Yes, unfortunately it really is a requirement. But I'd be perfectly happy to just install 5.32 locally and use it for building the upstream biber (which is distributed as an archive created by PAR::Packer). I can delay releasing Cygwin's biber package until you're ready to update perl. Would it be easy for you to send me a cygport file that I could use for building my own perl 5.32? Ken

I think Prefix builds on Portage or rather is an extension on it, but Michael Haubenwallner should be able to tell you more if you are interested. So if Prefix does work on Cygwin, Portage certainly should as well. Portage is the package manager of Gentoo and Gentoo builds everything you install from source, on the system you are currently on. AFAUI, Prefix additionally makes it possible to build into a foreign installation and/or hosted by something other than Gentoo. So runnning Prefix on Cygwin will enable you to use Portage packages on Cygwin, but they will be built locally like on Gentoo by default.

Thank you, Achim. I can access https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Prefix . And I've also found an archive (maybe unofficial) http://wikigentoo.ksiezyc.pl/HOWTO_Gentoo_on_Cygwin.htm . Since it seems that 'Prefix' is different from 'Portage', I'm not sure that it's ok to replace only the citation. It might be desirable for README to mention 'Prefix' separately (as another project currently active?). Sorry for my ignorance of Gentoo... Regards, Lem

Let's try again: wiki dot gentoo dot org /wiki/Prefix/Cygwin If I ever find out who's responsible for this nonsense: Sending failed: 550 5.7.1 Reject for policy reason in response to .
