Following up on the parrot-1.4.0 release check on cygwin the release errors are

rakudo is still not being able to be built without a parrot build_dir.
Building with installed parrot is unsupported, which means creating a
package which is reproducible is
impossible. Distros which do not have the policy to be reproducible to
create binary packages from the src might have more luck.
Sounds like you're just the man we need. There's a ticket that is
specifically dedicated to "Update configure script and makefiles for installed
Parrot".
http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Ticket/Display.html?id=63360
The latest patch (provided by me, but based on one by pmichaud) works
for me on Fedora 10. pmichaud's patch is guaranteed *not* to work on Windows.
I made the obvious changes, but we need some testing from a Windows person.
I know there are a number of other problems on Windows (have you
opened a ticket(s) for them), but I'd ask you to keep them out of this ticket
unless they're related to the changes needed to build on an installed Parrot.
Also, the patch I provided is against HEAD.
$ git rev-parse HEAD
7b81c0590b4c371ba32f9998a35be5c48d6039e3
I'm informed that the command above tells me the relevant revision ID.
Thanks,
