in thread Problems installing Devel::Cover on Strawberry, seems to work on Cygwin
I just built a Perl 5.10 with the link flags added to makefile.mk, but that didn't solve the problem with Devel::Cover.
What did work was to add the following symbols to global.sym (two more than mentioned above):
Perl_pp_nextstate Perl_pp_nextstate Perl_pp_setstate Perl_pp_setstate Perl_pp_dbstate Perl_pp_dbstate Perl_pp_entersub Perl_pp_entersub Perl_pp_cond_expr Perl_pp_and Perl_pp_andassign Perl_pp_or Perl_pp_orassign Perl_pp_xor Perl_pp_require Perl_pp_exec Perl_pp_dor Perl_pp_dorassign
This may be wrong way to do this since the comment at the top of global.sym says it's auto generated by "make regen_headers". However there doesn't seem to be a make target for that, so I don't know. It's a workaround for this particular module anyway.
Now, whether this is a good idea or not, I can't tell you. I have no clue about those issues.
I do know, however, that I would very, very much like Devel::Cover to build on Windows.
