I built from the source. FYI: 0. link => 'c++' in config/init/hints/cygwin.pl 1. http://oss.software.ibm.com/icu/ 2. Ensure that the .dlls are executable 3. Ensure that the location of the .dlls are in your PATH variable perl Configure.pl --icushared='-licuuc -licudt' --icuheaders=/usr/local/include You will likely need to modify --icushared to include -L<Path> if not using a /usr/local prefix and the library names may be different depending on version (they seem to change with every major release) 4. If you link but when you go to execute it complains about not being able to find the data directory you will need to rebuild after hard coding it into config/gen/icu.pl or mess with the env variable that has been around the list recently. Additionally, you are going to want to configure with --opcode=long --intval=long otherwise you will get a myriad of warnings and almost no runloop except the default will work. > Can you please send me a complete cvs diff?

The only other modifications I have made is to enable some tests which are currently being skipped on Cygwin (they pass btw). I have given you the 4 command line options I use though sometimes I also use --optimize. > Hmm, strange.

I used what came as part of Cygwin though I may have been mixing and matching. I also rebuilt /bin/cygwin1.dll from source on the off chance it was just a "need to be compiled with the same compiler" type problem. The gcc is recent though compiling the latest from the source is an option I am willing to try if someone thinks it will work. > > jens Cheers Joshua Gatcomb a.k.a.
