Hallo perl5-porters,

successfully builded bleadperl with threads the first time,
many thanks to the Wizard of Perl!


I was able to build perl 5.8.0-1 with threads that has passed all tests
by disabling perls internal malloc. With the perl malloc the embed test
has failed.


You could build perl-5.8.0 with threads?  I thought the 5.8. pumpking
fixed it just some days ago?  Have you patched the sources?

No. I took the cygwin perl-5.8.0-1 sources, configured and build it OOTB. It should build with the current cygwin dll. Do not try an older one, the latest cygwin dlls contain a number of fixes only to get perl with threads running. Mostly they were pthread_key and fork related.
I had some problems with pthread_conds (some tests failed erratically) which are fixed in the CVS repository. The fixes should be in the next cygwin release.



The embed test failure looks not like a problem with threads to me too, lets wait for answers from the perl5-porters.

Maybe.
I noticed that the embed test has failed, debugged and recognized that the test failed due the perls internal malloc problems. If i remember right it was a segmentation violation. After i disabled perls malloc all tests have passed. I never build perl without thread support.
