is this ticket (#51944) resolved? I don't see any outstanding todo
items
here that need to be considered further, and the submitted patch
has
already been applied. Can we close this, or is this a placeholder
for us
to further improve cygwin documentation?
The list os build preq's is required.
Well, the tip for smoke to do cpan Test::TAP::HTMLMatrix
could be added. But this should be added in the general README for all
platforms.
Then platform specific is only that pg.t fails due to missing loadlib
exceptions
and that cygwin perl-5.10.0 fails to send the smoke report. perl-5.8.8
works ok.
I'll send that as extra README_cygwin.pod patch.
ENOPATCH. =-)
Can someone with cygwin access go through the README once more so we can
get this ticket closed? Thanks.
Ok, since there's now almost an official parrot package, the updates are
easy.
Patch attached.
The parrot-0.6.4-1 packages are in the works.

If you use SVN to get a copy of Parrot, you should use the Cygwin SVN
and not the TortoiseSVN client to avoid build errors. Similarly you will
need Cygwin Perl rather than ActiveState or Strawberry Perl.

Note that ICU is now optional, you can build Parrot without it,

Thanks to the L<Windows DLL Hell / http://> and the impossibility of file
hardlinks, windows dll names are versioned, so the loadlib function or the
