-This document is obsolete. Refer to README.cygwin32. However, if you want
-to build a statically linked perl binary, then you applied the wrong patch.
-You want perl5.005_03-static-patch, which will build "Pre-release 1"

-
-The perl source distribution is available from
- http://www.cpan.org/src/index.html
-
-For the easiest build of perl under Cygwin, do the following:

-(2) prepare the source
- (a) unpack perl source distribution in /usr/local/src
- (b) copy perl5.005_03-static-patch into /usr/local/src/perl5.005_03/
- (c) cd /usr/local/src/perl5.005_03

-
-Here are a few hints for building perl with cygwin:
-
-(1) There have been some problems compiling with the default compiler
-installed with cygwin-b20.1. If you're reading this file, then you've
-already applied perl5.005_03-static-patch. Some of the patches in
-perl5.005_03-static-patch attempt to correct these problems, but it
-would probably be a good idea to upgrade your compiler to egcs-1.1.1
-(or better) from Mumit Khan's website --
-http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/gnu-win32/
-
-(2) To avoid some failures when doing a "make test", use CYGWIN=ntea
-while testing. However, see the Cygwin FAQ concerning the use of ntea
-with FAT partitions. The tests that fail are those that deal with file
-ownership and access.
-
-(3) Perl should build without trouble under text mounts or binary
-mounts. However, some tests ("make test") may fail when using text
-mounts. The tests that fail are those that involve using tie() to
-attach a hashtable variable to a file.
-
-(4) There have been a few hints that some tests may also fail depending
-on whether you're building, testing, and/or installing as a normal
-user, or as a member of the Administrators group (NT only). However,
-we're not sure about this one yet.
-
-(5) When compiling static modules for perl, don't mix modules compiled
-under text mounts and modules compiled under binary mounts.
-
-(6) The sourcefiles in the tarball extract as "-r--r--r--" by default.
-This may or may not cause problems, depending on your setup. To be safe,
-I executed "chmod -R +w *".
-
-(7) To make life easier, you should download install-cygwin-b20.sh from
-ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/
- porters/Humblet_Pierre_A/
-and use it as your install "executable." Just follow the instructions
-that are embedded as comments in that shell script.
-
-(8) There were a number of failed operations when installing. These
-occurred in two cases: first, when trying to create man pages whose
-names had ":" in them -- i.e. man/man3/Tie::Array.3, and second,
-when copying the pod files from SRCDIR/pod/*.pod to
-/usr/local/lib/perl5/perl5.00503/pod/. I'm not sure why, but I just
-completed that operation by hand afterwards.
-
-RESULTS:
-****************************************************
-
-I built and tested as a normal user (not Administrator and not a member
-of the Administrators group). However, I had to
-'chown -R cwilson /usr/local/*' in order to avoid various NTisms.
-(Previously, my /usr/local tree was owned by the Administrators GROUP,
-and since I was building as a normal user, I couldn't install
-completely. Why didn't I just switch to the Administrator account to
-install? Well, that has its own share of problems: basically, the
-Administrator couldn't write to those directories either - they were
-owned by the Admin group, not the Admin user. And the permissions were
--rw-r--r-- (or -r--r--r--), so group members weren't allowed write
-access. Blame MS.)

-
-These are the steps I took to build the latest development
-version of Perl (5.005.53) under the Windows 95 & Window 98
-operating system using Cygnus' Cygwin Win32 ports of the GNU
-development tools.
-
-The release of the Cygwin32 tools used was B20.1. These tools
-can be found at:
-
- http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin
-
-Install Cygwin32 as described on the Cygnus web site. Additionally
-you should mount /bin as described in the following document:
-
- http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/cygwin-ug-net/setup-mount.html
-
-Note that the mount command shown in their example should appear on a
-single line:
-
- mount C:/cygnus/cygwin-b20/H-i586-cygwin32/bin /bin
-
-You must run the described build process below under the Cygwin32
-'bash' shell.
-
-In the following <PERL> will refer to the perl source/build
-directory. <INST> will refer to the perl target/install directory.
-
-* Pre-build checklist:
-
- - I found that building Perl on a unmounted partition/drive other
- than the root will fail. It appears that the double forward slash
- that Cygwin32 uses to reference drives other than the root drive
- (typically C:) gets converted to a single forward slash at several
- points in the build process. I have not tried, but expect it would
- work, to mount the non-root drive. This problem held true for both
- the drive where the perl source were and the drive where the
- Cygwin32 binaries where located. In the build described in these
- notes the Perl source and Cygwin32 binaries were located on the
- root drive.
-
- - Following the instructions in <PERL>/README.cygwin32:
-*******CSW********
-apply the patch, first
-******************
-
- + Copy the contents of the <PERL>cygwin32 directory to <PERL>
-
- + Edit the 'ld2' & 'gcc2' scripts to reflect the build path <PERL>
-
- + Either move 'ld2' & 'gcc2' to a directory on your path or add
- <PERL> to you path.
-
- - Edit <PERL>/hints/cygwin32.sh:
-
- + Add the following lines to the script:
-*******CSW********
-the patch does this
-******************
- i_stdarg='define'
- i_varargs='undef'
-
- This change allows us to pick up the right version of
- va_start(). Cygwin32 has both a signal and double parameter
- versions floating around in their header files.
-
- + Remove support for dynamic linking. I found that all
- DynaLoader'd extensions crashed during the running of the
- test suite. Add or edit 'usedl' entry to read:
-*******CSW********
-the patch does this
-******************
- usedl='n'
-
- If there is enough push I will try to sort out the problems with
- dynamic loading. I have made several unsuccessful attempts at
- modifying <PERL>/perlld to fix this problem. If you are
- interested, write me.
-
- + Change the path to the Cygwin32 directories. This includes the
- entries for 'usrinc', 'libpth', 'lddlflags', 'libc' and
- 'usrinc'.
-*******CSW********
-the patch does this ^
-******************
-
- - Edit makedepend.SH. The original version of makedepend.SH produces
- dependencies that include double backslashes. This can not be
- processed by Cygwin32's 'make'. Apply the following modification
- to makedepend.SH to correct these unfortunate filenames:
-*******CSW********
-and this, as well \/

- The real source of the problem appears that the 'make depend' in the
- 'x2p' directory has problems. The following messages are generated
- by that 'make depend':
-
- Finding dependencies for hash.o.
- gcc2: Can't open gcc2
- ... [similar messages to above]
- You don't seem to have a proper C preprocessor. Using grep
- instead.
- Updating GNUmakefile...
-
- So the grep is pulling the bogus #include from the file. The patch
- turns the #include'd message into a comment.

- - Run the Configure in the <PERL> directory as described in the

- Cross fingers, wait and be patient.
-
-*******CSW********
-I didn't see this problem \/
-******************
- - I experience problems when building two files 'pp_sys.o' &
- 'doio.o'. The build process will crash with a Windows dialog
- during the build of these two files. The way I get by the problem
- is to control-C the make and issue the build commands for the two
- files by hand. In the Perl directory issue the following commands:
-
- `sh cflags libperl.a pp_sys.o` pp_sys.c
- `sh cflags libperl.a doio.o` doio.c
-
- This appears to be a problem with Cygwin32's make.
-
- Hopefully if you follow the instructions above you will experience no
- problems building Perl.
-
-* Testing:
-
- I found that the majority of the tests passed. There were no errors
- that I thought particularly scary. There were several unexpected
- results such as a couple 'A required .DLL file, CYGWIN1.DLL, was not
- found' dialogs and 'Perl perform an illegal operation' dialogs.
-
-*******CSW********
-saw the "missing dll" during one test
-******************
-
- As long as I can run all my own scripts, things are fine by me...
-
- - Renamed or delete the file <PERL>/t/lib/io_sock.t so it will not be
- executed. This test hangs the system. I have made no attempts to
- fix the problem. From the <PERL> directory issue the following
- command:
-
-*******CSW********
-I didn't do this, and saw no problems.
-******************
-
- mv t/lib/io_sock.t t/lib/io_sock.t.ORIG

-Subject: Re: HOWTO: Builiding Perl under Win95/98 using Cygwin32
-Author: Steven Morlock <newspost@morlock.net>
-Date: 1998/12/22
-Forum: comp.lang.perl.misc
-
-I realized that in my original post I left out a couple important
-details. I'd like to correct that here.
-
-There is a need to address the issue of end of lines being CR/NL or
-NL on the Windows platform. Cygwin32 by default converts NL to CR/NL
-during file I/O by non Cygwin32-savvy applications. This means that
-Perl, since it does not support 'binmode' for the Cygwin32 platform,
-will not be able to read & write untranslated/binary files. There are
-two methods of over coming this. The first is to mount the Cygwin32
-partitions in binary mode. The second is to enable binmode support
-in Perl. In the original post I had mounted the partition as binary
-and neglected to include that fact in the post.
-
-* Using a binary partition:
-
- Mount the Perl source & installation destination partitions in binary
- mode. Refer to the Cygnus documentation on 'mount' for details:
-
- http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/cygwin-ug-net/mount.html
-
- On my system since everything was in the root partition I issued the
- following commands from the bash shell:
-
- umount /
- mount -b c:\\ /
-
- You must also get and install the gzip'd version of the Perl source
- code archive. The zip'd version of the archive has all NL converted
- to CR/NL pairs in all text files. So you should be downloading the
- files ending in '.gz', not '.zip'.
-
-* Patching Perl to add Cygwin32 binmode support:
-
- For this method you can use either the gzip'd or zip'd version of the
- Perl source archive.
-
- Apply the following patch to <PERL>/perl.h:
-
