That's just me, I talk in slang! (or perl pretty often)

The Precompiled package from http://cygutils.netpedia.net had a pacth 
applied to the orginal (Vanilla) source for Zlib that enabled the creation 
of a .dll.

Running the normal:

./configure
make
make install

produced a static library libz.a.

This I have had no problem linking into other programs (or libs).

  To: corrosion; +Cc: JGMBenoit, cygwin

Using zlib-1.1.3-4 installed on a W2K cygwin-1.1.4 system, and with
perl-5.6.0 from cygutils, I was able to install Compress:Zlib,
Archive:Tar, and CPAN without trouble. 

Just unpack, 'perl Makefile.PL', make, make test, make install. It
linked using libz.dll.a in /usr/lib, which means that the dynamically
loaded perl module "Compress/Zlib/Zlib.dll" depends on
/usr/bin/libz.dll:

cygcheck shows:
./site_perl/5.6.0/cygwin/auto/Compress/Zlib/Zlib.dll
  D:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll
    D:\WINNT\System32\KERNEL32.dll
      D:\WINNT\System32\NTDLL.DLL
  D:\cygwin\bin\libz.dll
  D:\cygwin\usr\local\bin\libperl5_6_0.dll

No need to rebuild zlib yourself, or to link statically.

AFTER building and installing Compress:Zlib and Archive:Tar by hand, I
built and installed CPAN. After than, 'perl -MCPAN -e shell' worked fine
-- although, of course, it kept pestering me to install BUNDLE::libnet.

Just another data point.

I even tried the same test case that Neil Lunn used in his initial
problem report:

$ perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan> install Business::CreditCard
.. 
various successful messages
..
one of which is:
CPAN: Compress::Zlib loaded ok
..
..

It downloaded, built, and installed the CreditCard module without
error.  Perhaps the trick is that CPAN must be built/installed *AFTER*
Compress::Zlib is built and installed. I dunno.

Another possibility: I assume that Neil built Compress::Zlib and linked
using a dll-import library (from zlib-1.1.3-1, but that's okay.
Whatever). However, at runtime, perl/Compress::Zlib/Zlib.dll tried to
load libz.dll and picked up a different version -- perhaps the one from
X11R6.

That'll cause problems every time. I don't know why, but Suhaib's
libz.dll from his X11R6 distro and the official libz.dll's (1.1.3-1,
1.1.3-4) aren't compatible. To fix, make sure that /usr/bin appears
before /usr/X11R6/bin in the path. (Or, link statically -- which is how
Neil solved his problem).

FWIW, I've got gcc-2.95.2-2 and binutils-20000722-1 installed.

What do you mean by `run a vanilla make on Zlib' ?

Neil -
  I'm interested in the zlib breakage, as well as perl. Can you send me
your 'cygcheck -v -s -r' output, please?

Geez,

Answering my own questions now. It was Zlib that was broken. I was using the 
pre-built from "Cygutils".

I just ran a vanilla make on Zlib and everything works fine.

* Compress::Zlib Clobbers CPAN shell

Hi,

I have a really strange result with the CPAN shell program after the 
Compress::Zlib module has been installed. If this module is removed the 
problem goes away.

Compress::Zlib passes 'make' and 'make test' without any error at all. After 
this module has been installed, the CPAN shell will not do much at all. I 
include the output from trying to install a simple module as an example.

This only happens on Cygwin, and I've done this now on both a Win98 and a 
Win2000 box. Likely the Break is in CPAN.pm Compress::Zlib or zlib itself?

Any pointers or similar experience? This does't seem to be anything like 
this in the list archives.

Neil Lunn
