The normal Cygwin perlcc works just fine. perlcc creates a binary that is linked to the Perl DLL. The Perl DLL is linked to Cygwin. What you are trying to do, that is making a non-cygwin binary that links to a Cygwin dll, makes no sense. And of course, the mingw gcc will not understand Cygwin paths. Also, when you have Cygwin installed there's no real need to install mingw, you can use gcc -mno-cygwin instead with the w32api package, which is pretty much the same thing. If you want to use perlcc to create binaries that don't depend on Cygwin, you will have to compile a copy of Perl with mingw then use its perlcc. You might be able to get away with using ExtUtils::FakeConfig with activeperl and mingw if you don't want to use ActivePerl's perlcc which requires visual studio. This is all completely offtopic by the way. -- Rafael -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
