The following patch tests whether the dll being built contains an object called 'perl.o' (would we have to check $(OBJ_EXT)? I hope not - perlld is cygwin and cygwin has '.o'): --- /usr/bin/perlld.orig 2005-08-05 11:06:27.041388400 +0200 +++ /usr/bin/perlld 2005-08-05 11:07:23.288868400 +0200 @@ -49,5 +49,5 @@ my $v_e_r_s = substr("5.8.7",0,-2); $v_e_r_s =~ tr/./_/; - if ( $dllname =~ /libperl.*/) { + if ( $dllname =~ /libperl.*/ && $args =~ /\bperl\.o\b/) { $dllname ="cygperl$v_e_r_s.dll"; } else { I admit that I have not yet rebuilt perl with this perlld - but mod_perl now takes the perlld step without being renamed. P.S.: In the meantime I managed to compile mod_auth_kerb as well, linking against /usr/bin/libhttpd as you recommended. So my mod_perl deviation had its merits :-) P.P.S.: In my "success story" about mod_perl I forgot to mention that I had to run rebaseall to get the server running. P.P.P.S.: Ah, yes, and I had to re-install emacs because it got stuck in an endless loop immediately after starting (consuming 100% CPU) after the rebaseall. -- Cheers, haj -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
