B20 legacy branch

There are two statically-linked versions of Perl for cygwin available here:

• One is just perl, and nothing else.
• The other contains perl, plus a few important modules, statically linked into the perl.exe binary. The modules that are built into this version are:
  • String-CRC-1.0
  • Data-ShowTable-3.3
  • DBI-1.08
  • Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2017 (mSQL AND mysql)
• The source code for the modules is found here.

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:

1. cd to /
2. unpack the binary distribution. It will install itself into .usr/local/lib/perl5, usr/local/man, and /usr/local/bin.
3. you're done.

If you wish to build from sources, do the following:

1. unpack the original source distribution from cpan.org in /usr/local/src
2. copy perl5.005_03-static-patch into /usr/local/src/perl5.005_03/
3. cd /usr/local/src/perl5.005_03
4. NT only: chmod -R +w *
5. patch -p1 < perl5.005_03-static-patch
6. read perl5.005_03/cygwin32/build-instructions.READFIRST

Or, download the patched source and just do steps #1 and #6.

• String-CRC-1.0 Download Builds out of the box.
• Data-ShowTable-3.3 Download Builds out of the box.
• DBI-1.08 Download Builds out of the box.
• Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2017 Download You must have Msql or Mysql installed and running before building this module - and you need to patch some header files in Msql.
• Msql-2.0.5-cygwinb20.patch Download Apply this to Msql AFTER building it, but before building the Msql-Mysql-module.
