Should I try building cygwin from sources on my PC?


Debugging it further would certainly be helpful. But if you don't actually
want to build Cygwin from source, you can always use a recent snapshot
with its source and debugging information as a shortcut.

<http://cygwin.com/snapshots/>


I did. I installed the latest snapshot from http://cygwin.com/snapshots/


cygwin-inst-20100602.tar.bz2

Followed instructions on

http://www.cygwin.com/faq/faq.setup.html#faq.setup.snapshots

started the cygwin shell again:

$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 me-PC 1.7.5s(0.227/5/3) 20100602 12:11:53 i686 Cygwin

Run make again, and I still get the same perl error.

I do not know perl much at all. I wonder if there is a way to turn some
perl global debugging somehow, may be if there is a perl message files,
that will help find the problem? I need to google this.

Actually, my thought was to install the complete source and debugging symbols from <http://cygwin.com/snapshots/> too so that you could set a breakpoint in the code that issues the error and get a better understanding as to why. For that, you don't need to know or even debug Perl (one would hope ;-) ).
