RE: Perl module XML::Parser + Expat build problem

[Bruce Rosenquist <BROSENQU at altera dot com>]

Gerrit,

I tried your patch as follows, but it fails:

"
(expat-1.95.2)# patch --dry-run Makefile.in  expat.patch
patching file `Makefile.in'
Hunk #1 FAILED at 90.
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to Makefile.in.rej
"

Am I applying it correctly ... I am so naive in these matters ...


I have seen these threads on the whole 'cygwin + XML::Parser + Expat' issue,
but have had no luck solving my problem - why is it soooo complicated ?

I have seen it suggested to go back to previous versions of expat +
XML::Parser,
to get it to all work with cygwin - would the install tools be more evolved?

Why can't I use the pre-compiled win32 binaries with cygwin - is it because
they were compiled using the MS compiler, rather than 'gcc'?

Thanks again for all your help,

I made a little change, now you will get dynamic libraries (if you use
the latest autotools), apply my patch and it should work then.
The patch is attached.

And you need to move the .dll in the bin dir after 'make install'
(ohoh, it is all so buggy), looks for me like this:
$ cp /usr/local/lib/libexpat-0-1-0.dll /usr/local/bin/libexpat-0-1-0.dll
