The new cygwin readme claims that parrot builds out of the box on
cygwin, however, it fails for me as it always has, with:
<SNIP>
gcc -o miniparrot.exe src/main.o \
-L/cygdrive/d/sandbox/parrot/blib/lib -lparrot -ldl -lcrypt -Wl,--enable-a
uto-import -Wl,--export-all-symbols -Wl,--stack,8388608 -Wl,--enable-auto-image-
base -L/usr/local/lib src/null_config.o
Invoking Parrot to generate runtime/parrot/include/config.fpmc --cross your fing
ers
./miniparrot.exe config_lib.pasm > runtime/parrot/include/config.fpmc
make: *** [runtime/parrot/include/config.fpmc] Error 53
This with a fresh copy of cygwin and a fresh svn checkout on winXP.
Perhaps the document needs to list some more prereqs? (I did install
the gcc, make, and perl packages, which seemed obvious but unlisted)
I have also, in the past, updated my PATH pre-build to add blib/lib; I
haven't tried that in this case yet: let's get the docs updated to
reflect this if it's needed.
