in thread RFC: Setting up a minGW compiling envronment for Perl 5.10

First I'll quickly cover generating my Makefile. When I do exactly as you instructed I get this output for generating my Makefile:

Including ApiDoc pod... Deleting Glib::Object::_LazyLoader from doc.pl's $data Deleting Glib from doc.pl's $data Writing build/IFiles.pm Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lgobject-2.0 Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lglib-2.0 Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lintl Note (probably harmless): No library found for -lgthread-2.0 Writing Makefile for Glib

...but when I use CPAN to generate the makefile, which explicitly passes a more complete set of include and lib paths to Makefile.PL (because of the program I've mentioned earlier) I get this output:

Including ApiDoc pod... Deleting Glib::Object::_LazyLoader from doc.pl's $data Deleting Glib from doc.pl's $data Writing build/IFiles.pm Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Writing Makefile for Glib

Which has none of the "No library found" warnings. So I'll continue with the CPAN generated Makefile.
