Hi, I have some problems (again) building modules on Cygwin. (I'm using perl-5.8 right now and it may well be that it was already fixed in bleadperl.
Well, the problem is that some modules which need an additional library to link against don't look for the correct thing. They want to link against an import library (e.g. libz.dll.a) but are searching for libz.a, it is no problem if there is a static lib but if there is only an import lib with suffix .dll.a they don't see it. So the lib doesn't show up at the link line when building the dynamic perl module and therefore this fails. Unfortunately I have no idea where to look at first, a little hint would be nice, I'll submit a patch as soon as I know what to patch. Gerrit -- =^..^=
