I'm not sure. Probably your idea of warning about detected encoding is better. S On Thu, 12 Jul 2018 at 09:58, Kamil Kułaga via RT wrote: > > Will it work fine for utf-16 users? > On Wed, Jul 11, 2018 at 11:16 AM Steve Mynott via RT > wrote: > > > > Maybe the Windows p

[perl #131814] quote bug in shell command on windows

2017-10-06 Thread steve mynott via RT
There does seem to be a quoting bug in Windows shell but none of the above examples show it. See #132183: Insufficient debug messages from zef/perl6.bat when package build fails I propose this ticket be closed.

[perl #131814] quote bug in shell command on windows

2017-10-06 Thread steve mynott via RT
I don't think this is a bug in the shell command on windows since cmd.exe behaves differently to Bourne type shells. UNIX $ echo "foo" foo Windows C:\Windows\system32>echo "foo" "foo"

It seems a bit unfair ("shooting the messenger") blaming zef for module install error messages and after all it does says "Perl 5 version requirement not met" Looking at what triggers this error... https://github.com/niner/Inline-Perl5/blob/master/Build.pm#L6 suggests you need 5.18 or better

That looks better thanks! One suggestion might be to remove the 32 bit windows MSI link (part of a 2x2 matrix of links) since its not being actively maintained and the last one dates from 2016.01. Of course part of the problem with doing this is that it doesn't really fit in with 2x2 so maybe

On Windows 10 rakudo star 2017.07 I get \"foo\" Proc.new(in => IO::Pipe, out => IO::Pipe, err => IO::Pipe, exitcode => 0, signal => 0, command => ["echo \"foo\""]) whereas on FreeBSD 10 I get foo only (no quotes or Proc.new structure) S On 29 July 2017 at 16:29, Holli Holzer

I can't reproduce on Windows 10 Professional. Was there a previous Rakudo Star install present? You could try cd %USERPROFILE% rd /s .zef rs /s .perl6 and rerunning. S On 29 July 2017 at 18:08, Richard Loveland wrote: > # New Ticket Created by Richard

Re: [perl #127308] Configure.pl with moar fails to find C compiler on older Darwin

2016-01-21 Thread Steve Mynott via RT
My guess is that the PPC version of OS X probably still has the real GCC as its compiler rather than clang as on more modern systems. You could try looking for the config line which contains the definiton of clang for OS X/darwin and changing it to gcc or if you are using rakudobrew maybe

This error message (seen with Virgin UK) was fixed yesterday so I assume if Paul was seeing this today he was using an old version -- maybe the one in Star. The behaviour I saw was a zero length projects.json. On 8 February 2015 at 14:04, Moritz Lenz via RT perl6-bugs-follo...@perl.org wrote:
