When it is, does that mean we should be able to build perl modules/utils that inter-operate with the native Win32 interface? I'll let Reini answer this one. No. To enable building for perl modules/utils that inter-operate with the native Win32 interface you just need the exact c/c++ compiler the cygwin perl was compiled with (see the perl cygwin README), plus gnu make and coreutils of course, plus the dependent packages. If some packages are dependent on some libwin32 package (libwin32 is just a bundle of useful Win32 packages) then you need the perl-libwin32 cygwin package, because building them by your own via CPAN is quite hard. In the next future the libwin32 team will try to incoorporate the current huge cygwin patch into each module step by step. Until this will be done, you'll have to live with the (yet unreleased) cygwin package. Of course building any Win32 package with gcc, which is not supported for cygwin nor mingw, is quite hard, since some Win32 package authors just assume that there only exist ActiveState perl (and MSVC / nmake). And don't accept patches for cygwin/mingw. -- Reini Urban http://xarch.tu-graz.ac.at/home/rurban http://phpwiki.org -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
