Hello! Gerrit, thank you very much for looking into this!
* Gerrit P. Haase <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [2004-02-11 23:35]: > "Support for Perl 5.8.0 added in WML 2.0.9" > Maybe you should ask the upstream maintainer if it is possible to > use WML with perl-5.8.2 or not. Unfortunately, switching to perl-5.8.0-5 and rebuilding WML doesn't make the situation any different: $ gdb eperl.exe (gdb) run README Starting program: /cygdrive/d/wosc/install/Cygwin/wml-2.0.9/wml_backend/p3_eperl/eperl.exe README Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0x00405d66 in ??

I considered myself quite lucky to get it working. %-) > ./configure --with-openworld --enable-debug > runing make ends here: > mp4h: ERROR: failed to initialise modules: unknown error This can be circumvented by specifying --without-modules ... :-/ > Two of the executables are broken for me now, I consider to stop > working on this now.

Do you think the possible results warrant the effort of rebuilding perl? And, honestly, even if I managed to get some useful debugging output, I'd still depend on your help - and I wouldn't want you to spend lots of your time debugging other people's (possibly outdated) software. It would be great if WML did work again, as I have some projects depending on it, but it's completely up to you whether to dig any further. I appreciate your help and investigations very much, thanks again. 8-) Wolfgang -- 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/
