[Parrot-users] Building parrot on cygwin

[Fredrik Rothamel]

I'm experiencing problems when building parrot on cygwin. (All recent 
cygwin and parrot versions). I know this is a cygwin problem and not a 
bug in parrot's makefiles but I would like to know if anyone has managed 
to build successfully on cygwin and if there are any known workarounds.

BR,

Fredrik
