How do I write that LIBS assignment so that it would be portable across
different *Cygwin* installations ?
I still don't know how to do that - though I did come to a better
understanding of how the problem arises.
For both linux and cygwin, 'perl -V:libpth' returns 'libpth='/usr/local/lib
/usr/lib /lib'.
On linux I can run 'perl Makefile.PL LIBS="-lstdc++"' and that runs fine
because '-lstdc++' is found in $Config{libpth}, in the form of libstdc++.so.
But on cygwin, there is no '-lstdc++' to be found in $Config{libpth}, so
MakeMaker decides to not pass the switch on (which has always been
MakeMaker's policy in such cases, afaik). This is a pity - there would be no
problem if it *did* the pass switch on, as both gcc and g++ on cygwin will
resolve that link.
IMO, on my cygwin perl, $Config{libpth} should be set to '/usr/local/lib
/usr/lib /lib /lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4', and I regard it as a bug that
'/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4' is not being included in $Config{libpth}. In
fact, I've modified the libpth setting in Config.pm to '/usr/local/lib
/usr/lib /lib /lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4'.
Is there somewhere I should lodge a bug report about this ?
Cheers,
Rob
