I hate for my first post to a list to be "Help! I can't do X", but
that seems to be my lot in life.
I am a longtime programmer who's been using Perl on a Windows box for
a bit over a year. I'm now also using a Mac and have discovered
MacPerl within the last month. I have installed the application,
MPW_GM, the source, and the MPW tool. My folder structure is:
:DevTools:
:DevTools:MacPerl Tool:
:DevTools:MacPerl Ÿ:
:DevTools:MacPerl Ÿ:MacPerl_Src:
:DevTools:MPW-GM:
I'm trying to install either Convert-UU-O.40 or Convert-UUlib-0.11
but MakeMaker consistently returns the message "On MacOS, we need to
build under the Perl source directory or have the MacPerl SDK
installed in the MacPerl folder.", which means that $self->{PERL_SRC}
isn't defined in init_main() of MM_MacOS.pm.
I've tried putting the modules in :MacPerl Ÿ:, in :MacPerl
Ÿ:MacPerl_Src:, in :DevTools:, and in :MacPerl Ÿ:ext:. I've tried
using MPW set -e PERL_SRC to where the module is, to :MacPerl Ÿ:, to
:MacPerl Ÿ:MacPerl_Src, and to :MacPerl Ÿ:MacPerl_Src:perl.
I *know* that I'm missing something really simple here. Can anybody
point out the problem without including "nyah, nyah, nyah, you're a
PC-based idiot!" in their message? Or should I take this over to
macperl-porters?
