After upgrading to g++ (GCC) 6.4.0, I am being forced to reload/rebuild a bunch of Perl modules that had been working fine. I had the same issue with GCC 6.3. One module is particularly troublesome. I have the openssl library installed. This is with the 64-bit Cygwin. I attached cygcheck.out I would roll back to GCC 5.x but that doesn't appear to be an option in Setup. # cpan install Net::SSLeay Running Mkbootstrap for Net::SSLeay () chmod 644 "SSLeay.bs" "/usr/bin/perl.exe" "-Iinc" "/usr/lib/perl5/5.24/ExtUtils/xsubpp" -typemap "/usr/lib/perl5/5.24/ExtUtils/typemap" -typemap "typemap" SSLeay.xs > SSLeay.xsc && mv SSLeay.xsc SSLeay.c gcc -c -DPERL_USE_SAFE_PUTENV -D_GNU_SOURCE -U__STRICT_ANSI__ -ggdb -O2 -pipe -Wimplicit-function-declaration -fdebug-prefix-map=/mnt/share/maint/perl.x86_64/build=/usr/src/debug/perl-5.24.1-1 -fdebug-prefix-map=/mnt/share/maint/perl.x86_64/src/perl-5.24.1=/usr/src/debug/perl-5.24.1-1 -fwrapv -fno-strict-aliasing -fstack-protector-strong -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -DUSEIMPORTLIB -O3 -DVERSION=\"1.81\" -DXS_VERSION=\"1.81\" "-I/usr/lib/perl5/5.24/x86_64-cygwin-threads/CORE" SSLeay.c SSLeay.xs:163:25: fatal error: openssl/err.h: No such file or directory #include ^ compilation terminated. make: *** [Makefile:357: SSLeay.o] Error 1 MIKEM/Net-SSLeay-1.81.tar.gz /usr/bin/make -- NOT OK -- Jim Reisert AD1C, , http://www.ad1c.us
