What exactly is giving the error, and what error are you getting?
I had an IsWinNT is undefined error message 2 days ago, but I removed some old-seeming directories (since I have 5.8.6 installed, I thought I'd try deleting older versioned directories, though I have no 5.8.6 directories and most of the perl-lib files I had installed were under /lib/perl5/5.8.5 which seems odd -- I would have thought installing a newer perl would have installed lib files in 5.8.6...(?)
The naming scheme changed. D+LL name is cygperl_5.8.dll and directories are named .../5.8/... The reason is that you can keep your modules when 5.8.7 is released, unless binary compatibility breaks.
The error/build messages I am seeing now are:[...]
3) Processing hints file hints/cygwin.pl Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lole32 Note (probably harmless): No library found for -loleaut32 Note (probably harmless): No library found for -luuid Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lmsvcrt40 ### these are all libs I see in /usr/lib/w32api as "lib<libname>.a"
Then -L/usr/lib/w32api is missing in hints/cygwin.pl.
4) Warning: prerequisite Win32API::Registry 0 not found. Writing Makefile for Win32::TieRegistry
5) make[2]: Entering directory `//ishtar/share/CPAN/build-cygwin/GSAR001/libwin32-0.191/APIFile'

### This appears to be a bug in the Makefile, line 704 has a target,

### which would seem to be a problem in the source that builds the Makefile
This is annoying, I get it occasionally, I believe it is a bug in
MakeMaker, but I couldn't find it yet. Does the build continue if you add the missing tab and run make again?
