There are two dynamically-linked versions of Perl for cygwin available here:
- version 1.4.1 is the most recent patch level. However, there is no binary distribution. That's okay, the changes (with respect to verison 1.4) were cosmetic only.
- version 1.4 is the latest binary. To update the documentation to v1.4.1, just download this.
Depending on your browser, you may need to right-click/"Save link as" on the links below, rather than just clicking on them.
If you wish to install a binary package, do the following:
- cd to /
- unpack the binary distribution. It will install itself into /usr/local/lib/perl5, usr/local/man, and /usr/local/bin.
- you're done.
If you wish to build perl yourself, do the following:
- unpack the original source distribution from cpan.org in /usr/local/src
- unpack the patchkit somewhere else
- copy perl5.005_03-dynamic-patch-v1.4.1p into /usr/local/src/perl5.005_03/
- cd /usr/local/src/perl5.005_03
- NT only: chmod -R +w *
- patch -p1 < perl5.005_03-dynamic-patch-v1.4.1p
- read perl5.005_03/README.cygwin32
Or, download the patched source and just do steps #1 and #7.
The patchkit perl5.005_03-dynamic-patch-v1.4.1.tar.gz contains:
