20 I did (5.005_002 static build, 91.4% successfull test).
22 As many people from this list helped me, I'd glad to offer the same.
26 *) Read the README.cywin32
28 *) Edit the hints/cygwin32.sh file to reflect your paths.
30 Here are also a couple of settings I found useful when performing
32 build (copy hints/cygwin32.sh to config.sh, and do sh Configure -d)
37 osname='cygwin_nt-4.0'
45 *) Browse Usenet archives (DejaNews), and find "HOWTO: Builiding Perl
46 under Win95/98 using Cygwin32 "
47 Steven Morlock <newspost@morlock.net>
51 *) Then apply this patch (Thanks to Todd Goodman)
53 This is my change in Cwd.pm:
54 --- cwd.pm Fri Feb 26 21:52:42 1999
55 +++ cwd.pm.orig Fri Jan 22 20:49:54 1999
57 my $start = @_ ? shift : '.';
58 my($dotdots, $cwd, @pst, @cst, $dir, @tst);
60 - return cwd() if ( $^O =~ /cygwin/ );
62 unless (@cst = stat( $start ))
65 And tell me (email) if it fails.
