Hi, LIB is picked up by MakeMaker if it is available in the environment, it causes failures everytime when LIB contains spaces as it is usually the case in a default Visual Studio setup.
This is a problem on Cygwin. Just unset LIB in your Cygwin startup batch or redefine it to s.th. useful in your .bashrc This should be fixed in MakeMaker.

Only places 'LIB=' occurs in Tk804 is PNG's sub makefiles. There it is supposed to be name of 'AR' like command that builds .lib files from .obj files. So PASTHRU would be wrong. Attached patch (for Tk) fixes up MakeMaker's PASTHRU to avoid the problem. -- =^..^= _______________________________________________________________________ ... and the winner is...
