Previously I've set up similar build environments for Windows XP and Windows 7.

As you can see, they're mostly Linux style paths so they wouldn't be relevant on my Windows 8 machine. I must admit, I have no recollection of needing to set this up for my WinXP and Win7 builds. Furthermore, when I list their environment variables, there isn't one called INC. But it's quite possible that I did need to set something up and I've just forgotten. So to test that theory, I went back to WinXP and temporarily renamed any file called Parser.pm (i.e. so that it wouldn't get found). As you can imagine, that gave me exactly the same build error - except that this time, the paths listed were Windows style paths and they included the path that contains 'XML/Parser.pm'. XML/Parser.pm will be known as XML::Parser go to http://search.cpan.org/~msergeant/XML-Parser-2.36/Parser.pm for more info and http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/M/MS/MSERGEANT/XML-Parser-2.36.tar.gz to download it there is also a dependencies link on that page http://deps.cpantesters.org/?module=XML%3A%3AParser;perl=latest good luck I'm baffled. Can anyone think what I might need to set up in order to get the correct search paths? John ___ gtkmm-list mailing list gtkmm-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtkmm-list -- .~.

If you open a shell/Windows command prompt you can: $ perl -MCPAN -eshell This tells perl to open the CPAN shell. CPAN being the Perl module distribution app store and its shell allows a command line interface to it. Then: cpan: i /XML::Parser/ will search for modules called XML::Parser and cpan: install XML::Parser will install it for you. Because of the package managers on Linux BSD we rarely see these dependency issues. So, you'll have to forgive us non-Windows folk if we leave out such steps in the documentation. -- Dr Aidan Delaney Senior Lecturer in Computing web: http://www.ontologyenginering.org twitter: http://www.twitter.com/aidandelaney G+ : https://plus.google.com/+AidanDelaney I prefer encrypted email gpg: http://www.ontologyengineering.org/~ajd9/pubkey.gpg signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ gtkmm-list mailing list gtkmm-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtkmm-list
Re: XML/parser.pm
Thanks for all the suggestions guys. It turned out that Msys-Git (on Windows) has its own version of Perl which was conflicting with Strawberry Perl which I'd also installed. By re-arranging their order in my system path the Perl problem has now gone away. Unfortunately, I'm now left with an error message returned from M4. When running the gmmproc script I see:- m4 failed with exit code 255 I tried a few searches on Google without much success. Does anyone know what that error means?

Again, re-arranging my system path seems to have fixed the problem. :-)) John ___ gtkmm-list mailing list gtkmm-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtkmm-list
