Re: Building PERL modules [Was: Re: Any resolution to win32.hproblem?]


Hi

ok...

here is what I did:

$ patch -b -p0 < patch.txt
patching file `perl.h'

jhall ~/src/perlmodsrc/fixperl
$ ls
patch.txt  perl.h  perl.h.orig

jhall ~/src/perlmodsrc/fixperl
$ diff perl.h perl.h.orig
1745c1745
< #if defined(WIN32) && !defined(__CYGWIN__)
---
> #ifdef WIN32

$ cd /lib/perl5/5.6.1/cygwin/CORE

jhall /lib/perl5/5.6.1/cygwin/CORE
$ mv perl.h perl.h.bak

$ cp ~/src/perlmodsrc/fixperl/perl.h .

This is what I get:

jhall ~/src/perlmodsrc/Win32-API-0.20
$ perl Makefile.PL

backed out of the patch and got the original message.

Did I do anything wrong?
