Bug #102706 for ExtUtils-MakeMaker: Mkbootstrap.t test and thus MakeMaker install fails on latest Cygwin x64

Here is the specific error: # Failed test 'should die given bad filename' # at t/Mkbootstrap.t line 81. # '' # doesn't match '(?^:Unable to open dasboot\.bs)' # Looks like you failed 1 test of 18. t/Mkbootstrap.t ........... Dubious, test returned 1 (wstat 256, 0x100) Failed 1/18 subtests Below is the full output from my attempt to install ExtUtils::MakeMaker, a dependency for cpanminus on Cygwin. If there is something missing in the Cygwin installation that would enable the test to succeed, let me know. If it there is a way to safely skip that test if it is not required for MakeMaker functionality, let me know. cpanm (App::cpanminus) 1.7027 on perl 5.014004 built for cygwin-thread-multi Work directory is /home/engsupport/.cpanm/work/1426114147.16236 You have make /usr/bin/make You have /usr/bin/wget You have /usr/bin/tar: tar (GNU tar) 1.27.1 Packaged by Cygwin (1.27.1-1) Copyright (C) 2013 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
