cygwin:
I am attempting to build Perl from source (I'm curious about Perl's
regression test), but it appears that the current Cygwin source distribution
is incomplete:
20080524-083532 Administrator@a64x23800p ~/mydocuments/build/perl-5.8.8-4
$ ./build.sh
+ unset LIB
+ unset INCLUDE
+ export CYGWIN=server
+ CYGWIN=server
+ pkg=perl
+ ver=5.8.8
+ major=5.8
+ release=-4
++ pwd
+ dir=/home/Administrator/mydocuments/build/perl-5.8.8-4
++ echo 5.8.8-4
++ sed 's/-.*//'
+ shortver=5.8.8
+ buildperl=buildperl
+ set +x
preq perl-5.8.8-ext-Win32CORE.tar.bz2 not found
+ exit
http://cygwin.com/packages/perl/perl-5.8.8-4-src appears to confirm this
omission.
Please advise.
TIA,
David
