Subject: RE: Buiding par-packer with dmake
I got the same version as you, except Win32::Exe wich I upgrade to 0.11
from 0.08.
Following your indications I could finally run dmake install to set up par
and friends. Thanks a lot !
Did you get it working "straight out of the box" ?
It will be a pain if you have to manually add that perl58.lib link every
time you build a perl extension.
By the way, if cpan seems to work correctly, I have broken ppm in getting
CPAN working: I forced an install of IO::Compress:Base and now I can't
unzip with ppm, I got ERROR: Undefined subroutine &Compress::Zlib::gzopen
called...
How can I have ppm and cpan working ?
I rarely use either - I do know that ppm works fine on my build 825, but I
don't think CPAN has been configured.
The error is a bit strange. Both the latest version on cpan (2.017) and the
version that shipped with build 825 (2.015) definitely contain a 'gzopen'
subroutine. So, first thing to do, is to take a look inside your
perl/site/lib/Compress/Zlib.pm and see what version it is, and whether it
contains a 'gzopen' sub. If (and only if) site/lib/Compress/Zlib.pm doesn't
exist, then you'll need to take a look at perl/lib/Compress/Zlib.pm.
Why did you need to force install ? Compress-Raw-Bzip2-2.017,
Compress-Raw-Zlib-2.017 and IO::Compress-2.017 all built, tested and
installed fine for me on build 825 (passing all tests), so your 'install'
should not have needed to be forced. (My ppm is still functional.)
Cheers,
Rob
