RE: File Creation Error with winConfigure.pl (a solution)

I have a solution.

It appears that when makedefs.pl is executed, the output can't be redirected
with the a leading period.  This may be a quirk in cygwin on Win 9x (the
script worked fine on my Win NT with cygwin).  So to create the file I
removed the leading period and Walla!  This solution may fail systems that
don't suffer from this redirection issue.  However, I have attached the
modified script.

Hi Zuberi,

I had the same problem.  None of the .h files were created.   I don't know
perl but I figured out how to step through the script until I got to the
error.  It looked like the $dest variable that contains the path to write
the files is using slashes rather than back-slashes.  I did not know how to
fix the script so I went to ftp://ftp.idm.ru/libwww/Library/src/ and down
loaded the missing files.  Maybe someone who knows perl can check the
script.
