Re: Installation of MakeMaker on WindowsXP
- Original Message - From: Michael G Schwern [EMAIL PROTECTED] . . I think this is the real problem. Your CPAN shell is holding MM_Unix.pm open and on Windows you can't (normally) delete a file that another process is holding open. Try 6.30_04 instead. It has an updated ExtUtils::Install that handles this sort of thing. http://search.cpan.org/~mschwern/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.30_04/ No joy there, either. (I had a bit of time to spend so played around a little.) I did everything manually to avoid any problems that CPAN.pm might throw up, but with 6.30_04 at the 'nmake install' I get: Cannot forceunlink E:\Perl638\lib\ExtUtils\MM_Unix.pm: Permission denied at E:/Perl638/lib/File/Find.pm line 519 NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'E:\Perl638\bin\perl.exe' : return code '0xff' Stop. (Note that this is build 638, perl 5.6.1. The problems arising here do not occur on perl 5.8.8.) Taking Randy's advice of installing ExtUtils::Install, one first has to modify the Makefile.PL to specifically 'use File::Spec;' then to remove the 'NO_META = 1,' in %WriteMakefile. But then I got: E:\comp56\ExtUtils-Install-1.41perl Makefile.PL Checking if your kit is complete... Looks good Can't locate object method init_main via package PACK001 (perhaps you forgot to load PACK001?) at E:/Perl638/lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm line 425. E:/Perl638/lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm is version 5.45 (which ships as standard with As build 638). Is there a simple workaround to the above problem ? It's perl 5.6.1, after all, and I sort of lost interest in pursuing it :-) In the end, the way I installed EU::MM-6.30_04 into build 638 was to create the directory 'D:/foo' and then run: perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=D:/foo nmake test (Test 4 of build_man.t failed, but I ignored that) nmake install Then I copied the 'D:/foo/bin' and 'D:/foo/lib' to 'E:/Perl638', accepting all prompts to overwrite existing files. Now I have EU::MM-6.30_04 installed in build 638 (perl 5.6.1) of ActiveState perl: E:\perl -MExtUtils::MakeMaker -e print $], \ \, $ExtUtils::MakeMaker::VERSION 5.006001 6.30_04 And that has also given me version 1.42 of EU::Install: E:\perl -MExtUtils::Install -e print $ExtUtils::Install::VERSION 1.41 Cheers, Rob

Any idea why this is happening and who if anyone should sort it out? I assume it's AS since 5.8.8 works but not 5.6.1. I'm in the process of trying to get Bioperl and all it's dependencies installed on clean installs of various AS Perl installations in order to run the suite of tests. In addition, I'd also like to make ppd's of all the Bioperl dependencies so that users can install Bioperl via PPM. However, this is proving less straight forward than I had hoped! I started with AS Perl 5.6.1 since PPM4 in AS Perl 5.8.8 seems to be in a bit of a mess from my little experience of using it the other day - it was reporting that it would downgrade a module that wasn't installed and from a version number that didn't exist! There is also talk about having Perl 5.6.1 as minimum for future versions of Bioperl, but it seems to have taken me off at a tangent :o( Thanks for you input! Nathan

You might try installing 'ExtUtils::Install', then 'Bundle::CPAN' (from the CPAN.pm shell), followed by restarting the CPAN.pm shell. See if that helps clear up some of the noise. The version of ExtUtils::Install on CPAN can install files that are otherwise locked by the operating system, producing the cannot unlink errors. Not sure about the redifinition warnings, but Bundle::CPAN may clear those up. Randy.

Either way, it's essentially the same thing, isn't it ? I mean, the latter is just an automation of the former.
