Hi Folks,
This is the first time I have tried to compile parrot and perl6.
I have tried various combinations of perl6 and parrot snapshots
but all perl6 builds fail (at different places). Can anyone help
me get a clean build?
For example getting the latest parrot from svn truck and perl6
from github I can build parrot 2.0.0 with all tests passing but
the build of perl6 fails with
---------------------------------------------
/usr/bin/perl -MExtUtils::Command -e cp src/s1_setting.pir
src/gen_setting.pir
/usr/local/bin/parrot.exe -o perl6_s1.pbc perl6.pir
error:imcc:syntax error, unexpected '\n', expecting '('
in file 'perl6.pir' line 29
error:imcc:syntax error, unexpected VAR, expecting '(' ('self')
in file 'src/classes/Object.pir' line 67
included from 'src/gen_builtins.pir' line 51
included from 'perl6.pir' line 1
error:imcc:syntax error, unexpected VAR, expecting '(' ('example')
in file 'src/classes/Object.pir' line 479
included from 'src/gen_builtins.pir' line 51
included from 'perl6.pir' line 1
--------------------- etc ---------------------
parrot was compiled with gcc4 on cygwin and perl is cygwin perl5.

As I say, I have tried the 2010-01 and 2009-12 snaps with parrot 2.0.0 and
parrot 1.9.0 and they all fail but in different places.
