I am trying to build perl5.004_01 with b18 gnuwin32 , and was
pointed to using a patch at www.tiac.net/users/cfg . I get a lot
of "Hunk #1 failed " type errors from patch -p1 -n < cygperl5.004_01.pat
and when I run sh Configure for perl, I get a lot of errors about
missing files & directories, and a warning that THIS PACKAGE SEEMS
TO BE INCOMPLETE . (their caps, not mine). Is there a patch for the
patch?

Like I said in c.l.p.misc, I had to split the patchfile up. I did it with a
Perl script but, if you haven't got a working Perl ATM, you could use awk.

I haven't yet tried this, but it might be a better way for you to proceed.

No, none of the above. I moved the source to a trusty unix box where I could
apply the patch. Also found I had to make a lot of changes to the hints
file: paths etc. Certainly is more bleeding edge than I expected. Something
in the patch regarding the bad patch program might be a nice touch.

Yep, it's not yet a straightforward process. All the signs are that things
will work much better when 5.004_02 emerges though.

It would be even better if the patch that came with cygwin32 wasn't
broken...

Actually since, to the best of my knowledge, the patch that is pending
for perl5.004_02 is actually the patch on my web site, then I wouldn't
be too certain that things will work much better at all.
When I receive feedback that is of the order of "I had to make a lot of
changes", however, it is difficult to know exactly where to improve things.

Well, I didn't have serious problems building your patched code - the
biggest hassle was with patch itself and that won't affect the 5.004_02
distribution.
If the niggles I mentioned in my mails to you are fixed ($perlpath problem
with the inconsistency in which directory config.sh is called from, "read
answ" kludge around for Win95, path delimiter inconsistency in built
GNUmakefile and MakeMaker generating filenames with "::" in for man files),
all should be well AFAICS.
