Neither of the automated methods of building perl 5.6.1 worked ie.

  ./djgpp/configure.bat -de
  ./configure.gnu --prefix=c​:/perl

i tried various combinations of flags reinstalling src each time

- So In the top level directory i did

  ./Makefile.SH

and the build still broke

- In the x2p directory

so there i did

  make veryclean
  ./Makefile.SH
  make makedepend
* I had to edit the GNUMakefile to get rid of lines like
...$(EXT_OBJ)​: <built-in>
and
...$(EXT_OBJ)​: <command>

at this point the make still did not work so had to do

  ./cflags.sh

- Back in the top directory

  i had to repeat step *

then everything fell in place.

- in the t directory make harness produced
  lib/posix...........FAILED test 2

which may be ok. I suspect Configure.sh -Dgcc with another -D `might`
fix the 2 missing targets <command> and <built-in> which should
happen automatically on the configure.bat -d.

as a final suggestion one might consider a change to the dos hint's
file using c​:\perl as the prefix (for dos). putting it in with
c​:\djgpp\.. means that it is really hard to get rid of. not to
minimize dj's hard work, but in unix would you want to reinstall bash
before you upgrade perl.

attached is the myconfig output.

I abandoned djgpp looooooong ago, after several weeks of self-punishment.
IMHO it's the most horrible (unix like) development environment I ever had to
work in

i still use their bash and window, on a win95 machine but abandoned their perl in favor of ActiveState. Not only did it not build right, but MakeMaker et al were very problematic.

recently i installed rxvt under cygwin for a xp machine which seems like the way to go.

@chorny - Status changed from 'open' to 'stalled'

With #19176 merged, the DOS/DJGPP port no longer exists, closing this issue.
