Alas I need a cygwin build. The cygwin parrot package is quite old at 0.8.1.
I'm surprised to have such difficulty building under cygwin. It seems that parrot $ make install-dev isn't installing the correct things, but I don't know what I'm looking for, that is, what it's failing to install correctly. To the unexperienced the build error provides no indication.

Reini Urban put them in. I don't not know about the current version number. But rakudo and parrot should build out of the box under Windows. You don't need cygwin. The last time I build Rakudo under Windows I installed: MinGW, git and subversion With that it builds out of the box the last time I tried it. If you need to build under cygwin, may be Reini Urban will help. -- Gerd
