So I've been busy, but I just now picked up this issue again. Nick, thanks for patching the INSTALL. I'll continue to work on this in my Copious Free Time. I have some comments, in case somebody has a canned response prepared:
lucy/perl/INSTALL claims that one option is to install the "Perl distributions Clownfish and Clownfish::CFC". I took this to mean that I would find said distributions on CPAN. However, I did not. Is this an error in my understanding, or in someone else's uploading? clownfish/INSTALL seems to suggest that I should be able to cd into runtime/perl, follow the instructions there, and Bob's your uncle. In particular, it says that the runtime requires the compiler, and will build it if necessary. This does not seem to be the case. :( Later, Kurt On Wed, Jul 9, 2014 at 7:40 PM, Peter Karman <[email protected]> wrote: > Marvin Humphrey wrote on 7/9/14 4:26 PM: > > On Wed, Jul 9, 2014 at 9:59 AM, Peter Karman <[email protected]> wrote: > >> agreed, though I suspect this is what Marvin and Nick are referring to > when > >> they talked about showing/hiding the Clownfish API.
