Hi Arjen: Some find modules look in a very broad range of places. The perl find module may be one of those since the developers of that find module may have argued that some version of perl is almost always better than none. And likely using the Cygwin version of perl is OK. Nevertheless, the whole issue very likely becomes moot if you install the MinGW-w64/MSYS2 version of perl. > >> However, these versions of cmake and friends are problematic because some >> distributions (e.g., Cygwin is known to do this) may massage those packages >> to >> deal with special issues for the distribution.

I am glad you are going to do that, and I hope you also will be able to follow that website cookbook to generate a complete up-to-date list of MinGW-w64/MSYS2 packages that you can share with me.
