RE: Compiling Glib 2.16.5 on strawberry perl

[RAPPAZ Francois <francois rappaz unifr ch>]

Hi Zaki

Thanks for the proposal. The perl you are using is installed by MSYS2, is it ? 

I'm using strawberry perl. And unfortunately libwinpthread-1.dll in strawberry is not compatible with the one 
in msys64/mingw32.

A naïve question sorry: using perl from MSYS2, can you start a perl script from the "normal" MS cmd.exe shell 
?
