Gtk-Perl on cygwin?

[Michael Graham <magog the-wire com>]

I'm trying to get Gtk-Perl to install under cygwin (on Windows 2000).  I've
got Cygwin, Perl, X, Gnome and Glade all running, but I can't seem to
compile Gtk-Perl. I think I'm having linking problems of some sort.

These are the packages I've installed:
    * cygwin 1.3.3
    * perl 5.6.1
    * glib 1.2.10
    * xfree 4.10
    * gtk 1.2.10
    * db 3.1.17
    * imlib 1.9.11
    * Orbit 1.5.8
    * gnome-libs 1.4.1
    * gnome-common 1.4.1
    * libxml 1.8.16
    * libglade 0.17
    * scrollkeeper 0.2
    * oaf 0.6.5
    * glade 0.6.x
    * xpat 1.95.0
    * gdk-pixbuf 0.13.0
    * XML::Parser 2.29
    * XML::Writer 0.4

When I try to install Gtk-Perl (0.7008), I get tons of "undefined
reference" errors in the linking stage of the various subcomponents.  I can
build the "gtk" subcomponent, all right, but none of the others.

For instance, when I try to make GdkImLib, I get output like:

    make: *** [blib/arch/auto/Gtk/Gdk/ImlibImage/ImlibImage.dll] Error 1

These appear to be symbols that are within Gtk-Perl itself (and not in some
missing external library or something).  I wonder if it's the way libraries
are built under cygwin (i.e. via dllwrap)?

Any help gratefully appreciated.
