Once again I came across a small Makefile critter that blocks the build of Rakudo Star 2012-08 on Cygwin. It appears that Star uses the 2012.08 tag for NQP in Rakudo Star which is the following commit with, what would appear to be, a small oversight: https://github.com/perl6/nqp/commit/fff3eb81c0df3619e6ddecd56e7e245127603d58 The commit removes P5QREGEX_PBC from part of the build process but leaves it around in tools/build/Makefile.in on line 539 for the install target. This breaks on cygwin because, for reasons related to a known problem, cygwin does cp a bit differently and returns a failing return code to make. Anyway a "-" just before rule on that line to ignore the return code fixes the problem and allowed me to finish building Rakudo Star on cygwin through "make install". Removing the line appears to work too although I have not tested completely.
