Atcroft,

You were right on the $$ about the source of the config weirdness. cygwin had scattered many copies of /<drive_root>cygwin and home.brianp directories. I had missed one on an obscure, deeply buried location on one of my data drives.

Got everything pointing to the new Strawberry Perl location. But a number of the builds are failing; Image(Perl)Magick and ExifTool. I am going to reinstall ImageMagick. Not sure about ExifTool.

Trying to build imagemagick from source to link it into my C programs was what got me venturing into this quagmire in the first place. The (Open_Source) IM gang only supports the msvc compiler on windoz and my research suggests that you have to use the same (32bit) compiler and the same (i386??) optimizations to link to their binary distributions.

The good news is that GD works like a charm and is a Speed Daemon with GCC/64 bit. Can hardly wait to try it out on Intel!

Thanks 1E6
