However, I built sombok easily using MSYS/MinGW and simply copied the library and header files that were generated into the expected locations in Unicode-LineBreak's build tree, and then all is well with two further changes: I had to replace all occurrences of strcasecmp with stricmp in LineBreak.xs, and I had to make the copy_unidata target in the Makefile a no-op to avoid more Unixy shell syntax (the necessary test data is bundled anyway). After that it all built and tested ok (using perl 5.12.2 and VS2010)! :- [18:17:03] t/00LineBreakTest.t .. # LineBreakTest-6.0.0.txt Date: 2010-08-30, 21:08:43 GMT [MD] [18:17:03] t/00LineBreakTest.t .. ok 1343 ms [18:17:05] t/01break.t .......... ok 145 ms [18:17:05] t/02hangul.t ......... ok 130 ms [18:17:05] t/03ns.t ............. ok 132 ms [18:17:05] t/04fold.t ........... ok 198 ms [18:17:05] t/05urgent.t ......... ok 134 ms [18:17:05] t/06context.t ........ ok 130 ms [18:17:06] t/07sea.t ............ skipped: SA word segmentation not supported.
