Could you possibly elaborate on this please, as I wasn't aware of this policy. I presume that it's something like licence issues (not free as in freedom) or the risk of patent violation surrounding MP3. I ask because a little while ago I managed to put a typo in a tag of a number of MP4 files, and corrected these by building AtomicParsley [1] for Cygwin. I had intended to offer it here, in case someone else found it useful. If AtomicParsley falls under the same policy then that's fine; I'll strike it off my list of things to do. Thanks in advance for clarifying, Dave. [1] http://atomicparsley.sourceforge.net/

I'm typing this on an Ubuntu LTS 12.04 so I can't check what the previous version of GCC is on Cygwin, but it's probably some other 4.8.x so choosing previous in Cygwin's setup.exe probably won't help.

If you need an older version then you would have to build it yourself from source. But as others have pointed out, your time would be better spent maintaining the code so that it compiles with a more modern compiler.

Re: Building cpan module that links with proprietary libs

Additionally I need to link it to a set of proprietary libs that I am given only the .lib files for. If you must know this is for Perforce's P4Perl which I'd like to get working with Cygwin's Perl natively. I download the P4API bundle (the package that has include files and the .lib files pre-compiled). The C++ P4 API is platform-specific; which platform did you choose? If it really contains .lib files (not .a), those are not recognized by Cygwin's gcc. I had two archives two choose from. One was for Windows and contained the .lib files. The other was for Linux and contains .a files. I first tried the Linux one but that failed with: g++ -shared P4.o -o blib/arch/auto/P4/P4.dll lib/libp4.a \ /usr/lib/perl5/5.14/x86_64-cygwin-threads/CORE/cygperl5_14.dll -L/cygdrive/a/p4perlBuild/p4api/lib -lclient -lrpc -lsupp -lp4sslstub\ collect2: error: ld terminated with signal 11 [Segmentation fault], core dumped Makefile:531: recipe for target 'blib/arch/auto/P4/P4.dll' failed make: *** [blib/arch/auto/P4/P4.dll] Error 1 Adefaria-lt: I can give you more output if you need it. No need. Forgive me for saying this but I find it hard to believe that after all this time on the list Andrew that you don't know that trying to use Linux-compiled libraries on Cygwin isn't going to work. But I guess my surprise is not that important here. ;-) Then I switched to the Windows archive that contained the .lib files. Sensible but... I think the issue is that their Windows P4Perl build system uses Visual Studio to build and on Linux it uses g++. Their installation package is only for ActiveState. Supposedly at 5.18 ActiveState is changing to a g++ based backend using MingW I think so they'll eventually have to figure this out. Meantime I'm just trying to get it working under Cygwin's Perl... Next I need to do: $ perl Makefile.PL --api-dir /.../path/to/unzipped/p4api This works fine and I procedure with the make. This fails with things like: make[1]: Leaving directory '/cygdrive/a/perl/P4Perl.Cygwin/lib' g++ -c -I/cygdrive/a/perl/p4api.windows/include/p4 -Ilib -x c++ -DUSEIMPORTLIB -O3 -DVERSION=\2014.1\ -DXS_VERSION=\2014.1\ -I/usr/lib/perl5/5.14/x86_64-cygwin-threads/CORE -DID_OS=\CYGWIN17THREAD\ -DID_REL=\2014.1\ -DID_PATCH=\842847\ -DID_Y=\2014\ -DID_M=\05\ -DID_D=\06\ -DOS_CYGWIN -DOS_CYGWIN17 -DOS_CYGWIN17THREAD -DOS_CYGWINTHREAD -DP4API_VERSION=515585 -DID_API=\2014.1/821990\ P4.c Running Mkbootstrap for P4 () chmod 644 P4.bs rm -f blib/arch/auto/P4/P4.dll g++ -shared P4.o -o blib/arch/auto/P4/P4.dll lib/libp4.a \ /usr/lib/perl5/5.14/x86_64-cygwin-threads/CORE/cygperl5_14.dll\ P4.o:P4.c:(.text+0x45ac): undefined reference to `ClientApi::SetClient(char const*)' P4.o:P4.c:(.text+0x45ac): relocation truncated to fit: R_X86_64_PC32 against undefined symbol `ClientApi::SetClient(char const*)' P4.o:P4.c:(.text+0x4a9c): undefined reference to `ClientApi::SetHost(char const*)' Notice that it removes P4.dll, so it seems to know it's working with dll's, but then it calls g++ with a -o for libp4.a! No it doesn't. The argument to -o is blib/arch/auto/P4/P4.dll lib/libp4.a is the next input file. Good catch! I missed that. What does the following say? nm lib/libp4.a | c++filt Attached. Meantime it fails with many undefined references. I think I might need to do perl Makefile.PL with other opts to tell it that while it's using Cygwin and can be very Linux-like, it needs to produce .dll's and not .a's or .o's. It seems to be on the right track; g++ -shared -o P4.dll sounds good to me. You say that the libs were built by Visual Studio and the remainder of your comments make it clear that the libraries are C++ and not C code. As a result, you will never get code compiled with g++ to link with these libraries. There is no common ABI among C++ compilers. Thus, the libraries and headers of one can't be used as input to the compiler of another, even on the same platform. This only works for C code. So you have to either build the proprietary libs with Cygwin's C++ compiler or write your own shim library that wraps the necessary calls and objects in a C API, compile that with VS, and link your program against the APIs in your library. -- Larry _ A: Yes.

I figured the Windows style was for ActiveState only and that'd probably not work. Hell ActiveState doesn't even use cpan, they use ppm. I didn't look inside for anything like .o, .a or .dll or .lib. I figured that it would have been source code and it would have been compiled as part of the make process. It wasn't until it failed that I saw the reference to .a's, etc. and looked into the p4api directory structure to see .lib's in the Windows copy and .a's in the Linux copy. Sure at *that* point I knew the Linux style will never work in this situation. So I tried to link with the Windows style .lib copy. It seems to be on the right track; g++ -shared -o P4.dll sounds good to me. You say that the libs were built by Visual Studio and the remainder of your comments make it clear that the libraries are C++ and not C code. I don't believe I ever said it was just C code.
