Anything constructive other than "doctor it hurts when I use activestate", so you can help improve things to be more ActiveState friendly?
Nothing. If I had something, I'd post it.
What's the standard workflow/procedure ActiveState users would use to build and install .xs extensions? Maybe they have their own $(MAKE) equivalent that groks such a Makefile with backslashed pathnames and CRLF endings?
I don't know. It's a bit more than backslashes and CRLF. The pathnames must be _completely_ converted from windows to cygwin. Cygwin even provides an utility for that (cygpath). Besides, there still is that stupid case-sensitivity problem. - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
