Perl & GNU-Win32

[Max Muzi <maxim at comm2000 dot it>]

Hi.

Has anyone managed to compile Perl5.004 under GNU-Win32 b18 ?

I tried, but I encountered some major problems, whose solution is beyond
my current very limited experience.

I did everything the README.gnuwin32 file tells one should do.
Initially, the configure script did non even pass the gcc functionality
test.
So I moved cpp into the path and added some enviroment variables (namely:
LIBRARY_PATH, C_INCLUDE_PATH, CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH, OBJC_INCLUDE_PATH,
OBJCPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH).

Now the configure program seems to successfully complete its job.

But when makedepend is launched, I get a long sequence of error messages,
all like the following one:

>>>>>>>

Finding dependencies for malloc.o.
In file included from 
/gnuwin32/H-i386-cygwin32/i386-cygwin32/include/syslimits.h:7,
 from /gnuwin32/H-i386-cygwin32/i386-cygwin32/include/limits.h:11,
 from /gnuwin32/H-i386-cygwin32/i386-cygwin32/include/sys/param.h:38,
                 from perl.h:223,
                 from malloc.c:6:
c:\gnuwin32\H-i386-cygwin32\i386-cygwin32\include/limits.h:116: 
No include path in which to find limits.h

<<<<<<<

All *_INCLUDE_PATH variables point to a directory containing limits.h.
And, in fact, limits.h *is* read, as the message itself seems to testify.
If those variables are not set, different errors occur, which appear more
severe:

>>>>

In file included from malloc.c:6:
perl.h:163: No include path in which to find sys/types.h
perl.h:174: No include path in which to find stdarg.h

<<<<

Could any one help me out ?

I am using use Windows 95 with GNU-Win32 b18.
Perl version is 5.004_01.

TIA,

Max
