| Subject: | PAR::Packer fails to build from CPAN on win32/cygwin |
When attempting to do an `install PAR::Packer` from CPAN, the build
process dies at the following location:
CPAN.pm: Going to build S/SM/SMUELLER/PAR-Packer-0.977.tar.gz
make: *** No rule to make target `script/parldyn.exe', needed by
`blib/script/parldyn.exe'. Stop.
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
When attempting to build it outside of CPAN, this make target error does
not occur, instead, it fails slightly later in the build:

make[1]: *** [../script/parl.exe] Error 34
make[1]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/c/PAR-Packer-0.997/myldr'
make: *** [subdirs] Error 2
The latter failure appears to be because despite the fact that
static.exe is technically executable (it does in fact run but return
nothing), since it does not return a successful value (thus the make
Error 34), the make process dies here. Running the last command
manually does not get me past the error. Something about running
static.exe with a bunch of arguments, last of which being
../script/parl.exe is simply not functioning properly.
