Hi Glenn, hi list,

So far, I've been unsuccessful in doing that. I still get a version

Trying to build the latest version in SVN gets a different error,
earlier, about snprintf not being defined... the compiler supplies the
default prototype for it, and then the linker fails to find it.
I notice that the latest version makes an attempt to "extract_par" from
a file that doesn't seem to exist in the build tree, but then it continues.
Is that extract_par command from the latest version build the correct
one to use, with the file you have created and distributed per this
message?
The version I built and put on CPAN is PAR 0.92 from CPAN. It's not the
SVN version. I might have accidentally upgraded the Module::Install
version, but I doubt it. On a side note: I upgraded most if not all
modules PAR and CPAN depend upon before building PAR to the current CPAN
versions. This is meant to help the poor people getting version
conflicts between parl-internal versions of modules and the (more
current) installed versions.
Let's keep the latest SVN out of this thread. The code in
inc/Module/Install/PRIVATE/PAR.pm has been moved into the Makefile.PL in
that version and Module::Install has been upgraded to 0.61. It would be
interesting to get build reports about that, too, but I'm more concerned
with the 5.8.8/0.92 binary right now. Installing that should not require
a compiler at all!
Could you post the complete installation log, please?
Steffen
