G'day Sadashiv Kulthe,

Thank you for reporting your compilation errors. Unless you need to
build your own version of Perl, you may find it useful to use the
version of Perl that Cygwin already provides, or one of the Windows
packages such as Strawberry Perl​: http​://strawberryperl.com/

If you do want to build your own version of Perl, there was some advice
given by Perl in your compilation which would also do with some looking
at. To start with, check that your installation of cygwin is up to date
and in good order, and further that it is running with sufficient
privileges.

For example this test​:

ext/IPC-ext/IPC-SysV/t/ipcsysv........................................#
# It may be that the cygserver service isn't running.
#
# You also may have to set the CYGWIN environment variable
# to 'server' before running the test suite​:
#
# export CYGWIN=server
#
ok

and further​:

### Since not all tests were successful, you may want to run some of
### them individually and examine any diagnostic messages they produce.
### See the INSTALL document's section on "make test".
### You have a good chance to get more information by running
### ./perl harness
### in the 't' directory since most (>=80%) of the tests succeeded.
### You may have to set your dynamic library search path,
### PATH, to point to the build directory​:
### setenv PATH `pwd`​:$PATH; cd t; ./perl harness
### PATH=`pwd`​:$PATH; export PATH; cd t; ./perl harness
### export PATH=`pwd`​:$PATH; cd t; ./perl harness
### for csh-style shells, like tcsh; or for traditional/modern
### Bourne-style shells, like bash, ksh, and zsh, respectively.

If you can confirm any tests which are consistently failing, please
submit just the information from those failed tests as well as the final
output.

Thanks again,

  Jacinta
