Hello,
I know this is a question for the cygwin list, but I have problems
maiing there, so perhaps someone of you can can help me. I'm trying to
compile ethereal-0.10.0 under windows 2000 professional using MSVC C++
6.0 and the cygwin package and get the following message:

  
text2pcap-scanner.c
Linking text2pcap.exe
        link @C:\DOCUME~1\rt7zfe\LOCALS~1\Temp\nmf01876.
        cd doc
        NMAKE /                   -f Makefile.nmake

Pod2html seems to need an executable file with the path usr/bin/perl.
The beginning of pod2html is:



#!/usr/bin/perl
eval 'exec c:programme/cygwin/usr/bin/perl -S $0 ${1+"$@"}'     

****I had to change the path from usr/bin/perl because it wasn't
found******


	if $running_under_some_shell;
=pod

=head1 NAME

pod2html - convert .pod files to .html files




But in the cygwin package usr/bin/perl is an empty dirctory (as stated
in the message). The /tmp directory exists, too. So I'm a bit confused.
Can anybody help me? Thank you.
