Bug #21012 for Device-SerialPort: make test fails on Cygwin

The following report ist about 'make test' failing on Cygwin 1.5.19. I have not done any tests with the most recent version of Cygwin. I remember to have had similar problems with an older version of Cygwin (1.5.16 IIRC). The output of 'uname -a', 'perl -v', and 'gcc -v' is at the end of this mail. Ignoring the failed 'make test' I did 'make install' and the module appears to work (at least the functionality that I need). ~/SW-Downloads/Device-SerialPort-1.002$ make test /usr/bin/perl.exe "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-e" "test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t t/01timing....ok 1/7 # Failed test (t/01timing.t at line 33) # then: 4075203 now: 4077343 diff: 2140 # Looks like you failed 1 test of 7. t/01timing....dubious Test returned status 1 (wstat 256, 0x100) DIED.
