I wanted to use cygwin because it should be as close to running on a *n*x box as can be done on a m$ box. However I've now realised it's best to go all or nothing; either cygwin perl, cygwin libxml, cygwin libxslt, CPAN and cygwin make OR ActiveState Perl and ActiveState ppm. I chose the latter because it meant less work for me :).
Regarding ppms, ActiveState don't seem to have them for AxKit (and it's requisites) at: http://ppm.ActiveState.com/cgibin/PPM/ppmserver.pl?urn:/PPMServer But they can be found here: http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppmpackages/ I can't say if the fully cygwin route requires no tweaking on an m$ box but the native windows stuff with ActiveState was very good, for the most part. There was a slight problem with the port, where it wanted to save libxml2.dll to /perl/bin, but it did give you the opportunity to correct it to c:\perl\bin. Runs fine now.

I've had LibXML, Sablotron,and AxKit running fine under ActiveState PErl on Windows. As I recall, it took just a shade of path tweaking in the Makefiles, but no problems other than that. I'd have to attemtp it again to remember how I got it working. -=Chris --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
