parrot/parrot — Issue #700: Expand note about rebaseall in README_cygwin.pod
Author: gerdr

State: open

The Cygwin-specific documentation should be updated to include the following information:

* remapping failures seem to be common on Win64 as both of the people (ayardley and me) who recently tested Parrot on Cygwin under Win64 have run into this issue
* other possible error messages for the same underlying problem like ayardley's `STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION` in issue #699 should be mentioned
* if the build aborts, it might be necessary to include already built DLLs in the rebase - the instructions can mirror the one's from [this README](http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/BFREE/OpenGL-0.57/README.cygwin)
* possibly a link to [this Chromium wiki entry](http://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/CygwinDllRemappingFailure) or another page which explains the problem in detail
