I started to write a stand-alone script that would build and test Rakudo and then a bunch of modules, but probably it would be easier to just try to build Rakudo * including all the modules and put together a report on issues encountered.
I cloned Rakodo * from https://github.com/rakudo/star and tried to build it with perl Configure.pl --gen-parrot it complained I am in a .git directory and then quit. I tried to force it using perl Configure.pl --gen-parrot --force this time it stopped with Unable to read rakudo/tools/build/NQP_REVISION The README of Rakudo * tells me there is supposed to be a rakudo/ subdirectory, but there isn't and the subdirectories inside modules/ are also empty. Do I first need to manually clone Rakudo and the modules from Gihub and then use the --force or is there something else I need to do? Do I understand correctly that in a real Rakudo * release you'd check out the labeled release of Rakudo and the latest versions of the modules and then start the build process? regards Gabor
