it down. BTW, I gave libmsvcrt.a to Configure when it was asking for my C library, dunno if it's correct... PS. this thread should probably be moved to the Perl-Win32-GUI-Hackers mailing list ;-) cheers, Aldo __END__ $_=q,just perl,,s, , another ,,s,$, hacker,,print;
