Re: GPF error building Perl 5.6
Chuck,
1. Apologies for missing your message in the archives. I must admit I
believed the instructions at the start of the Perl-5.6.0-README that said
"no patches necessary". I must remember to check version numbers a bit more
closely next time.
2. I've reloaded Cygwin since the GPF errors with cygipc and have managed to
build cygipc successfully from the source this time.
3. What options do I use with 'patch' for the Perl patches? I'm still a bit
fresh to this. It's been nearly 15 years since I last used a Unix machine in
anger.
4. As for the GPF error when compiling the unpatched Perl, I've attached my
cygcheck results at the end of this message.
Regards,
David Ireland

The CygUtils version of the source is basically a pristine copy of the
"real" perl source, because perl-5.6.0 built OOB on cygwin-1.1.1.
However, perl-5.6.0 does NOT build OOB on cygwin-1.1.4. There are a
bunch of additional patches necessary to get it to build on
cygwin-1.1.4.

Okay, this is NOT the expected failure mode when building pristine
perl-5.6.0 on cygwin-1.1.4. You've discovered something new. (*)

Even the messages in the Archives where I've said "you need extra
patches in order to build perl on cygwin-1.1.4." And gave a pointer to
the perl5-porters mailing list?

Yes, you need to install cygipc, which is available from CygUtils. I
beleive that is the only dependency not included in the base
distribution of cygwin.
What's this about GPFs with the cygutils perl binary? Nodoby has
reported THAT to me or to this list...strange... I use cygutils-perl
daily, and haven't seen this.

Attached find Eric Fifer's patches for building perl on cygwin-1.1.4.
There are eight patches, apply them in order. Only the first four are
strictly necessary to get perl to build on 1.1.4; then last four are
bugfixes. All have been submitted and accepted by the perl5-porters
team for inclusion in 5.6.1.
I don't know if these patches will fix your GPF problem; as I said,
that's not the error I get when trying to build an unpatched perl on
cygwin-1.1.4.
