How about looking at the patch that's used for the cygwin package?
In case this wasn't clear enough, there is a "Src?" box behind most
cygwin packages when you use setup.exe, if you check that you will find
the source package and patches in /usr/src/.
Thanks I was not aware of that or
In general you find information regarding building a cygwin package in
/usr/share/doc/Cygwin/<package>.README
of this.
However, if the patch is the one you previously mentioned by you :
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-11/msg00024.html
I have serious concerns about patching the "perl" library package
files in order to get ImageMagick's PerlMagick to compile. There
should be a way to get PerlMagick to compile by only patching some
part of the ImagicMagick distribution.
I believe this is what Yaakov was also trying to say in his posting of
http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-11/msg00041.html
Any changes to perl (maybe there aren't many but..) could cause
problems in the future.
