FYI, this may be a problem with Cygwin setup causing packages and DLLs not to work.
----- Original Message ----- Subject: Re: [rt.cpan.org #75664] Fails 09parser test in Cygwin with *** fatal error <URL: https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=75664 > This shouldn't be an Inline::C bug. The issue can impact just about anything that runs under cygwin, and that uses DLL's. It's likely that what is getting clobbered is the C compiler. Apparently after upgrading some packages on cygwin, a rebaseall command may be necessary. The symptom seems to be wonky behavior across a number of assorted tools (not just Perl, or the C compiler). Here are some links on the topic: http://cygwin.wikia.com/wiki/Rebaseall http://www.heikkitoivonen.net/blog/2008/11/26/cygwin-upgrades-and-rebaseall/ My suggestion is to document the issue in a future release of Inline by placing the following segment in the Inline FAQ, or the Inline::C README (not sure which would be better): Q: Why am I getting errors under cygwin after upgrading some cygwin packages? A: We have no idea, but it seems to be a cygwin issue that will affect a number of tools on your system, including the C compiler. The solution is to execute a 'rebaseall' after terminating all long-running processes. Here are links to a couple of articles that describe how to do that: ...and then include the links above, or just copy and paste the examples of how to run rebaseall. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
