I've worked around the NFSLock issue and I have the Cairo library installed.

However.....

I can't get the PERL Cairo module to install. Whether I use CPAN or the manual method, all the files compile but the link fails. Here's the error....

C:\Perl\site\bin\g++.exe -out:blib\arch\auto\Cairo\Cairo.dll -mdll -L"C:\Perl\li b\CORE" Cairo.o CairoFont.o CairoMatrix.o CairoPath.o CairoPattern.o CairoSurfac e.o CairoFt.o cairo-perl-enums.o C:\Perl\lib\CORE\perl510.lib -lkernel32 -luse r32 -lgdi32 -lwinspool -lcomdlg32 -ladvapi32 -lshell32 -lole32 -loleaut32 -lneta pi32 -luuid -lws2_32 -lmpr -lwinmm -lversion -lodbc32 -lodbccp32 -lcomctl32 -lms vcrt -def:Cairo.def

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

dmake.exe: Error code 129, while making 'blib\arch\auto\Cairo\Cairo.dll' TSCH/Cairo-1.061.tar.gz C:\Perl\site\bin\dmake.exe -- NOT OK

It appears something can't handle the "-out:", since the file it can't find is prefixed with "ut:".

Are things supposed to be this hard?
