Mark, As you probably know strawberry perl is using sezero's gcc toolchain build since approx April 2010. We use "nearly exactly" the original sezero's gcc 4.4.x toolchain - there are basically 2 things we have changed 1/ sezero's gcc builds ignore /include dir when searching for *.h files

Visiting http://sourceforge.net/projects/mingw-w64/files/Toolchains%20targetting%20Win32/Personal%20Builds/sezero_4.5_2001/ I see "gcc: 4.5.4-prerelease (svn r.180676 with patches)", so the "prerelease" part solves the mystery. Regards,   Sergei. - Original Message - > From: Mar

Just a note on standard 4.5.x / 4.6.x gcc and building Perl. For the tests, you have to drop libstdc++-6.dll into the 't' folder before running tests. Perl probably needs a patch to do this in the same way it copies libgcc_*.dll Note that it is having a shared c++ library that solves the excep
