Not easily. > What do you think about my weird setup mixing Cygwin/mingw/perl hooks? Mixing Cygwin and MinGW is not such a good idea IME; it gets you into numerous issues, some of which are quite subtle. I think building under plain MinGW works better if you want to avoid dependence on Cygwin's libraries. If you switch, be sure to further not rely on installed libtool libraries (.la files) with paths in the other system's format. > Are you aware of The Right Way of doing it when it > comes to automated builds on Windows? Install MinGW, install Charles' recent MinGW ports of the file command and some others (posted on this list a couple of weeks ago), use that. Try to consistenly use w32-style paths on MinGW with forward slashes, and unix-like ones on Cygwin. The more experienced w32 users on this list will be able to provide better help.
