perlcc doesn't work anymore in the latest cygwin

[Niek Albers]

Hi,

Maybe this has something to do with the newer perl in the latest cygwin.
But Perl 5.6.1-2 doesn't seem to be able to compile any perl script into
C and then use gcc to compile to binary code.

With the older cygwin I was able to compile any perl script to an
executable. Now I only get segmentation faults.


Best regards,

This is broken in perl5.6.x.
Used to work in some older Perl version (I don't know if it ever worked
on Cygwin).

You say that perlcc from 5.6.1-2 used to work with an older Cygwin?
Or do you mean older Cygwin with older perl?
Which Cygwin version, which Perl version then?

Eric Fifer did a patch to the older Perl for Cygwin release, but it
never worked for me.  But AFAIK it is completely broken in 5.6.1,
on other platforms too.  There was not much work and I have no idea
if it will work with 5.8.
