Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Perl Update ... the same old topic again ...
Ok, is there documentation of how to set this up available somewhere? TBH: I don't remember... the key parameter you'd have to change during the configuration of the Perl build is the installation folder. Make sure you wouldn't install it in the default location, but eg. /opt or something instead. -- Michael ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Perl Update ... the same old topic again ...
a) any chance that in the near future there will be a 7.9 nightly for Debian, compatible with Perl 5.24? "any chance" and "near future" are very flexible terms :-). What platform are we talking about anyway? b) some manual steps that I have to do *once* and then be able to upgrade LMS and/or Perl without having to worry? I'd spend a day or two reading documentation if this was possible. Some users have described how they built their own, custom Perl, installed in parallel to the system's perl. I've actually done this for a while myself. The problem then is that you can't just update using the .deb package, as that would use the system's default Perl. I did run LMS from a git clone in which I changed the path to the Perl version to be used. It's much faster to update anyway. This way you'd be independent of whatever Perl your distribution comes with, wouldn't have to wait for a .deb to be updated, could easily switch between a potential buggy revision and some older commit etc. -- Michael ___ Squeezecenter mailing list Squeezecenter@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/squeezecenter
Re: [SlimDevices: SqueezeCenter] Perl Update ... the same old topic again ...
Hi all, and again I stumbled into the same trap again, not paying attention once when doing the "aptitude update" and got the whole Perl 5.24 onto the system before realizing that this will completely break my LMS 7.9 setup again. :-( This whole Perl topic is something I still have not understood, therefore ... is there a) any chance that in the near future there will be a 7.9 nightly for Debian, compatible with Perl 5.24? or b) some manual steps that I have to do *once* and then be able to upgrade LMS and/or Perl without having to worry? I'd spend a day or two reading documentation if this was possible. TIA.
